ST JAGO, a handsome and considerable town of South America, the capital of Chili, with a good harbour, a bishop's see, and a royal audience. It is seated in a large and beautiful plain, abounding with all the necessaries of life, at the foot of the Cordilleras, on the river Mapocho, which runs across it from east to west. Here are several canals and a dyke, by means of which they water the gardens and cool the streets.—It is very much subject to earthquakes. W. Long. 69. 35. S. Lat. 33. 40.
