ANDORRA. land makes the republic partly depend upon France for its grain. The chief industry is the production of coarse cloth, and the exports consist of wood, metal ores, cloth, and some dairy products.

Andorra was declared an independent btate by Charlemagne, in reward for services rendered to him by its inhabitants when he was marching against the Moors. In 1278 Andorra was transferred to the Comte de Foix and the Bishop of Urgel, and was administered by two vigmers appointed by them. During the French Revolution the relations between Andorra and France were interrupted on account of the latter's refusal to accept the annual tribute, which was considered incompatible with a republican form of government. In 1806, however, the former relations were renewed, and the free importation of cereals from France was allowed in considera- tion of an annual tribute of 960 francs. The Republic is governed by a sovereign council of twenty-four members, chosen for a period of four years' by the heads of the communities. The council is presided over by two syndics, both chosen by the members of the council, one for life and the other for a term of four years. There are two judges called figuicrs, of whom the first, a French subject, is appointed by France, and the second, a native, by the Bishop of Urgel. There is also a civil judge, appointed by France and the Bishop of Urgel alternately. Under each viguicr is an inferior judge called a lailie; there "is an appeal from his judgment to the civil judge, and finally to the Court of Cassation at Paris, or to the episcopal college at Urgel. In criminal cases there is no appeal from the Court of the Republic itself, in which the first vif/uier presides. The revenue of the State is derived from lands and from some inconsid- erable taxes. The Bishop sf Urgel receives from the Republic an annual sum of 460 francs. The manner of life of the Andorrans is very simple. There are schools, but education is in a low state. Every able-bodied citizen of the Republic is liable to military service between the ages of sixteen and sixty. In the Carlist wars the neu- trality of Andorra was strictly respected, though various complications resulted from its connec- tion with the Bishop of Urgel. The capital, Andorra, is situated in the mountains, and has a population of about 1000. The population of the Republic is estimated at 6000.
