But, the Importations of the five first Articles in the English
part, exceed all the Importations of France, and the amount of the
first article of English Export, is greater than the whole Export French Trade.

In comparing the progress of Agriculture, Manufactures and Commerce,
in France, for 50 years past, Commerce is, of all the sources of wealth, that
which has made the smallest advance. The increase of population
has necessarily given some development to the internal trade: the
people have both produced and consumed more, but the progress of
half a century has added little to the commercial relations of Franch
and, her system has neutralised the advantages which might have
resulted from her growing capacities. The general Imports and
Exports in 1830 scarcely exceed the amount they had reached before
the Revolution in 1787-9, notwithstanding the immense increase of
population in the civilized parts of the world, and the extent of country
which has been open to commercial enterprize, by political
events. The Commerce of France, which amounted in 1787
to about 600 Millions of francs, or 25 Millions Sterling in Imports,
engaged 455,969 Tons of French } Shipping,
and 433,599 Tons of Foreign } Shipping
888,868 Tons of Shipping, in all,
and her population, which, in 1780, was 24,800,000 (Necker, Administration
des Finances, p.206,) may be estimated at 26 Millions, in 1787. The whole
amount of the Imports of France, in 1830, was 25 1/2 Millions Sterling*, * Of these amounts, 7 1/2 Millions Sterling of Iports, and 6 1/2 Millions of Exports, were conveyed by land.
