SATGONG, the ancient royal port of Bengal, known to 
the Romans by the title of Ganges Iieggia, said to have 
been a celebrated place of worship, and formerly the residence 
of the kings of the country. The district belonging to it 
contained 700 square miles. Unfortunately we have no 
account of it under the Hindoo government, but it is thus 
mentioned in De Barro’s Portuguese History, supposed to 
have been written about the year 1530 :—“ The other river 
falls into the western branch of the Ganges, a little below 
another city called Satigong, as great and noble as Chatigong, 
but less frequented, because its port is not so convenient for 
the entry and departure of shipping.” It is first spoken of 
by the Mahometan historians we have had access to, in the 
year 1592, when it was plundered by a detachment of 
Afghans. Soon after that period it became eclipsed by 
Hoogly, and after the taking of that town by the Moguls in 
1632, the public officers were withdrawn from Satgong, and 
stationed at the latter, which was then constituted the royal 
port. The river Dummooda is supposed formerly to have 
fallen into the Bhagurutty above Satgong; and it is also 
conjectured that there was a communication by water between 
that town and Tumbok. Satgong is now reduced to a mere 
village, although many of the ruins yet exist. It stands two 
or three miles from the river side, and four from Hoogly.

SATHMAR, a county of Hungary, lying adjacent to the 
north of Transylvania, on both sides of the river Szamos. 
Its territorial extent is 2250 square miles; its population 
187,000. Many tracks are of a sandy soil; others are 
strewed with soda, or covered with marshes, one of which, 
the marsh of Etsed, is 28 miles in length ; yet this county 
produces, on the whole, a considerable quantity of wheat 
and maize; also of wine. Particular districts contain mines 
of salt; others of metals. The chief town is Negy-Caroly, 
and count Caroly is hereditary palatine or governor of the 
county. 
SATHMAR, or Sathmar Nemethi, a considerable town 
of Hungary, in the palatinate of the same name, situated on 
the Szamos. It consists of two parts, Sathmar and Nemethi, 
which stand on the two sides of the river, and previous to 
1715 formed two distinct towns. The inhabitants, in number 
above 10,000, carry on an active trade, and cultivate a large 
quantity of wine. In the neighbourhood are salt mines; 
and in the town there is one of the principal government 
offices for its disposal. Sathmar is a bishop’s see, erected in 
1806, and has a Catholic seminary and gymnasium, together 
with one Greek and two Calvinist churches. This town has 
been frequently besieged in the different wars of which 
Hungary was the theatre, during the 14th, 16th, and 17th 
centuries. In 1646, the Protestants held here a national 
council, and in 1711, Sathmar was the scene of the 
negociations which terminated the rebellion headed by 
Rakotzi; 255 miles east of Presburg. Lat. 47. 46. 30. N.

To SA'TIATE, v. a. [satio, Lat.] To satisfy ; to fill.— 
Those smells are the most grateful where the degree of heat

To saturate; to impregnate with as much as can be contained

SATIATION, s. The state of being filled.—This term 
Quantity offereth me a discourse with Lessius, which seemeth 
to prefer a quantity ad pondus of diet, as most conducing 
to the preservation of health and extension of life, as if 
satiation were the usher of diseases and mortality, as a 
corruptive cause, which I cannot conceive reasonable. 
Whitaker.

It was taken about fifty years afterwards by the rajah of 
Mysore, and of course became the property of Hyder Aly.

satire is distinguished, by the generality of the reflections, 
from a lampoon which is aimed against a particular person; 
but they are too frequently confounded: it has on before the 
subject. 
He dares to sing thy praises in a clime 
Where vice triumphs, and virtue is a crime; 
Where ev’n to draw the picture of thy mind. 
Is satyr on the most of human kind. Dry den. 
Critics have not agreed concerning the origin of satire. 
It seems at first, says Dr. Blair, to have been a relic of the 
ancient comedy, written partly in prose, partly in verse, and 
abounding
