132 A VOYAGE TO Boor YII. 



The Qimneries are tbose of St. Clare, St. Catherine, 

 the barefooted Carmelites, and a Nazarene sister- 

 hood. 



The government of this city consists of a corre- 

 gidor, placed at the head of the magistrates, who 

 are the chief uobiiity, and out of these are annually- 

 chosen two ordinary alcaldes, according to the cus- 

 tom of all the cities in South America. The mem- 

 bers of the catliedral chapter besides the bishop, are 

 five dignitaries, namely, the dean, archdeacon, chant- 

 er, rector and treasurer ; two canons by competition, 

 a magistral, and penitentiary ; three canons by pre- 

 sentation, and two prebendaries. Here are three 

 colleges ; in the first, called St. Anthony, a seminary 

 for the service of the cathedral, are taught Latin, 

 the sciences and divinity. The" second is under the 

 direction of the Jesuiis, where these fathers instruct 

 voutlis of fortune. The third, called St. Francis de 

 Borja, belongs also to the Jesuits, and is appointed 

 for the education of the sons of caziques, or Indian 

 princes. The two former confer all degrees below 

 that of doctor, and have been erected into univer- 

 sities. 



Amono the courts of justice, is one for the reve- 

 nue, consisting of two judges. Here is also a court 

 of inquisition, and of tlje croisade; tOg'ether with the 

 tóame offices as in the other large cities already de- 

 iicribed. Formerly this city svas very full of Spa- 

 niards, and among them many noble families ; but 

 at present its iidiabitants are very much declined.
