CAMPECHE, or CAMPECHE DE BARANDA, a fortified city and port of Mexico,
and capital of a state of the same name, situated on the Bay of
Campeche, 825 m. E. of the city of Mexico and 90 m. S.W. of Merida, in
lat. 20 deg. 5' N., long. 90 deg. 16' W. Pop. (1900) 17,109. Campeche
was one of the three open ports of this coast under the Spanish regime,
and its walls, general plan, fine public edifices, shady squares and
comfortable stone residences are evidence of the wealth it once
possessed. It is still one of the most attractive towns on the Gulf
coast of Mexico. It had a monopoly of the Yucatan trade and enjoyed
large profits from its logwood exports, both of which have been largely
lost. It was formerly the principal port for the state and for a part of
Yucatan, but the port of Carmen at the entrance to Laguna de Terminos is
now the chief shipping port for logwood and other forest products, and a
considerable part of the trade of Campeche has been transferred to
Progreso, the port of Merida. The port of Campeche is a shallow
roadstead defended by three forts and protected by a stone pier or wharf
160 ft. long, but vessels drawing more than 9 ft. are compelled to lie
outside and discharge cargo into lighters. The exports include logwood,
cotton, hides, wax, tobacco, salt and cigars of local manufacture. The
principal public buildings are the old citadel, some old churches, the
town hall, a handsome theatre, hospital and market. The streets are
traversed by tramways, and a railway runs north-eastward to Merida.
Campeche stands on the site of an old native town, of which there are
interesting remains in the vicinity, and which was first visited by
Hernandez de Cordoba in 1517. The Spanish town was founded in 1540, and
was sacked by the British in 1659 and by buccaneers in 1678 and 1685.
During the revolution of 1842 Campeche was the scene of many engagements
between the Mexicans and people of Yucatan.

CAMPEGGIO, LORENZO (1464-1539), Italian cardinal, was born at Milan of a
noble Bolognese family. At first he followed a legal career at Pavia and
Bologna, and when in 1499 he took his doctorate he was esteemed the most
learned canonist in Europe. In 1500 he married Francesca de'
Gualtavillani, by whom he had five children, one of whom, Allessandro,
