BL 1029. d. 17. BN ZB-719. Sabin 98780. LC 972 (382) V431nY 1702. En la pág. 268 describe las regulaciones para Venezuela. 18. It was order’d that the Ships, which fail’d with the Firm Land Fleet for the Province of Venezuela, commonly call’d Caracas, should pay but two and a half in the hundred Custom, and the fame was granted to those that Traded to the Province of Cumana. The ships of Venezuela are permitted to touch at the Windward Islands, so they carry no Gold, Plate, or Pearls. Hitherto we have spoke of the Islands and Ports on the Coast, mention’d in the Abridgment of the Laws under that head, that treats of these Affairs: But the Orders of the Year 1642, speak of other Ports, saying that the Licenses for Havana, Campeche, Honduras, Gibraltar, and La Guira, he granted after the rate of two Ducats a Tun: Those for Margarita, Cumana, New Cordova, Rio de la Hacha, and Santa Marta, at a Ducat and a halft: Those for Santo Domingo and Puerto Rico, at a Ducat; and those for the Island of the Trinity, Orinoco, and Cuba, gratis; but of late Years, I have seen no Licenses taken out for some of these Places, as Rio de la Hacha, Santa Marta, Orinoco and New Cordova.
