20,194,794 To the North-west Coast of America Amount of feveral Returns received fince the 15th} February, 1791, 210,810 : 84 A SUMMARY of the Value and Destination of the EXPORTS of the UNITED STATES, agrecably to the foregoing Abstract. IN Addition to the foregoing, a confiderable Number of Packages have been exported from the United States, the Value of which, being omitted in the Returns from the Cuftom-Houses, could not be introduced into this Abstract. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, February 15th, 1791. TENCH COXE, Affiftant Secretary. P 2 SECOND ACCOUNT received fince the Report was printed. THE following Account (which is published by Mr. Jefferson, Secretary of State to the United States of America, in the Appendix to his Report of the 1st February 1790, on the Cod and Whale Fisheries, carried on by the Subjects of the faid States) has also been received fince the foregoing Report was printed.-It contains an Account of the Quantity of Rice, Flour, Wheat, Rye, and Barley, imported into the Ports of France from the United States of America, in the Year 1789; being a Part of that Period, in which a Dearth prevailed in France, for Want of Provifions of this Nature. This Account being only for the Year 1789, does not correspond in Point of Time with the preceding Abstract of Exports from the United States, which contains an Account of the faid Exports from August 1789, to the 30th September 1790.-If the Periods, to which these two Accounts refer, had been the fame, it would have been poffible to have stated with Accuracy, what Proportion of the Whole of these Articles, which appear by the firft of thefe Accounts to have been exported from the Countries of the United States, were imported, according to the fecond of these Accounts, into the Ports of France. But though thefe Periods are in Part different, it has been thought right to add, at the Foot of this Account, a comparative State of the Quantities of each of these Articles exported from the United States, in the Period to which the firft Account refers; and of the Quantities of each of the faid Articles which were imported into the the Ports of France, in the Period, to which the second of these Accounts refers. It will ferve to fhew, generally, how large a Proportion of the several Sorts of Grain, exported from the United States, was fent to France, during the Time that there was fo great a Want of them in the Markets of Europe. It is proper to obferve, that as the Produce of the several Sorts of Grain in France is fuppofed to be, in common Years, fufficient for the Confumption of the Inhabitants of that Kingdom, the Trade of the United States with France, in all these Articles, except Rice, must always depend on the Seafon, and confequently be very precarious. Grain and Flour imported from the United States of America into the Ports of France, in the Year 1789; from an official Statement. |
