Its port is the small haven of Sisal, which is in reality nothing but a bleak roadstead, protected by a fort and a sand bank. 2nd: SAN FRANCISCO DE CAMPECHÉ, with a population of about 9,000;--a port which is considered by navigators one of the best in the state, yet is by no means, a secure or comfortable anchorage. 3rd: VALLODOLID, the chief town of the district of that name, with near 4,000 inhabitants. 4th: San Felipé de Bacalar, or Salamanca; a town and military post in the district of that name, containing a garrison and about one hundred and twenty houses. Besides these, there are the villages of Xampolan, Jequetchacan, Lerma, Champoton, between the rivers Campeché and Champoton on the west coast, and Silan, Santa Clara, Vigia del rio and Chaboána, on the north coast. In the interior there are many Indian villages.
