 Another report respecting the

 peasants. 



The statements of the general 

 population of this government 

 give for 1803 the number of re- 

 visionaries.

The statement for 1804 (exclud-

We may therefore reckon the 

 Ischores inhabiting the govern- 

 ment of St. Petersburgh at 

 330,000. 



The Ischores inhabit the north- 

 ern parts of the government of 

 Novgorod. Their number is 

 reckoned in the circle of Tichwiu 

 at 15,000 men, in the circle of 

 Belosersk at 10,000, and in the 

 circle of Kirilow at about the 

 same. Hence there exist in this 

 government about 35,000 males, 

 or 70,000 individuals of this race. 



The Ischores, or rather the 

 Finns of Carelia, were the old in- 

 habitants of the government of 

 Olonetz. At present they consti- 

 tute no more than a third of the 

 population of the country, which, 

 according to a table drawn up in 

 1804 amounted to 91,482 males; 

 so that 30,000 males, or 60,000 

 Ischores of both sexes, is their 

 amount. 



From these data the most pro- 

 bable amount of the Ischores is as 

 follows : — 



Ischores of St. Pe- 

 tersburgh 330,000 



Novgorod 70,000 



Olonetz . 60,000 



460,000 

 The Laplanders of Archangel 

 amount to 1,200 families, or about 

 4,800 individuals. This number 

 will not appear too great if we 

 consider the imperfect state of the 

 enumeration of the nomades. 



The Esthes, a people of the 

 Finnish race, are spread over Li- 

 vonia. The Livonians, the ancient 

 inhabitants of the country, exist 

 in a very small number upon the 

 little river Salis. They have been 

 confounded among the Lettes, a 

 Sclavonian people, and among the 

 Esthes. Of these last there were 

 in the circle of Walk about 2,000 

 males ; in the circle of Werroe, 

 28,394 in the country, and 126 

 in the town ; about 10,000 in the 

 country in the circle of Dorpat, 

 and 1,025 in the town; in the 

 circle of Fellin, 18,388 in the 

 country, and 76 in the town ; 

 and, finally, inthe circle of Pernau, 

 33,158 : making a total of 93,767 

 males, or 187,534 individuals. 

 These data are not new ; but
