All that has been faid hitherto about the finances relates only
to Sweden, Finland and Pomerania not included: Pomerania is
entirely feparated in the accounts and eftimates, as its expences
are to be defrayed from its own revenues j. but Finland, though
feparated from Sweden- in the yearly eftimates, is, however, fup-
ported by the Swediih revenues, out of which about £.12,500
annually make up the deficiency in the Finland revenues : this
deficiency arifes chiefly from the great expences occafioned by
the fortrefs of Sveaborg, the military, and the gallies. • The
revenues of Finland amount to £.100,000 per annum, and its
expences to £.112,500; to which muft be added the rents of
land configned to pay the militia, governors, &c. which may
amount to between £.25,000 and £.30,000 fterling.

This fum, in cale of neceflity, might be confiderably augmented,
partly by new taxes granted by the ftates, thole now
paid being very moderate ; partly by free gifts from the bank of
Sweden,, out of its annual profits,, which are confiderable, but
cannot be diipofed of without the confent of the ftates. .
The bank of Stockholm owes its origin to Mr. Palmfhut, a
merchant, who carried on a very extenfive trade, and poffeffed
great property in iron mines. He eftabliihed at Stockholm a
bank for the purpofe of exchanging and lending money, divided
into two departments for thoffe different purpofes. As he was
the only banker at that time in the kingdom, his correfpondence
was very extenfive j and his credit was fo well fupported by his
private fund, and the profit of his iron works, that the notes
which he iffued at the intereft of eight per cent, for a term of
ten years and upwards, were circulated through the kingdom,
