Scope and Contents
Concerned about the invasions of the intern provinces of the East, Viceroy Bernardo de Galvez issues a set of regulations requiring the intern provinces under the jurisdiction of Juan de Ugalde and Jacobo Ugarte to strictly adhere to them. The articles specify an account of all affairs and news concerning the provinces, the costs and extractions that are made, the observance of all territories and their frontiers, and the killing of any Indigenous person as a crime against the Spanish crown. The document concludes with a joint party of signatures from past and current governors and colonels who have managed the internal provinces of the East and West and who collectively agree to obey all of the regulations ordered by the King and of Spain.
