THE loss of a umber of
sugar estates in a neigh
bouring Island must occasion
a considerable advance in the
price of sugars. Thus while
the planters here were kept
in fear by the account of
Raft India manufaflured su
gar, and the growing im
portance of the Maple Sugar
of America, in one moment
has that been effe^ed which
no human forefight could
possibly have difeovered.

—it will never come until ignorance is
gone. Knowledge, the knowledge of the

would cost, and more than it is valued at.
Learning has not yet had credit for half

A CONFUSION ofideas

consistency whether in fpcech
or writing tc We are told in
this'day's Gazette of the U.
States* after a few prefatory
lines, of which we can make
nothing, that" men of worth
and talents are called ariflo
crats, and are pointed out as
the enemies of The country."
To this it is replied, that men
of worth and talents are not
called aristocrats ; therefore
the inference " that fuqh are
pointed out as the enemies to
the country" is falfe, arid un
worthy of even the vilest
scribbler, The aristocrats,
whom Free Americans repro
bate, are but few, and under
the influence of one man of
talents. With refpe& to every
species of worthy which his
followers and flatterers im
