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
in the duties upon slaves.
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.
