""There are several observations to be made in calculating 

 the increase for every period of ten years. 



" 1st. The inhabitants of the countries situated on the north 

 of the Ohio, (States of the Ohio, Indiana, and the Illinois, and 

 the territory of Michigan), and also the inhabitants of the 

 territory forming tit present the state of Mississipi, were not 

 numbered in 1790, and they ought to be added to the enu- 

 meration of that year. I calculate that they were at that 

 period : 



Whites ...10,000 a 



Free Blacks 200 ' 11,800 



Slaves 1,600 ) 



" 2dly, Three counties of the state of Alabama have been 

 omitted in the estimate of 1820, but it is known that they 

 contained more than 12,000 inhabitants, of which nearly 

 8000 were whites, 4000 slaves, and 50 free blacks. 



<( 3dly, Louisiana having been acquired only in 1803, could 

 not be comprehended in the enumerations of 1790 and 1800. 

 According to the enumerations made in 1799-1802 by the 

 Spanish government, the population of Louisiana was in 

 1800; 





Lower 

 Louisiana, 

 at present 

 Louisiana. 



Arkansa. 



Upper 

 Louisiana, 

 at present 

 Missouri. 



Total. 















This number must 

 be added to the enu- 

 meration of 1800, 

 when we calculate the 

 increase from 1800 to 

 1810.
