an arrondissement of the department of the Corrèze, in France, which extends over 9991 square miles, and is divided into twelve cantons and 117 communes, with 129,799 inhabitants in 1836. The capital is the city of the same name, situated at the junction of the river Solane with the Corrèze. It is also the capital of the department. It was once more celebrated for its manufactures than it is at present; but some woollens are still made, and some thread lace. Close to the city is an establishment for making muskets and other arms. In 1836, the town and suburbs contained 9700 inhabitants. Long. 1. 37. E. Lat. 45. 16. N.
