is the most western province of Spain, having Estremadura and La Mancha on the north; the kingdom of Granada, the straits of Gibraltar, and the Ocean, on the east and south; and, on the west, the kingdom of Algarva in Portugal, from which it is separated by the river Guadiana. It is about 182 miles long, and 150 broad. The chief cities and towns are Seville the capital, Baeza, Gibraltar, Corduba, Cadiz, Medina Sidonia, Jaen, Port St Mary, &c. It is the best, most fruitful, and the richest part of all Spain. There is a good air, a serene sky, a fertile soil, and a great extent on the sea-coast fit for commerce.

New Andalusia, a division of the province of Terra Firma in South America, whose boundaries cannot be well ascertained, as the Spaniards pretend a right to countries in which they have never established any settlements. According to the most reasonable limits, it extends in length 500 miles from north to south, and about 270 in breadth from east to west. The interior country is woody and mountainous, variegated with fine valleys that yield corn and pasturage. The produce of the country consists chiefly in dying-drugs, gums, medicinal roots, brazil wood, sugar, tobacco, and some valuable timber. To this province also belonged five valuable pearl-fisheries. The capital of New Andalusia is Comana, Cumana, or New Corduba, situated in N. Lat. 9°. 55', about nine miles from the north sea. Here the Spaniards laid the foundation of a town in the year 1520. The place is strong by nature, and fortified by a castle capable of making a vigorous defense; as appeared in the year 1670, when it was assaulted by the buccaneers, who were repulsed with very great slaughter.

Andaman or Andeman Islands, in the East Indies, situated about 80 leagues distance from Tanafir on the coast of Siam. They are but little known; only the East India ships sometimes touch at them, and are supplied by the natives with rice, herbs, and fruits: the inhabitants are by some represented as an harmless inoffensive race of men, and by others as cannibals. E. Long. 92°. O. N. Lat. from 10°. to 15°.
