In the course of the same year, the exports of the United States for the different parts of Great Britain were 1,600,000 pounds sterling, while the imports from England into the United States amounted to 6,800,000 pounds sterling. The commerce of the English nation with the United States, amounted then to a seventh of the value of the whole exports of Great Britain, which are valued by Mr. Medford at 51 millions

of pounds sterling.

M. Playfair (Statistical Breviary, p. 58.) estimates the total population of the English possessions of Hindostan in 1801, at only 23 millions of inhabitants. He allows for the three provinces of Bengal, Bahar, and Benares, 18,500,000. According to the information received at the Presidency of Calcutta from the collectors of tributes, it was believed that the population of Bengal and Bahar in 1789 did not exceed 22 millions. Sir William Jones in the preface to his translation of Al Sirajiyah, lays down 24 millions; and the authors of the Observations on the agriculture and commerce of Hindostan”, printed at Calcutta in 1800, fix the population of Bengal, Bahar, and Benares at 27 millions. They even affirm that this estimate, far from being exaggerated, is, on the contrary, perhaps three or four millions too low. From these data it appears that the English possessions of the Continent of Asia have 32,300,000 inhabitants, which, supposing a territorial extent of 48,299 square leagues, gives 678 individuals to the square league.

SUPPLEMENT.

On the Territorial Eatent and Population of Spanish America.

I HAVE brought together in the following Table all the information which I have been able hitherto to acquire * respecting the territorial extent, population, produce of gold and silver mines, and value of imports from the old Continent into the Spanish Colonies of America. M. Oltmanns was kind enough to take the charge of the calculations of the extent of the surfaces in square leagues.
