The above account exhibits the total revenue and charges of
the government of St. Paul de Loanda in each year, from 1844-
45 to 1848-49, both included. The above three tables are
copied from the appendix to a dispatch sent by Mr. Gabriel to
Viscount Palmerston, dated the 5th of August, 1850, and, among
other facts of interest, show a very satisfactory diminution

The returns from 1818 to 1844 have been obtained from
different sources as the average revenue; those from 1844 to
1849 are from the Custom-house records.
