notwithstanding the repeated and strong representa-
boos from the West India body of the distressed
situation of the sugar planters. no ColletP.lolll, no
measure of relief, could be obtained from his Ma-

inevitable. Many, indeed, are already ruined. and
at the approaching Session of Assembly it will be-
come a most serious consideration how the usual
supplies are to be raised. We hare gone on for
years by borrowing money, but such a system can-
not long endure, and, unless the war duties ut least
are taken off, our inability to raise them ally longer
