TORNEA, a place usually denominated a city, in the northern part of Lapland, now a part of the Russian empire. It is the capital of the province of Lapmark, and stands on a peninsula on the sea-shore, with a harbour nearly choked with sand; but being the only port in the Gulf of Bothnia, whatever commerce is there carried on, centres at Tornea. The chief exports are planks, salted salmon, dried fish, reindeer skins, some tar, and a little butter. The town is composed of about 120 houses, with 750 inhabitants, who among them are owners of two ships of small burden. Long. 24. 1. E. Lat. 65. 50. 50. N.
