RAGUSA, a city of Dalmatia, and capital of Ragusan. It is about two miles in circumference, and is pretty well built. It is strong by situation, having an inaccessible mountain on the land-side, and on the side of the sea a strong fort. It has an archbishop's see and a republic; and has a doge like that of Venice, but he continues only a month in office. It carries on a considerable trade with the Turks. E. Long. 18. 25. N.
