Tho' the Infide is not divided into Quarters of the ufual 

 Dimenfions of xhz Quadra, or common Square ufed in o- 

 ther Towns, the Streets are all in a Line,- butfo trouble- 

 fome for Duft, as is not tolerable but in a Village. 



On the Edge of the Sea, is the Governor's Houfe, and 

 the Viceroy's Palace, which take up two Sides of a Square, 

 the f Pari{h Church making the third, and a Battery of three 

 Pieces of Gannon the fourth. The Corps de Garde, and 

 the Hall for the Arms are alfo by the Viceroy's Lodgings; 

 In the fame Street, on the North-fide, are the Ware-houfes 

 for the Commodities the Spanijh Ships bring from Chili, 

 jPm/and Mexico. 



From Chili, they bring Cordage, Leather, Tallow, dry'd 

 Fkfli, and Corn ; from Chiloe, Cedar Planks, a very light 

 Wood, before fpoken of, Woollen Manufactures, and 

 particularly Carpets, like thofe of Turky, to fpreadon the 

 Eftrador, or Places where the Women fit on Cufliions. 



From Peru, Sugars of Andaguaylas, Guayaquil and other 

 Places; Wines and Brandy from Lanafco and Pifco; Mafts, 

 Cordage, Timber for Shipping, Cacao of Guayaquil and the 

 Country about, Tabacco, and fome little Honey of Sugar. 

 The Cacao is afterwards tranfported to Mexico. 



From Mexico, as from Sorifonate, Realejo and Guate- 

 mala, Pitch and Tar, which is only fit for Wood, becaufe 

 it burns the Cordage, Woods for dying, Sulphur, and 

 Balfam, which bears the Name of Balfam of Peru > but 

 which in reality comes moft from Guatemala. There are 

 two forts of it, White and Brown ; the latter is moft va- 

 lued, and they put it into Coco Shells, when it is of the 

 Conliftence of Tar; but generally it comes in Earthen 

 Pots liquid, and then it is liable to be falfify'd and mix'd 

 with Oil to increafe the Quantity. From the fame Places 

 they bring fine Works, which they call of Caray, and Com- 

 modities of China, by the way of Acapulco, tho' contraband, 



Befides thefe Warehoufes, there is another for laying up 

 ef the European Commodities, which they call laAdmintftra-
