The ifland of Trinidad has received more improve ment during the fliort time it has been in Britifti pof 'feffibn, than it probably would, had it continued half another century in the hands of Spain and as a fugar ifland, its value is fo great, that with half th6 labour and expence (thofe who beft know it confefs) it may be made to produce more fugar and rum than Jamaica itfelf.
