Five points of the recent document look to the correction of illegal
acts, and aim at securing the observance of the ordinances and the accomplishment of other things. It is noted that the ordinances permit merchandise to be sent by way of Rio de la Plata, which the Sevilla merchants have violently opposed. The tranquillity of the Indians. Other remedies proposed by the Conde de Monterrey, who states that he will send others, showing the violations of law. This is in his letter of May 25, of this year. The conclusion was, the relationship between the said kingdoms, and the increase of trade. It is readily seen that the increase in the manufacture of wines, and in the production of grains, olives, and other foods, and the maintenance of stock-raising by means of the cultivation of grain--all aim at the same object. It should be noted whether it would be advisable to forbid the coinage of pieces of four and eight, beyond a certain number and quantity--namely, only that necessary to supply the needs there, and for what must be brought here. To make arrangements for the despatch of the fleet. To ascertain whether the bishop of Yucatan was the one who had those contentions with the governor, and of whom the friars are talking. He is proposed for the bishopric of Mechoacan. |
