TWISTII7I?

We tome months (ince' mentioned the difcovery
of a plot formed by the !laves in the Southern States
of America, for the purpofe of murdering their
matters, and effeaing a revolution in the Property
and Government of the country ; tome of the prin-
cipal confpirators were executed ; and it was be-
lieved that the fyllem of infurreaion had been
wholly diffipated. Thu eitablifhment, however, of
a Negro Government in St. Domingo has encou-
raged the.l3lacks in America to new efforts for
the attainment of equality, and it appears that a
well-organized Mime of revolt has recently been
dircovered and defeated.

The following letter has been found in the pof-
fell-ion of a Negro in Halifax Town, North Ciro-
lina, and has been fubmitted by the Executive to
the lA:gill:dive Bodies, with numerous other docu•
meats to the fame effet :
" Sir—lt is with pleafure I inform you, for your comfort,

" The Reprefentative of the Roanoak Company (poke his
political fentiments Co handfotnely on a new (theme, that it was
unanimoufly agreed to, that if this did not take ylseei &it add

Lail Monday afternoon a form of thunder 2nd
lightning, accompanied with fnow and hail, was
witneiTed in its progrefs in feveral parts of Norfolk.
At Lvnn and other places the thunder was awful-
ly lou'd, and the hail (tones that fell were of large
dimenfions.

During this form, which was unufually fevere
for this feafon of the year, as two gardners (whofe
names are Mitchell and Cranmore) were taking
fhelter in a cottage facing Hampton Green, the
houfe was (truck by lightning, which beat down
the chimney, fcaled the walls without and within,
and partly unroofed the dwellin ; Mitchell, who'
was fitting in the kitchen, was forced by the vio-
lence of the elearic fluid (which appeared like one
Iheet of fire) from off his chair, upon the floor,
where he remained for Come time in a fate of in.
fenfibility. He was afterwards put to bed, and
fufpended animation was reftored, and he is likely
to do well. Cranmore, and the other people in
the houfe were funned, but received no material
injury.

the additional expences. There was not any cri-
minal bufinefs at Inverary, which terminated the
Went Circuit.

On Wednefday fe'nnight at night, the houfe of
Colonel Barry, at Newtown Barry, was reduced
to aches. By an advertifement in the Dublin Jour-
nal, it appears this noble manfion was malicioufly
fet on fire by incendiaries, for the apprehending
of any of whom Colonel Barry's friends have of-
fered nearly 6001. reward.
Between Monday night and Tuefday morning,
loft week, a barn, containing a confiderable quan-
