The disposal of the revenues will then stand as follows: Total amount of the revenue - £. 66,000,000 Civil establishment - £. 1,973,333 Military ditto - 49,982,933 __________ 51,956,266 __________ Surplus, being for the Emperor's establishment £. 14,043,734 which accords pretty nearly with the sum said to be remitted to Pekin in the year 1792.
