Philadelphia, April 21. Extract of a letter from Montserrat
March 21.
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 the people were
engag'd in balls, was happily discovered by a poor white
woman. . . [16 more lines about the discovery of the plot,
the capture of the perpetrators, etc.]
