thes are pret^* handfome, after the Spamflj 

 make. /The Town lies open to the Coun- 

 try; without either Wall or Works 5 and at 

 the Eaft-fide of it, where the Road to Pana- 

 ma goes out (becaufe of Hills that lie to the j 

 Southward of the Town, and obftrudfc the 

 dired Paffage) there lies a long r Stable run- 

 ning North and South from the Town tp 

 which it joins. This is the Kings Stable The k> 

 for the Mules that are imployed in the Road Scable - 

 betwixt this and Panama. The Governours The Go- 

 Houfe is clofeby the great Fort, on the ^ ime ^S url 

 Rifing, at the Weft of the Town. Between i0U e ° 

 the Parade in the middle of the Town, and 

 the Governours Houfe, is a little 'Creek or 

 Brook, with a Bridge over it $ and at the 

 Eaft-end, by the Stable, is a fmall Rivulet Rivulet 

 of frefh Water. I have already faid that it? ad 

 is an unhealthy Place. The Eaft-fide is low 

 and fwampy : and the Sea at low Water 

 leaves the Shore within the Harbour bare, 

 a great way from the Houfes 5 which having 

 a black "filthy Mud, it ft inks very much, and 

 breeds noifome Vapours , through the Heat 

 of the Climate. From the South and the 

 Eaft-fides thq Country rifes gently in Hills, 

 which are partly Woodland and partly Sa- 

 vannah . 5 but there is no great Store either 

 6f Fruit-trees or Plantations near the Town* 

 This account I have had from feveral Priva- 

 teers }u$ as they return d from Portobcl j but 

 I have not been there my felf.
