11° 56', It is 908 miles long, from Pittsburg to its mouth, including its numerous meander- ings; although it is but 614 miles in a direct line across the country. It varies in breadth, from 400 to 1,400 yards. At Cincinnati, it is about 800 yards* which may be regard- ed as the mean breadth. This is an excellent river for in- land navigation. But its windings are so numerous and ex- tensive, that a passage upon it is rendered rather tedious. Its current is very gentle, and no where broken by a...nv considerable falls, excepting at Louisville in Kentucky, where the waters run with great rapidity for several miles; yet the current is not thereby so broken, but that boats have in numerous instances ascended them. The whole perpendicular descent, in two miles, is found to be 22 V feet. A canal has been commenced around these falls, which will tend vastly to the improvement and utility of this noble river. Le Tart's rapids, however, 25 miles be - low Shade river, form a slight obstruction to its navigation in some stages of the water.
