or Burgundy, as we call it; a considerable province of France with the title of a duchy. It is 130 miles in length, and 75 in breadth. It is bounded on the east, by the Franche Compte; on the west, by Bourbonnois and Nivernois; on the south, by Lyonnais; and on the north, by Champagne. It is very fertile in corn and fruit, and produces excellent wine. It is watered by the rivers Seine, Dheune, Bienne, Armançon, Ouche, Souzon, Tille, and Saone. There are four mineral springs at Apeigny, Premceau, Bourbon-Lancy, and St Reine. The hills are obscure, and the two last in high reputation. In the canton of Brelle, there are two subterranean lakes which often overflow in times of the greatest drought, and lay a large tract of ground under water: one of them has no apparent spring or opening; and yet in a dry season, it throws out water enough to overflow the meadow-land near it. The grottos or caves of Arcy are seated about 18 miles from Auxerre, and over them is soil about 10 feet deep. The entrance into these cavities is 200 paces long, but narrow. There are arches which form several vaults, from whence drop clear water, which turns into a brilliant hard stone. Twenty paces from the entrance in a lake, which seems to be formed by that part of the water that will not petrify. The highest of these vaults is not above eight feet. About 80 paces from from the entrance there is a kind of hall, with a coffee- coloured ceiling, wherein there are a thousand odd fi- gures, which have a very agreeable effect. Dijon is the capital town.
