•444 Dislrllntlon of the Inhabiiants of Russia. [June, 



whom were 57,379 peasants of the crown, 2,028 belonging to 

 donriaais, and 30,000 to individuals : sum total of peasants 89,44/. 



A partial enumeration cf 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 txact number. 



The statements of the total population presented to the Minister 

 of the Interior differ very little from the preceding statement. 

 They make 



In 1803— Males 92,195 



Females 90,196 



Inhabitants 182,391 



In 1804— Males 94,397 



Females 87,993 



Inhabhants 182,390 



The first of these numbers is evidently the revisionary peasants, 

 and coitfiims the remark just made; for at the fifth revision of 

 17".'6 there were found 3,247 males in the other classes: namely, 

 cler.'v, 327; nobles, 531; freemen not included in the other 

 class' s, 117; merclipnts, 408; artisans, 1854. We cannot quite 

 double this number for the females, because all the tables show that 

 the number of females is inferior to that of males ; but we may at 

 least add 60,000 to the population of 1803. The statement of 

 1804 is rather imperfect ; but it approaches nearest the truth. 



As there are kw Russians in Finland, we may suppose 182,000 

 Finns in that government, according to the data of 1803. 



An enumeration made in Sv/eden in 1805 gives to Finland for- 

 merly iSwedish 895,'J'^3 inhabitants : namely, 



Nobles ',.. 2,534 



Clergy 4,019 



Burghers 1 1 ,454 



Peasants 713,285 



Persons not included in these classes . . 164,480 



Thus the sum total in old and new Finland is 1,0773773 inha- 

 bitants. 



b. The Lchores, 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. 



Peasants belonging to individuals 122,913
