COIMBATORE, a town of Hindustan, and capital of the province of the same name, is situated on the left bank of the river Noyel, a feeder of the Cauvery. The streets are wide, airy, and neatly built. This city, as well as the whole province, suffered severely in the wars which took place between the sovereigns of Mysore and the British. Since its permanent occupation by the latter, the city has recovered considerably, and contains 2000 houses, which is about half the number it possessed under Hyder's government. It has a mosque, built by Tippoo, who occasionally made Coimbatore the place of his residence. The elevation of the town above the sea is 1483 feet. Distance south from Seringapatam 100 miles. Lat. 11., Long. 77. 1.
