Extract of a letter from Antiqua, Oct, 24.  Here has been a
general stop to all business, occasioned by the happy
discovery of an accursed Negro plot, which should have been
perpetrated on the 11th instant, the anniversary or the
King's coronation, on which day the General usually gives a
handsome ball to the gentlemen and ladies of the whole
island; but this was postpon'd till the 30th instant, upon
account or the death of the general's son at St.
Christophers some little time ago: . . . [description of the
failed Negro plot against the ball and subsequent
punishments.]
