SATALDERE, a river of Anatolia, which falls into the

SAT ALIA, Antalia, or, according to Captain Beaufort, 
more properly Adalia, a city of Caramania, in Asia Minor, 
situated at the head of a gulf to which it gives name. The 
place is beautifully situated round a small harbour; the 
streets appear to rise behind each other, like the seats of a 
theatre; and on the level summit of the hill the city is in¬ 
closed by a ditch, a double wall, and a series of square 
towers, about 50 yards asunder. In an opening, now closed 
up, between two of the towers, appear the remains of a 
splendid gateway, exhibiting 14 columns, the upper parts of 
which are of the Corinthian order. The inside walls and 
towers appear to have been substantially and well built. 
The port is inclosed by two stone piers, which once had 
towers on the extremities; but they are now in a ruinous 
state, and the inroads of the sea unite with the neglect of 
their present possessors, to insure their destruction. The 
gardens round the.town are beautiful, the trees loaded with 
fruit, and the corn grounds more than commonly produc¬ 
tive. The soil is deep, and everywhere intersected by streams 
loaded with calcareous matter, which, after fertilizing the 
plain, fall over the cliffs, or turn the corn mills in their de¬ 
scent to Ihe sea. Alternate breezes from the sea and the 
chain of Mount Taurus, refresh the air in a remarkable man¬ 
ner. The population probably does not exceed 8000, two- 
thirds of which are understood to be Mahometan, and the 
other third Greek. It is supposed to be on the site of the 
ancient Olbia. Lat. 36. 50. N. long. 30. 45. E.

junction of three qualities; indefatigable diligence, profound 
subtilty, and inhuman cruelty. Trapp.

SATAPA, a town on the south-east coast of the island of

SATARAH, a celebrated town and fortress of Hindostan, 
province of Bejapore. It is built upon a rock, on the west¬ 
ernmost point of a range of hills, and has only a very nar¬ 
row passage up to it, admitting but a single person at a time; 
nevertheless it capitulated, after a very short resistance, to the 
British, in February, 1818. It was afterwards surveyed by 
some of their officers, who declared that 200 men might 
defend it against any force. This fortress was taken from 
the king of Bejapore, by the Mahratta chief Sevajee, in 1673, 
and was captured by Aurungzebe in 1690, but was retaken 
soon after the death of that monarch in 1707, and may now 
be considered as the capital of the Mahratta state. This 
place owes its celebrity principally to its having been for a 
long period the residence or state prison of the Maha rajah. 
or legitimate sovereign of the Mahrattas. He was confined 
about the middle of the last century by the peishwa, who 
usurped the government, but still inserting the name of the 
rajah iu all public records. This practice, with some other 
forms and ceremonies, was observed to and by the successors 
of each party, till the late war, when the peishwa compelled 
the rajah to accompany him to his camp. This circumstance 
fortunately enabled the British troops to rescue him on the 
21st of February, 1818. He was then conveyed to Poona, 
and after having been declared the sovereign of the Mahrattas, 
was sent back in great state to his residence at Satarah. The 
present rajah is about 30 years of age ; he is of mild manners, 
but his education has been very much neglected. His father 
was only a captain of cavalry, but being of the blood royal, 
he was seated on the throne by the late peishwa. His mother 
and two brothers were taken with him, and were present at 
the ceremony of installation. This is one of the most 
striking events in the political history of Hindostan, since 
the downfall of Tippoo Sultan ; but no accurate information 
has yet been received of the division of the Mahratta territory, 
the greater part of which, it may be observed, was gained by 
conquests on their part; and but a small proportion of the 
inhabitants are of that denomination, or by any means 
friendly to their government, which was that of oppression 
and extortion. Satarah, spelt also Sattara, stands a few 
miles north of the river Kistnah, in Lat. 17. 50. N. long. 74.

SATELLITE, s. [saielles, Lat. satellite, French. This

the plural, as in the singular, and is therefore only of three

form, and assigned it four; I think, improperly. Johnson.']
