at. of 46. 21. and 47. 6. N. and 12. 30. to 14. 50.
of E. long comprising an area of about 3,500 Eng-
lish sq miles; the west end borders on the Tyrol,
and it is bounded on the north by the bishopric of

Saltzburg and Upper Styria, east by Lower Styria
and south by Upper Carniola, and the Venetian
territory. The river Drave, which rises in the
Tyrol and falls into the Danube at Belgrade, in-
tersects Qarinthia its whole extent from W. to E.
receiving .several tributary streams, both from the
north and south ; there are also several lakes. It
is a mountainous and woody district, the moun-
tains, yielding abundance of iron, lead, and cop-
per, as well as quicksilver, bismuth, and zinc, and
also the purest marbles, and a variety of gems;
whilst the forests abound with the finest timber,
the valleys afford some excellent pasturage, as well
as fertile lands for tillage; but being edged in by
mountains both on the north and south, whilst the
remoteness of the course of the Drave precludes
it from being availed of as a channel of convey-
ance, the rich store of natural products which this
district contains are of little advantage either to
the inhabitants or to the world. Could a water
communication be obtained with the Adriatic,
which, by a social and reciprocal order of society,
might be effected from the west end of the pro-
vince, either by the Tajamento, or the Piave;
Carinthia might then rank among the most inter-
esting and important districts of Europe; but un-
der the bigoted, blind, and unsocializing policy of
Austria, the inhabitants pass away their time in
indolence and apathy, such supply of foreign pro-
ductions as they get being obtained chiefly by
means of cattle, which they drive to the markets
of the towns of Italy. It is divided for local juris-
diction into two parts, Upper, West; and Lower,
East; the former containing about 175,000 inhab-
itants, and the latter about 105,000. The princi-
pal towns in the upper part are Gmund and Vil-
lach, and in tie lower, Clagenfurt, (which is the
capital of the duchy) Wolfs berg, Wolfe nmarck,
Pleyburg, &c. The inhabitants, who speak chiefly
the Sclavonian language, are bigoted adherents to
the mummeries of the Romish church, and con-
tribute to the Austrian government an impost of
about xc2xa3250,000 English per annum.
