ACARNANIA tended to improve its salubrity. The population amounts to about 4000, mostly people of colour. The exports are chiefly silver, indigo, cochineal, Spanish cloth, and some peltry. Formerly, a galleon sailed annually from this port to Manila in the Philippine Islands, and another annually returned from thence, laden with the treasures and luxuries of the East. On the arrival of this galleon a great fair was held, to which merchants resorted from all parts of Mexico. The trade between Acapulco and Manila has been annihilated by the revolution in America; and the town has dwindled into comparative insignificance. Captain Hall found in it only 30 houses, and some reed-huts. In the beginning of December 1852 this town suffered severely from an earthquake.
