Basseterre, in St. Christophers, March 23.  Extract of a
letter from Montserrat, 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 the people were engaged in
balls, was happily discovered by a poor white woman. . .
