El documento que se transcribe es la representación de Felipe Vergara Azcárate y Caicedo, jurisconsulto santafereño y fiscal de Cartagena de Indias para el año 1786, a la gobernación de dicha plaza para solicitar la suspensión de la Matrícula de Mar o para la creación de un nuevo sistema de reclutamiento naval basado en las particularidades del territorio y de la sociedad del virreinato neogranadino. Vergara analiza en este documento las causales por las que considera inicuo una instauración inconsulta de este tipo de sistemas y por qué es importante reflexionar en torno a una aplicación graduada a las necesidades del territorio americano.   The following transcription stems from a judicial claim staked by the attorney from Santa Fe Felipe Vergara Azcárate y Caicedo, who by the year 1786 was vexed as the state’s attorney from the government of Cartagena de Indias. In this document Vergara jumped to the conclusion that it was peremptory the abrogation of the so called Matrícula de Mar (Naval Register) or the instauration of a brand new manning system for the Navy based on the specific characteristics of the institutions, people and soil of the viceroyalty. In this document, Vergara analyzes why it was a pessimum decision of the instauration of the Naval Register and why it was important to think over about a new instauration based on the singularities of the Hispano-American soil.
