. The Roman Catholics are calculated at 
2,700,000 fouls, the Diifenters (Greeks 
or Schifmatics, as they are called) at 
*,%77,000, the Calvinifts at 3,300,000, 
the Lutherans at.800,000, and the Jews 
at 75,000. The clergy of thete different 
perfuafions amount in the whole to 15,000, 
fo that every 49eth perfon beiengs to the 
clergy. 
The Hungarian dominions contain 48 
free royal cities, inhabited by oniy336,000 
fouls. This proportion between the 
town and country peoyle, which is as 1 
to 20, clearly fhows, hew deficient the 
kingdom is in that fpecies of induitry, 
which flourifhes in towns. 
According to a very moderate valua- 
tiom the net yearly income of the Roman 
catholic bifhops in Hungary, amounts to 
$64,7coguilders or florins(about 72,0001, 
fterline) and that of 21 chaper's to 530,600 
uilders (about 45,0001. fterling). . 
In the national education are engaged 
&c10 fchoclmafters, 3426 of whom are 
Roman Catholics, 1600 Calvinifts, 609 
Lutherans, and 301 Diifenters. 
The Hungarian mines yield at prefent

The kingdom produces yearly, upon an 
average, fitty million bufhels of grain, of 
which it confumes itfelf 28,500,000 bufh- 
els, and exports to the value of 2,213;682 
‘guilders (about 135,000. tterling). 
For the culture of the vine Hungary ts 
indebted to the Roman Emperor Probus, 
who, being himfelf a native of Syrmia, 
caufed about the year 276 the marfhes in 
Syrmia to be drained by his fuldiers, and 
Vineyards to be planted. The Syrmian 
“wine enjoyed’ many centuries a diitin- 
uifhed reputation, and was afterwards 
fuperfeded by the wine of Tokay, which 
began to be known abroad as early as the 
latter part of the fixteenth century. Be- 
fides the wine of Tokay, Hungary pof- 
feffes feveral other forts of delicious wine, 
the quantity exported of which amounts 
yearly, upon on average, to 1,200,000 
guilders (about 100,000l, fterling). 
The exportation of tobacco has much 
decreafed fince the peace of Paris, which 
re-opened to the Virginia-tobacco all its 
former channels of trade. Yet in the 
Statijircal Account of Hungary. 
[Sept. 
year 17386, the tobacco exported from 
Hungary amounted ftill to 619,858 guil- 
ders (about 61,500]. fterling), and its 
exportation has fince rather encreafed. 
Yet all this profit, arifing from new 
materials, is entirely abforbed by the in- 
flux of foreign manufactures, particu- 
larly by thofe imported from the German 
imperial dominions into the Hungarian 
provinces, which are fo extremely defi- 
cient in point of induftry ; that as late as 
1784, -but one cloth-worker was to he 
met with throughout Croatia. All Hun- 
gary contains no more than 25 glafs- 
houfes, which fcarce produce fuficient 
glafs for home-confumption, and the 
number of “paper-mills does not exceed 
twenty; all other manufactures are un- 
deferving of notice. ; 
During the ten years period from 1777 
to 17386. 
ties to the amount of 148,299,177 guil- 
ders (about 12,250,000]. fterlg), and 
the value of goods imported from abroad 
amounted to 106,721,372 guilders (about 
8,000,000]. fierling), fo that, upon an 
average, there remained a yearly balance of 
45150,7380 guilders (about 345,000]. 
fteriing) in favour of Hungary. But 
this pericd, which a variety of incidental 
circumftances rendered uncommonly fa- 
vourable fer the Hungarian provinces, can 
afford no general rule for eftimating the 
benefits arifing from their foreign trade. 
In the laft ten years period, when but 
few troops remained in the country, when 
‘the meetings of the States, coronations, 
and national levies eccafioned’ extracrdi- 
nary expences, witch, in a great meafure 
were fpent abroad ; when the exportation 
of grain was prohibited feveral years and 
the maritime trade of Fiume and Trieft 
greatly obftructed, the balance cf trade 
was entirely againft Hungary. . 
Though the Hungarian peafant be not 
glebe adjcriptus, fince he enjoys the liber- 
ty of removing from one farm to another, 
yet he is utterly devoid of landed pro- 
perty; for the whole farm, which gene-

barn, twenty-four acres of arable land, 
fix acres of meadow and feme paiture- 
ground, he is bound to ferve the lord of 
the manor yearly, 104 days with his 
hands, 52 days with his horfes and cat- 
tle, and to pay a yearly ground-rent of 
four guilders (about feven fhillings fter- 
ling), befides a ninth of the whole pro- 
duce of his ground; two fowls, twelve 
eggs, and half a meafure of hog’s lard.
