Marked on the arrival of the yacht Corea, in accordance with the resolution of 10 December ao. passado, for special reasons (mentioned therein)120 had arrested it here and to ship the loaded Indian cargoes, which consisted of a large portion of speck, meat and ice, as well as some cash, onto the first incoming ship, and upon the appearance of the ship Pouleron (which arrived on this voyage on the 17th of the following day and in which they were about to be unloaded) found no place at all for clearing, not only121 to embark the whole of these voluminous goods, but not for a quarter of the said speck and meat, besides some ice. In accordance with the aforementioned resolution, they have altered it in this way, namely to the prescribed yacht Corea, to depart for Batavia with his aforementioned cargo, hoping that another such signal or a hooker (which we anticipate every day) will soon thunder up from the Fatherland, especially since it is still a month too early for the return ships to sail, and the aforementioned ship could not provide us with any special service in the meantime.
Thus done and resolved at the Fort of Good Hope, on the day and year aforesaid.
