Basseterre, in St. Christophers, March 23.  Extract of a
letter from Montserrat, dated March 21, 1768.
  Our troubles here are past expression, occasioned by a
most horrid and deep-laid plot of the negroes, for cutting
off all the white inhabitants.  This rebellion, which was to
have been executed in an instant, all over the Island, on
the night of St. Patrick, or the next, when people were
engaged in balls, was happily discovered by a poor white
woman. . .
