south side of the city of Magdeburg, of which it is properly 
a suburb, though governed in all respects as a separate town.

square miles; its population about 156,000. The face of the

with lakes. The climate, though cold, is not intemperate ; 
the air is pure and healthy. The inhabitants raise corn in 
sufficiency for their consumption, and a small quantity for 
export. The pasturage is good, the forests extensive. In the 
mountains, which are almost all of primitive formation, are 
found mines of lead, copper, iron; and from Tunaberg, a 
large quantity of cobalt ore is sent to England, for the use of

sides a number of branches into Bohemia, Moravia, Lusatia, 
and Silesia. These are known by a variety of names, such 
as the mountains of Glatz, the forest of Bohemia, the Isarge- 
birge, the Wohlische Kamme, the Eulengebirge, &c. The 
great mountains are primitive, and abound in metallic ores;

this place is capable of containing 70 men of war, and easily 
defended by batteries which sweep the channel forming the 
only entrance for large ships. It is formed by several small 
islands, of which the principal, called Wargoe, contains the 
arsenal, docks, basins, and magazines for fitting out or re¬ 
pairing men of war. The inhabitants of the place do not 
exceed 3500, but the garrison is generally more numerous, 
and the fortifications are likely, when completed, to stand a 
comparison with Gibraltar. They were begun in 1788, and 
continued by the Swedish government, with more or less 
activity, from that date to 1808, when the place falling into 
the hands of the Russians, they have been farther continued on 
the plan of making this the principal naval station in Fin¬ 
land. The walls are chiefly of granite, covered with earth

height. In 1790, Gustavus III. of Sweden defeated the 
Russians in a naval engagement near this place.
