MISCELLANIES. 



64,7 



if we consider the imperfection 

 of such enumerations, we may 

 suppose the round number of 14 

 millions, which Count Tschatzki 

 gave in 1772. Hence it appears 

 that the population of Poland is 

 stationarj'. 



Russia received by the peace of 

 Tilsit and of Vienna about 600,000 

 new Polish subjects; so that the 

 total number of Polish Russians 

 amounts to 6,800,000. 



II. People of the Finnish race^ 



Inhabitants of ancient Russian 

 Finland. At the fourth revision 

 of 1782 there were reckoned, 



Males 93,234 



Females 93,266 



Inhabitants 186,500 



Among whom were 64,543 

 peasants of the crown, and 2,207 

 belonging to individuals : total of 

 peasants, 66,750. 



At the fifth revision, of 1796, 

 there were 92,684 males ; among 

 whom were 57,379 peasants of 

 the crown, 2,028 belonging to 

 domains, and 30,000 to indivi- 

 duals; sura total of peasants, 

 89,447. 



A partial enumeration of 1797, 

 gave 89,188 peasants. 



The first commission for the 

 affairs of Finland, established on 

 the 19th of May, 1803, indicated 

 64,074 peasants of the crown, and 

 28,000 belonging to individuals : 

 total 92,074. This appears the 

 most exact number. 



The statements of the total po- 

 pulation presented to the Minister 

 ef the Interior differ very little 

 from the preceding statement. 

 They make 



la 1 SOS—Males 92,195 



Females 90,196 



Inhabitants .. 182,391 



In 1804— Males 94,397 



Females 87,993 



Inhabitants .. 182,390 



The first of these numbers is 

 evidently the revisionary peasants, 

 and confirms the remark just 

 made ; for at the fifth revision of 

 1796 there were found 3,247 

 males in the other classes : namely, 

 clergy, 327 ; nobles, 531 ; free- 

 men not included in the other 

 classes, 1 17 ; merchants, 408 ; 

 artisans, 1,854. We cannot quite 

 double this number for the fe- 

 males, because all the tables show 

 that the number of females is in- 

 ferior to that of males ; but we 

 may at least add 60,000 to the 

 population of 1803. The state- 

 ment of 1804 is rather imperfect j 

 but it approaches nearest the 

 truth. 



As there are few Russians in 

 Finland, we may suppose 182,000 

 Finns in that government accord- 

 ing to the data of 1803. 



An enumeration made in Swe- 

 den in 1806 gives to Finland for- 

 merly Swedish 895,772 inhabi- 

 tants : namely. 



Nobles 2,634 



Clergy 4,019 



Burghers 11 ,454 



Peasants 713,285 



Persons not included in 



these classes ■ 164,480 



Thus the sum total in old and 

 new Finland is 1,077,772 inha- 

 bitants. 



The Ischores, or Finns of Ingria, 

 constitute the great majority of 

 the inhabitants of the country in 

 the government of Petersburgh. 



At the fifth revision there were 

 in this government,
