The journal of this voyage has been p-inted in Spanifli, at the printing-office of the government cf New Spain. It is faid in this work, that the conflan^v of the north and north-weft winds, which predomi- nate to the northward of California almoft uii the year, oppofes great difficulties to all fhips which would run to the north-weft coafts of America. The country to the north of the peninfula of California is, from the fame authority, tolerably fertile, and the natives very tradable. The Spaniards fpent more than a year in find- ing again the port of Monterey, Ithough they ought to have been well acquaints with its po- lition, fmce it had been difcovered, n 1602, by the general Vifcaino, commandant o) a fquadron, which Philip the Third ordered to e fitted out for the difcovery and reconnoitring )f the coafls to the north of California. After ^ -^at fatigues, and long refearches by fea and by land, they fuc- ceeded at length in difcovering it anew in 1770, nearly in the parallel that Vifcaino had pointed out in the relation of his difcoveries. According to the obfervations made by the Spaniards in 1770, the Port of Monterey is fitu- 4 ate.
