a city of France, the capital of the county of Armagnac, and the metropolis of all Gascony. The archbishop assumes the title of primate of Aquitain. It lies on the summit and declivity of a very steep hill, which is surrounded by other hills that rise at a small distance; and through the vale below runs a rivulet, called the Gers. The inhabitants are about 6000; the buildings are modern and elegant; the streets, though in general narrow, yet are clean and well Auction. well paved. In the centre of the city stands the cathedral, which is one of the most magnificent in France, both as to its construction and the internal decorations. The painted windows are only inferior to those of Gouda in Holland. The chapels are of equal beauty, and ornamented at a prodigious expense. The revenues of the see of Auch amount annually to three hundred thousand livres. The palace is a very handsome building; and its apartments are furnished with a voluptuous splendor, rather becoming a temporal than a spiritual prince. E. Long. o. 40. N. Lat. 43. 40.
