In 1832, the crop rose to 91,000 hogsheads of sugar, and nearly twenty millions of pounds of coffee.

But 1833 comes, and, with it, fresh troubles for the planters.

In that ill-fated year, there was a decrease of 13,000 hogsheads sugar, and of ten millions of pounds of coffee.

Its sugar crop was the smallest made, with the exception of that of 1825, since 1793, and its coffee crop since that of 1798.

But if this determination be alarming, what must be that of the succeeding years.
