Philippine products and ordinary fabrics, and 250 half-chests of Chinese fabrics. If this were done, Manila would still have a million pesos of returns, even after deducting all the duties and imposts, which would surely be enough, since before they had maintained themselves with 600,000 pesos annually. As it was, the royal revenue was much impaired, since the duties paid by Manila now did not include certain ad valorem duties imposed under the old arrangement. At the command of the viceroy, the bureau of accounts of Mexico furnished him a summary of all the remittances of money from Nueva España to Manila during the years 1723-31 inclusive; this report showed that in each year more than the amount of the permission had been conveyed--sometimes stated as arrearages from previous shipments, sometimes as allowed by special permit from the viceroy. The yearly situado was stated as being 250,000 pesos, the amount actually sent being such balance of this sum as remained to the credit of Manila in the treasury of Mexico, which varied yearly from 73,000 to 93,000 pesos. The galleon of 1731 had carried the following cargo: 2,767 bales, 477 chests (of Chinese silks), 554 bags of cinnamon, 147 cakes of wax, 51 cases of porcelain, 296 1/2 arrobas of storax, 1,977 1/2 arrobas of pepper; besides this, and outside of the permission, four half-bales and nineteen chests were sent by the religious orders in Manila--Dominicans, Franciscans, Augustinians, and Hospitallers of St. John of God--for the clothing of the religious in their hospices in the City of Mexico; and by the governor, Marqués de Torre-Campo, 45 piezas for (purchasing?) furniture.]
