 the principal provinces of Germany, derives its name from 

 its fituatiop towards the call : Oojl-ryal, or OJlrrich, figni- 

 fying in German the cajlcrn I'lr.gdom. This name was fof- 

 tened into Aullria by the It.ilian and French enunciation ; 

 and this divifion, which may be confidtrtd as partly belo.ng- 

 ing to ancient Pannonia, arofe after Charlemagne had efta- 

 bhfhed the weilern empire ; being a remnant of the fovc- 

 reignty of what was called Eallern France, eftabli(hed by 

 that conqueror. It was alfo (lyled " Marchia Orientalis,'' 

 the eaftern march, or boundar)- ; and after the failure of the 

 Fi-ancic Une, became a marquifate feudatory to the dukes of 

 Bavaria, till the emperor Frederic Barbaroffa, iu 1 1 j6, con- 

 ftituted it a duchy held immediately of the empire. See

 of the latter is Vienna, bcfides which it contains 35 other 

 cities, and 256 market towns; and that of the former is 

 Lintz, bcfides which it has 13 other cities, and 88 market- 

 towns. The population of this archduchy has been ufually 

 computed at 1,685,000 perfons ; and move lately by Hoeck,
