874 COXn’S TRAVELS IN RUSSIA,
According to this ftatement, half the trade of St. Peterfburgh is in the hands of the
Englifh ; but as their exports and imports in 1777 exceeded thofe of the preceding or
fubfequent years, this eftimate may be confidered as too highly rated; we may fairly,
however, allow, upon the mofl moderate computation, that a third of this commerce is
carried on by our factory.
‘The average number of merchant fhips, which annually arrive from England at the
port of Cronftadt, with goods laden for St. Peterfburgh, may be collected from the
following table :
Years, Ships. | Years. Ships. | Yeara. Ships. | Years. Ships.

In 1799, the exports from St. Peterfburgh amounted to 38,169,925 roubles; the
imports 19,290,779. ;
In 1778 the following number of veffels arrived at Cronftadt :
Englifh > 252 | Dutch - 147 | Hamburgh - 2

Swedifh - 47 | Dantzick - 2
Befide the metropolis, the Ruffian trade in the Baltic is carried on at Riga, Revel,
Narva, and Wiburgh. From Riga t a confiderable quantity of corn is exported by the
Englifh, Swedes and Dutch, which is fent down the Duna from the provinces of Plefcof,
Smolenfko, and Novogorod: the mafts are alfo fhipped from the fame port. The
other exports from this, and the above-mentioned maritime towns, are fimilar to thofe
of St. Peterfburgh.
%* The French exports and imports are, in time of war, moftly conveyed in Dutch bottoms, which is
the reafon why, in 1778, but one French veffel arrived at Cronftadt, although their exports and imports
for that year amounted to 148,753]. + See the account of Riga in the 2d volume,
