ADMINISTRATION, is also the name given by the
Spaniards in Peru, to the staple magazine, or warehouse,
established at Callao, a small town on the South sea,
which is the port of Lima, the capital of that part of
South America, and particularly of Peru. The foreign
ships which have leave to trade along that coast are
obliged to unload here, paying 13 per cent. of the price
they sell for, if the cargo be entire, and even 16 per
cent. if otherwise; besides which, they pay 3 per 1000,
duty, for consuls and some other small royal rights
and claims.
