Arrival of O Reilly to Spain and colonial reforms
Reports from Genoa on July 4 describe Lieut. Gen. O Reilly arriving from Louisiana and presenting to the Catholick Majesty an account of his governance. He abolished the provincial council, established a tribunal, regulated justice, boosted trade, reduced officers, and appointed Don Ufaga, winning Indian favor and stabilizing the colony. An envoy from Morocco is expected this week to seek artillery and stores. Hamburgh letters note a PRussian–Danzick reconciliation with unclear terms. Dantzick remains under protection.
