The population, since 1790, has probably decreased one-fifth; 

 so that the city now contains, by estimate, 40,000 inhabitants. 

 This decrease must be referred to the war of the revolution, 

 which carried off many in the battle fields ; others removed to 

 Spain rather than join the patriot cause.
