The occasion of llie striiting difl'.rences in lliese results 

 arises from circuiiislances with whiclj at present we are 

 not made aiquainled. If this discoTery in England should 

 fulfil its promises, and Ihe Government should not think 

 proper to interfere wilh it by protecting ihcir colonial 

 produce by a lrc:ivy excise on the manufacture of home 

 Bugar, Its efl'ects upon West India produce and propeity 

 must be serious, and have a material bearing on ihe 

 value of slave propeity.
