ANGELO, INItennEt., See BONAROTTI. ANGELOS, LA I'UEBLA DE LOS, a town of Mexi co, and capital of the province of Tlascala, situated in a fine valley on the river Zacatula, about 65 miles south east of Mexico. • This city is next to Mexico in popula tion, and is one of the finest towns in South America. The buildings, which are chiefly of stone, are suniptu ous and elegant, and the streets broad and regular. The spacious square in the centre of the city, is reckoned su perior even to that of Mexico. It is adorned on three sides with uniform porticoes, and on the fourth with a. magnificent cathedral. Besides many splendid churches, there are two colleges, several convents, and twelve nun neries. The annual revenue of the cathedral and chap ter, amounts to no less than 300,000 pieces of eight. This town is remarkable for several manufactories of soap, hats, glass, cotton-cloths, fine earthen ware, and swords and bayonets, which are celebrated for their temper and beauty. A great deal of cotton is sold in
the markets by the Indians. The greatest source of the prosperity of this town is the money which it coins, being no less than one half of the silver that conies from the mines of Zacatecas, the other half being coined at Mexi co. This city likewise derives considerable advantages from its situation, as all the Mexicans pass through its territory to purchase the European merchandise which arrives at Vera Cruz ; and frequently purchase there what is furnished by the fleet, or what is sold at too high a price.
The air is uncommonly dry and mild, and clikases are comparatively rare. The land is fertile, producing su gar-cane, and all sorts of grain. Population 60,000. NV. Long. 99° 40'. N. Lat. 19° 35' S e TLASC ALA. (o-)
