A group of royal decrees and orders occurs during the years 1633-3 5, concerning various interests of the Philippines. The Viceroy of Nueva Espana is or dered (september 30, 1633) to see that the seamen needed in the islands be well treated at Acapulco, and allowed to invest some money in the Mexican trade. The governor of the Philippines is warned (march 10, 1634) to see that the lading of vessels in that trade be equitably allotted to the citizens. The Viceroy is directed, at the same time, to send more reenforcements of men to the islands. The moneys granted to the city for its fortifications have been diverted to the general fund; the governor is notified (september 9, 1634) to correct this, and, two months later, to prevent the Portuguese of Macao from trad ing in the islands. Again (february 16, 163 5) he is directed to prevent people from leaving the Philip pines, and religious from going to Japan; and at the same time is despatched a reply to the Audiencia regarding some matters of which they had informed the king. The governor is ordered (november 5, 163 5) to see that the garrisons in Ternate are regu larly changed.
