or MAGADORE, a large, uniform, and well built town in the kingdom of Morocco, situated about 350 miles from Tangier on the Atlantic ocean, and surrounded on the land side by deep and heavy sands. The European factory here consists of about a dozen mercantile houses of different nations, whose owners, from the protection granted them by the emperor, live in full security from the Moors, whom indeed they keep at a rigid distance. They export, to America, mules; to Europe, Morocco leather, hides, gum arabic, gum sandarac, ostrich feathers, copper, wax, wool, elephant's teeth, fine mats, beautiful carpeting, dates, figs, raisins, olives, almonds, oil, &c. In return, they import timber, artillery of all kinds, gunpowder, woollen cloths, linens, lead, iron in bars, all kinds of hardware and trinkets, such as looking glasses, snuff boxes, watches, small knives, &c., tea, sugar, spices, and most of the useful articles which are not otherwise to be procured in this empire. The town is regularly fortified on the sea Mogul, sea side; and on the land, batteries are so placed as to prevent any incursion from the southern Arabs, who are of a turbulent disposition, and who, from the great wealth which is known to be always in Mogodore, would gladly avail themselves of any opportunity that offered to pillage the town. The entrance, both by sea and land, consists of elegant stone arch-ways, with double gates. The market place is handsomely built, with piazzas of the same materials; and at the water port there is a customhouse and powder magazine, both of which are neat stone buildings. Besides these public edifices, the emperor has a small but handsome palace for his occasional residence. The streets of the town, though very narrow, are all in straight lines; and the houses, contrary to what we meet with in the other towns of the empire, are lofty and regular. The bay, which is little better than a road, and is very much exposed when the wind is at north-west, is formed by a curve in the land, and a small island about a quarter of a mile from the shore.

Its entrance is defended by a fort well furnished with guns.
