Jóurney of che Wacers , and of the way, not tr_u~ing to Advices by word of momh bue to avoid miíl:akes to fend ali by wncmg. .Upon che certainty of rhefe I~formations tbe Spaniards advencured to begin cheir Journey in greacer and leffer Parries untill chey were all deparced out of Chili. In this manner they tra- velled untill 'cbey carne ro T,zcama, where Alm'!gro rec~ived intelligence, that No- guerol de V/loa was nót far diftanr, who was chat perfon whom che Marquis of Pi- wro had employed in a Ship to make difcovery of che Ports which were on that .C:oaíl:, and to proceed as far as Chili, that he might from thence bring him intelli- gence of che proceedings and fucceffes of Almagro, and accordingly fend him re- / cruits and provifions as bis occafions required. Almagro (as we have faid) hearing chat Noguerol de V/loa was near, wrote hi~ a ~ercer, defirin~ to fee him, that he might inform himfelf of all che Tranfaéhons ~n Peru fin~e · h1s departure. In an- fwer whereunco, Nog1mol gave Almagro a meecmg, ac which chey had opponunicy of difcourle cogecher at large ; but·chat they might have more time mutually to relace che fucceífes of both Kiogdorr.s, and not rerard the March of the Army; and chache might alfo oblige Nog11erol , who was very much his friend ; he told him, that he would go aboard his Ship, where he would be his Souldier and Sea- rnan for chree or four Days ; and in che mean time his Army mighc proceed in their March to chac place, where he defigned ro crofs upon them by Sea, and again joyn with chem. Wüh this intention Almagro embarked on che Ship to che gteac contentmem of Noguerol, and baving a good paífage by Sea, he fpeedily over- took his Anny, where we fhall leave him for a whi1e, uncill we have given an account of che general infurreétion of che Indians, who, afcer che departure of Al- magro out of Chili, revolced from che fubie.étion of che Spaniards. In order unto which, \\e mufr cal! to mind, chac fo foon as Almagro was de- p:irted from Couo on bis way co Chili, and che ocher Captains on cheir refpeétive Enterprifes; chac Prince Manco Inca finding che Governour Pifarro at leifure and eafe, moved bim a fecond time co comply wich thofc Capitularions which were agreed bnween che Indians and che Spaniards, and ~\.hich he himfelf had promifed co fee execured and performed, that i , to fee him reftored unto che poífeffion ana enjoymem of his E01pire ; che which he now more earnellly urged, chat fo his people mighc live in peace and quiecnefs, and be encouraged by fuch obliga- tions to affiíl: and ferve che Spaniards. The Governour and his Brothers were much out of coumenance at chis motion, noc knowing whac fublbntial reply to make to chisdemand, nor how ro encertain the inca longer wich vaio hopes and expeétations: Howfoever, not to make him defperate, rhey told him, that though chey were noc unmindfull of che Capicularions, to a performance of \vhicl1.chey had obliged themfelves; yec feveral accidems having lately happened, which had difappoinced as yet che performance of che agreemenc, they could not put tbe fame in execution, umi11 they had received an anfwer ffom th'e Emperour rheir Lord and Maller ; to whom having given incelligence of chefe Capimlati- ons, and that one point of them was his Reílauracion to che Empire, they could not in good manners, and in dury, but attend bis Majeíly's pleafure therein, which they did not doubt but would fpeedily be broughc by Hernando Pir¡arro, ang_prove to che facisfaétion of che Inca, in regard thac a Prince fo jaíl and religious as their En1perour, could not doe lefs than confirm and ratifie that agreernerit; and there- fo re deíired him to have patience untill che Arrival of Hernando, who would clear and remove all che obfüuétioRs which ac prefenc retarded che execution of this agreemenc. In the mean time' intelligence coming of che Arrival of Hernando Pi- cam ac Tumph,, and che Marquis finding hereby a good excufe to leave Cou:o, as he had long defired, that he might avoid the importunicy of the Inca, and vific his new Plancation of los Reyes, which ,he had lately begun, and delired to fee fini- íhed ; he cole! him, thac co expedite che Commands of his Imperial Majeíly in order to his Reílauracion, ic v.:as neceílary for him to meet and receive his Bro- rher Hernando Pir_arro ; and therefore he defired his leave for a fhorc time to make th~ c Journey, affuring him, tbat _his ítay fho~ld n~t be long, b efore he returned a- g.am to perf?rm .and comply w1th che Cap1cula!1o~s agre.ed ; and in che meap (!me , thac bis H1ghnefs would be pleafed to renre m eo bis F orrrefs for his own betce· quiet, and fatisfacl:ion, and fecuricy of rhe Spaniards, and to rernain in chac place untill bis return, where bis Brothers and Companions would accend and ferve him according to their duty and o~ligacion. \
