There were no Britifh merchants ; and in the imports there were 

 very few Britifh goods. There were three French houies, branches of 

 houfes at MarfeiUe. 



The conful at Coruna reported, that fince the lafl war no Britifh 

 merchants had fettled there ; and that the removal of the Euglifli 

 packets from that place had thrown fuch difficulties in the way of mak- 

 ing remittances, that the neighbouring country was now moflly fup- 

 plied with French nianufadures, to the great regret of the natives, who 

 all prefer Englifli goods. The Britifh veffels arriving in his depart- 

 ment were only about 14 annually with cod from Newfoundland, 3 or 

 4 with faked provifions fi-om Ireland, and a few with corn, coals, &c. 

 from other ports. 



In a fubfequent report he more particularly flatcs, that from 25^* 

 December 1767 to 24"'' June 1768 only 7 Britifli veflels from New- 

 foundland, London, Cork, and Virginia, had arrived in the provinces 

 of Galicia and Aflurias, mofl of which had only landed fmall parcels of 

 goods there. During the fame time 1 1 French and 5 Dutch veffels 

 delivered their full cargoes in the fame diftricft, the Dutch having in- 

 creafed fince the packets to the Havana and Buenos Ayres were flation- 

 ed at Coruna, while the Englifh remained the fame as before. 



The Britifh conful and merchants at Cadiz complained of the hard- 

 fjjips put upon them by feveral infringements of the treaties, and par- 

 ticularly by xhe pojltira, an order of the magiflrates for fixing the prices 

 of provifions, whereby they apprehended the tr.ide from Ireland and 

 Newfoundland to that port mull be ruined. They, and tlie conful at 

 St. Lucar alfo complained of a proclamation prohibiting the importa- 

 tion of all printed and painted cloths and handkerciiiefs, the demand 

 for which in the Spanifii colonies ui'ed to be very confiderable. They 

 ullo complained of the exactions of the health-office, of the indignities
