The first communication addressed to Raón by Conde de Aranda in
reference to the manner of effecting the expulsion of the Jesuits was
sent to him through the viceroy of Méjico, in order that the latter
might despatch the letter from Acapulco. Lest this should go astray
or be delayed, a second copy was sent to him by way of Cádiz and the
French ships of their Company of the Eastern Indias, its bearer being
an official appointed for this purpose, under the pretext that he was
going there to discipline the troops. In this latter communication (on
the same date of March 1), Conde de Aranda added these words to Raón:
"I think that when this reaches you the very reverend archbishop will
have already arrived in Manila, as he sailed from Cádiz a month ago
in a Swedish ship. If that is the case, your Lordship can inform him
confidentially of this despatch; and you can count on his illustrious
Lordship in whatever your Lordship may deem necessary, in his opinion
or his aid. For his Majesty esteems him, and I know him intimately;
and I am certain that he will coöperate with whatever measures may
conduce to the success of this enterprise, and to the greater service
of the king." In another and third despatch was repeated what had
been previously explained to Raón, informing him that the bearer of
the second despatch was his Majesty's courier Pedro Santillac--who was
to embark in Holanda, in order to go to Batavia, and thence to Manila,
chartering a vessel, if there was none available, for this object.
