Apaches or compel them to make peace, which is now being
sought. On this matter a dispatch was sent on the twenty-first
of April, this year, to the governor of Texas in which Y [our]
Ex[cellenc]y was pleased to order him everything that seemed
to be advisable on this matter, according to the opinion of the
auditor, which opinion was to the effect that Y [our] Ex [cel-
lenc]y should also contribute to the expenses of those dis-
charged soldiers who might remain in that villa, and that the
governor, after consulting with the captain, who is so familiar
with that country, especially the district of La Paz, during any
time deemed opportune, may carry it out with all solemnities
contained therein; and that, to this end, one dispatch should
be sent to the governor and one to the captain of La Bahia for
these detachments, with Y [our] Ex[cellenc]y giving orders
to the royal officers for the payment of soldiers who may be
detached and transferred to serve at the presidio of San An-
tonio, in the manner in which they are to carry it out in order
that they may be paid there. And, in order that the governor
and the captain of La Bahia, and the [captain] of San Antonio,
may be apprised thereof, they should be so informed in the
aforesaid dispatches; or, whatever Y[our] Ex [cellenc]y may
deem most advisable [may be done]. Mexico City, July eight-
een, seventeen thirty-three.
