were consumed within the province ; and 500,466 ; 

 were exported, or remained in the country at the 

 next harvest. Of this surplus, some part must have 

 been Barley or Oats; and as the Winter Corn con- 

 sists of six times as much Rye as Wheat, it is not 

 probable that this district, very rich when compared 

 with the other parts of the Russian dominions, could 

 have furnished to commerce fifty thousand quarters 

 of Wheat in a year, when the exports from Dantzic 

 were very great, and the prices of the year preceding 

 had been in England very high. As the communi- 

 cation by water from this province is more easy to 

 the Black than to the Baltic Sea, its surplus Corn 

 will more frequently be conveyed to Odessa than- to 

 Dantzic. 



Podolia, like Volhynia, is represented as highly 

 fertile ; and by the Official Accounts, extracted from 

 the statistical writer before quoted, appears to pre- 

 sent, in the year referred to already, a greater rate 

 of increase in the seed- that has been sown, than Vol- 

 hynia. Being to the -south of Volhynia,- it is still 

 more easy of access to the Black Sea than that 

 province, and further removed from communication 

 with England through Dantzic. It however de- 

 serves to be remarked, that the navigation of the 

 Bug and the- Vistula is better than that of the 

 Dniester, because the latter river has many shallows 

 and rapids, and some dangerous falls. The passage 

 of the surplus Wheat will be hence determined on by 

 th6 state of the markets at Dantzic and Odessa. The 

 access to both those markets is so difficult, that only 

 when a scarcity in some part of Europe raises the
