Appendix, N° 2 



importation of tobacco and rice (the Americans not being 

 any longer obliged to ship their produce for British ports 

 only) amounting in value, 



Upon 44,774,458 lbs. of the former, to £. 582,987 



Upon 259,035 cwt. of the latter, to 196,526 



In the whole to £. 779,513 



The value of exports to the countries now belonging to 

 the United States, has exceeded the value of imports from 

 thence, without including Ireland, in a much greater pro- 

 portion since the war than before it; the balance of trade, 

 therefore, is more in favour of Great Britain. 



It must be highly satisfactory to the reader to know, that 

 the value of the British exports of 1789 exceeded those of 

 1784, to all countries, by £. 4,400,609 



N. B. — The reader may possibly discover two or three 

 trifling inaccuracies, none of them, however, (if there are 

 any such) exceeding a fraction, or at most an unit, in the 

 preceding computations; which the Editor has not thought it 

 necessary to notice.
