"M. Gardoqui who replaced M. de Lerena ad interim, has been definitively appointed minister of finances. The King has reserved to himself the nomination of the governor of the council of finances, and that of the superintendent general of the revenue. These posts were formerly held by the same person.
"Count d'Aranda has withdrawn the Royal edict of the 20th of July, requiring an oath from strangers. This edict, though explained and frequently commented upon by its author, M. de Florida Blanca, still contained very great inconveniences, served as a pretext for vexations of every kind, and greatly checked the freedom of trade.
"The place of councillor of the Council of War, vacant by the death of M. d'Heredia, has been conferred on Don Michael d'Ottamendi, who presides at the head of the office for Foreign Affairs, and will be succeeded by Don Dominique d'Yriarte, Secretary to the Embassy at Paris."
