Portugal, and periodically relieved.
There is also a local militia, or National Guard, numbering about four hundred (400). The Naval Force consists of a single gun-boat. The annual revenue of the Colony amounts to nearly six hundred thousand (600,000) dollars, equal to about one hundred thousand pounds sterling (£100,000). It is mainly derived from the licenses granted to Gambling-houses, and Lotteries, and from the Salt, Opium, and Fish Market monopolies. The total population of Macao is nearly seventy thousand (70,000); of which number all are Chinese, except some four thousand (4000) Portuguese, of whom only a few hundreds, including the chief Government Functionaries and the Military, are natives of Portugal. The remainder, like the people called "Portuguese" throughout India, China, and the neighbouring countries, are, to a large extent, of mixed race, and show many traces of Hindoo and Chinese blood.
