THE SAINTS, are three small islands, three leagues distant from Gaudaloupe, which form a triangle, and have a tolerable harbour. Thirty Frenchmen were sent hither in 1648, but were soon driven away by an excessive drought, which dried up their only spring before they had time to make any reservoirs. A second attempt was made in 1652, and permanent plantations were established, which now yield 50,000 weight of coffee, and 100,000 of cotton.
