Your Majesty will take such action as is expedient for your service.
The archbishop of Mexico, [52] while acting as governor of Nueva Espana, sent Captain Francisco Galli to Nueva Espana and the ports, and ordered him to transact other affairs necessary in your Majesty's service, taking particular care to give him secret orders not to go to Macan or the coast of China, because they ought not to waste time in buying merchandise, and on account of other reasonable considerations which influenced him.

Your governor, the president of this Audiencia, hearing that Pedro de Unamuno--who, on account of Captain Galli's death, succeeded to his office, together with a large sum of money which the latter and the officers of the fleet had brought over to invest--was about to go to Macan, hastened to give them orders, under penalty of death, to observe the secret instructions given by the said archbishop, not to go to Macan.

The fiscal appealed from this order, asking that he should not be commanded to make a voyage to Nueva Espana and abandon the discovery.

Notwithstanding the confirmation of the governor's order by this Audiencia, we have learned that he has gone toward that coast of China and the settlement of Macan.

We give your Majesty particulars of this matter, in anticipation of future contingencies.
