balance against Lima of one hundred and fifty-six thousand 

 one hundred and sixty-four piastres. 



Such is the sketch of the a6tive commerce of Peru, and of 

 the natural produ6lions of its soil. It demonstrates the ab-

 with. the exception of the advantages it derives from several 

 of the provinces of Buenos- Ayres, it is not able to balance, by 

 its produ6tions, those it draws from the other departments of 

 America, for its own consumption and use. This subje6t will 

 be best illustrated by a general recapitulation of what has been 

 exposed above.
