ANNUAL REGISTER, 18]4. 



below the truth. We maj' there- 

 fore reckon in the empire ten 

 millions and a half of subjects who 

 are no't Russians. 



The numher of inhabitants at- 

 present in Russia is 41,253,483, 

 and this number is certainly a mi- 

 nimum. 



According to these data the 

 number of Russian inhabitants 

 amounts to 31,043,483, and the 

 foreigners subject to the empire 

 do not exceed one quarter of the 

 whole people. This is a propor- 

 tion very advantageous for the 

 ruling nation. The variations in 

 the total amount will not alter this 

 proportion. 



And these 31 millions of Rus- 

 sians have the inestimable advan- 

 tage of a concentrated population, 

 while the other nations are spread 

 over a prodigious extent of country. 

 The Russian nation forms the 

 centre of this immense empire, 

 it inhabits the best cultivated 

 provinces, and is the best si- 

 tuated for communicating both 

 by land and water. The south of 

 Russia begins to be peopled by 

 the surplus of the Russian popu- 

 lation. All these advantages dou- 

 ble the force of the Russian nation, 

 and ensure it the most decided 

 preponderance.
