Headed 'Expedicion.' Reply to Portilla's 7 May: cannot spare more troops — 'si fuese posible estrañar mas tropa de estos puntos, desde luego le franquearia mas ausilio... pero me lo embarazan entre varios motivos su escasedad, y las atencions. qe. nos ecsigen... estos puntos qe. han de estar á cubierto, con la poca qe. hay'. Sends instead 'el refuerzo de 30 hombs. qe. con un violento de Artilla. bien municionado y sus necesars. artillers. ban al mando del Tente. de Infa. Dn. Anto. Valle, pr. Sn. Migl.'; Portilla's column not to advance to Sta. Bárbara 'pr. lo aspero del camino' but to combine with Valle 'pa. entrar á los terrens. ocupados pr. los rebeldes, y obrar en su persecucn.'. Before operating Portilla must receive and publish 'el indulto, qe. he considerado anexo á las circunsts., y espido en favor contumaces' — but if they persist, 'sosteniendo las Armas de la Nacn. qe. los protege, si se obstinaren en reusar, y mal reconocen los benefs. qe. yo en nombre de ella, y de su misma Patria les presento pr. varias manos.' (Chumash-revolt pursuit expedition + pardon).
