2 Prefent Trade of Great-Britain.—Population of Dublin, [¥eb. ts 
of the three years preceding March 1796, 
was 6,100,000, whereas the medium va- 
lue, by the accounts of the Infpeétor-Ge- 
neral, was 4,572,000. Since that period 
the imports of the Eaft-India Company 
have confiderably increafed, and the dif- 
ference between their fale-prices and the 
Cuftom-houfe value is rather greater than 
was thus ftated. Thefe accounts, how- 
ever unfatisfactory in many refpetts, are 
the only grounds on which we can form 
an idea of the total value of the merchan- 
dize imported, and which appears to have 
been as follows :— 
In 1800, £-50;570,605 
In 1801, 3237952557 
In 1802, 31544.2,318 
In 1863; 2719921464 
The Exports are likewife greatly un- 
dervalued, except in a very few inftances, 
of which the article of coffee is the moft 
confiderable. This is valued in the ex- 
ports at 141. rcs. per cwt., and being a 
commodity of which a large quantity 
comes to this country annually for expor- 
tation to the Continent, the total value of 
the exports in the Cuftom-houfe accounts, 
though certainly not increafed thereby to 
near its a¢tual amount, is rendered fome- 
what greater than it would have appeared 
in proporticn to the rates fixed for other 
articles, or even if this commodity was 
ing account, therefore, the article of cof- 
fee is reduced as nearly to its real value in 
each year as could be afcertained, the - 
ether articles remaining as in the eftablifh- 
ed Book of Rates. 
TOTAL OFFICIAL VALUE OF THE EX- 
PORTS OF GREAT-BRITAIN;: 
In 1800, £-33,120,120 
In 1801, 375786,356 
In 1802, 415,411,966 
In 1803, 325578:495 
Tn 1804, 344495865 
About two-thirds of thefe totals confit 
ef Britith produce and manufactures, be- 
ing the part in which chiefly the value is. 
under-rated. The real value of this part 
is however now fuinciently known. Since 
the year 1798 the exporters have been re- 
quired to declare the real value of all Bri- 
tith mafiufactures exported, in confequence 
of which it appears that the amount of 
this part of the exports in 1803, which 
by the official rates appeared to be 
22,252,0271., was in faét 40,100,870l. ; 
and the amount in the year 1804, which 
appeared to be 23,934,294],) was in fact 
40534936420
