Abstract
[Opposition in Louisiana to the first Spanish governor, don Antonio de Ulloa, culminated on 1768 October 29 with the passage of a decree by the Superior Council of the colony ordering the expulsion of Ulloa within three days. Later, French Intendant Nicolas Denis Foucault authorized the publication of this memorial by the royal printer in New Orleans, Denis Braud. It is said that the French Governor Charles Aubry sought to suppress the publication, and subsequently Governor Alejandro O'Reilly ordered all copies burned. Ulloa attributed authorship of the memorial to Nicolas Chauvin de Lafréniére, the leading investigator of the movement against him, but Julien Jérôme Doucet also admitted having assisted in its writing. The present document is a Spanish translation of the memorial and is in handwriting of Francisco Bouligny, a high-ranking officer in the Spanish army, who came to Louisiana with O'Reilly in 1769.] The memorial, written in hyperbolic style, amounted to a catalogue of injus
