The discrepancies between some of the figures in these returns and those
cited by Senor Marliani, arise probably from their respective reference
to different years; they are, however, unimportant. We have already
shown, that, deducting the re-exports of cottons to Ceuta and the coast
of Africa opposite to Gibraltar, the value of those destined for Spain,
by way of the Rock; in 1840, could not exceed

L.565,800
We shall assume that _one-fourth_ only of the cottons exported
to Portugal find their way fraudulently into Spain--say 176,290
Say re-exports of cottons from Genoa to Gibraltar, assumed to
be for Spain, as per official return of that port for 1839, 31,400
Cotton goods direct to Spain from the United Kingdom, 11,150
---------
Total value of British cottons which could find their way into
Spain, direct and indirect, in 1840, L.784,640
----------
Instead of the amount exaggerated of Senor Marliani, L.1,663,268
Or the large excess in estimation, of 898,628

We have the official returns of the whole imports of cotton
manufactures, with the exports, of the Sardinian States for 1840, now
lying before us.

The imports were to the value of only L.443,360
Of which from the United Kingdom 242,680
Exported, or re-exported, 458,680
