Inhabitants... According to these data the population would have gained 111,668; but it is more probable that this apparent augmentation is the effect of repeated mistakes in the enumerations. The difference between the statement of General Opperman in 1796, and the population of 1804, is considerable, amounting to 305,987. In general the first enumerations give the smallest sums; but in this case we see the contrary. It is probable that during the first years there took place a silent emigration, similar to what happened in the Tauride, an event pretty common in countries newly occupied. But the difference appears too great to be accounted for in this 2,984,825 .6,073,044 way. In the ministerial statements of 1803 and 1804 it is observed, "The real number of inhabitants is greater than is marked in these statements; for it has been found that the numbers given by the governors do not much exceed those which give only the persons comprehended in the revisions. We may safely add 20,000 inhabitants to every government." If we add, then, for the seven governments, 140,000, the total number in 1804 will be 6,213,044; which differs by 164,987 from the number of inhabitants assigned in 1996. From these data Austria appears to have in her Polish provinces, 5,091,170 inhabitants 2,372,689 ..6,213,044 13,876,903 94,397 Females. 87,993 Inhabitants.. 182,390 If we consider the imperfection In 1804-Males.... of such enumerations, we may suppose the round number of 14 millions, which Count Tschatzki gave in 1772. Hence it appears that the population of Poland is stationary. Russia received by the peace of Tilsit and of Vienna about 600,000 new Polish subjects; so that the - total number of Polish Russians amounts to 6,800,000. II. People of the Finnish race. Inhabitants of ancient Russian Finland. At the fourth revision of 1782 there were reckoned, Males.... ..... Inhabitants..... 93,234 186,500 Among whom were 64,543 peasants of the crown, and 2,207 belonging to individuals: total of peasants, 66,750. At the fifth revision, of 1796, there were 92,684 males; among whom were 57,379 peasants of the crown, 2,028 belonging to domains, and 30,000 to individuals sum total of peasants, 89,447 A partial enumeration of 1797, gave 89.188 peasants. The first commission for the affairs of Finland, established on the 19th of May, 1803, indicated 64,074 peasants of the crown, and 28,000 belonging to individuals : total 92,074. This appears the most exact number. The statements of the total population presented to the Minister of the Interior differ very little from the preceding statement. They make In 1803-Males..... 92,195 Inhabitants.. 182,391 The first of these numbers is evidently the revisionary peasants, and confirms the remark just made; for at the fifth revision of. 1796 there were found 3,247 males in the other classes: namely, clergy, 327; nobles, 531; freemen not included in the other classes, 117; merchants, 408; artisans, 1854. We cannot quite double this number for the females, because all the tables show that the number of females is inferior to that of males; but we may at least add 60,000 to the population of 1803. The statement of 1804 is rather imperfect; but it approaches nearest the truth. As there are few Russians in Finland, we may suppose 182,000 Finns in that government according to the data of 1803. An enumeration made in Sweden in 1805 gives to Finland formerly Swedish 895,773 inhabitants: namely, Another report respecting the distribution of salt gives 168,602 peasants. The statements of the general population of this government give for 1803 the number of revisionaries, amount. From these data the most probable amount of the Ischores is as follows: Ischores of St. Pe tersburgh... ...... 330,000 Novgorod 70,000 -Olonetz. 60,000 460,000 The Laplanders of Archangel amount to 1200 families, or about 4800 individuals. This number will not appear too great if we consider the imperfect state of the enumeration of the nomades. The Esthes, a people of the Finnish race, are spread over Livonia. The Livonians, the ancient inhabitants of the country, exist in a very small number upon the little river Salis. They have been confounded among the Lettes, a Sclavonian people, and among the Esthes. Of these last there were in the circle of Walk about 2,000 males; in the circle of Werroe, 28,394 in the country, and 126 in the town; about 10,000 in the country in the circle of Dorpat, and 1,625 in the town; in the circle of Fellin, 18,388 in the country, and 76 in the town; and, finally, in the circle of Pernau, 33,158: making a total of 93,767 males, or 187,534 individuals. These data are not new; but the population in Livonia having made made little progress, in 1792 there anes, 49,088 Tscheremisses, or in all about 511,652 individuals. were Males... Females. 268,891 The Ostiaques on the Ob, in the 269,580 government of Tobolsk, amount to 18,691 males: the Tepteri and 538,471 Bobilei, a Finnish and Tartar tribe, in the government of Perm, to 1,838 males; making a total of 20,529 males, or 41,058 individuals. And in 1800-Males.. Females. 285,493 285,421 The result of these data respecting the Finnish nations is as follows: As for the Esthes of Esthland Finns.. of approximation. 1,077,773 there were in 1795, Ischores.. 460,000 Peasants belonging to individuals...... 93,156 Tschuwasches, Mordu -domains. 1,638 anes, and Tschere the crown.. 6,173 Individuals 312,948 By doubling the data for 1795 we should have the number of 389,468 for the Esthes in Livonia. The Syrjaenes, a tribe of Finns in the government of Wologda and Perme, do not exceed a few thousands. The Permaeques, the Wogules, and the Wotjaeques, according to the statements in the tables of the governments of Tobolsk and Tomsk, amount to 2,017 males, or about 5,028 individuals. The Tschouwasches, the Mor duanes, and the Tscheremisses, according to the financial table of 1795, amount to the number of 255,826 males: namely, 144,006 Tschouwasches, 62,732 Mordu Permaeques, Wogules, and Wotjaeques.. We may estimate the whole Finnish people therefore at two millions and a half. III. Tartars. Tartars of Kasan.-The statements of the population of this government in 1802 make it 47,801 males; a number approaching to that of Georgi (t. iii. p. 363), obtained from the third revision, of 1763 namely 48,712 males. We may estimate the total at 95,602. Tartars of Astrachan.-From the statements of 1802, the nomades Tartars amounted to 6,703 families, or about 26,812 individuals; the Tartars dwelling in fixed habitations, 9,508 males; making a sum total of 45,828 individuals. Tartars of the Crimea and Ecatherinoslaw. According to Pallas Pallas (Voyage dans les Provinces Meridionales de la Russie, t. ii. p. 347,) they amount to 120,000 males. The statements respecting the Tartar population of this government are very imperfect. The Tartars have long been in the habit of withdrawing themselves from the revision. On that account the estimate of Pallas is the most probable. The Tartars of Perme, according to Mr. Bakarewitsch, in his work, entitled, Statistical Description of Siberia drawn up from the Reports made to the Minister of the Interior, published in 1810, amount to 5,629 males, and the Tartars of Tobolsk to 25,820; making together 31,440 males. Tartars of Caucasus.-The returns of 1802 mark only those of Tarkow, to the number of 1200 families. From these data there are, Tartars of Kasan Astrachan... 95,602 45,828 But as all the statements of the population of these people show that the number of females is inferior to that of males, it may be necessary to strike off about 30,000 on this account. Their number will then be conformable to the statement of Mr. Storch, who, estimating the Russian Tartars at 200,000, and those united to Russia by the treaties of peace of 1774, 1783, and 1791, at 214,318, makes the sum total amount to 414,318 individuals. The Baschkines, the Metscheraeques, the Boucharzi, the Taschkinzi, the Jakoutes, and the Kirgises, are likewise of the Tartar race. "According to the statements of 1802 and 1803 there were |
