The area on which this city stands is about a square mile, raised above the level of the nearly surrounding ocean, from nine to forty-seven feet. ... The population in 1813, when the last epidemic prevailed, was computed at 70, 000 souls. ... On making it from the Westward, the city seems to rise majestically from the ocean, the nearest high land being the Sierras of Xeres and Honda, distant fifteen leagues.
