Transmits the Royal Resolution reforming the penalty for 2nd-time desertion — the old penalty (Art. 2 of the circular of 1 Jul 1778: 6 runs of the gauntlet [*carreras de baquetas*] through 200 men + 6 months' prison in shackles + barracks-cleaning + discharge) proved counterproductive (men courted the baquetas to win discharge); per the Supremo Consejo de la Guerra (23 May), the King substitutes a new penalty — 6 runs of the gauntlet through 200 men + 10 years' presidio service (per Ordenanzas Grales., tratado 8 tít. 7).
