Ever since the vigorous Republic of Cromwell, Jamaica has been a settlement of the English, as Domingo, since the treaty of Ryswick, (1697) has been, a possession of the French; yet a part from the influence got by Government on both sides, what have the people in either nation gained, but a balance of inexplicable astonishment and loss! The vain privilege of buying of their countrymen at a dearer rate than the same commodities sell for in the foreign markets. For at Vienna, obviously ill-placed as it is, sugar, indigo, and cotton are cheaper than at Paris, or in London!
