text_original: This Town was built by the _Spaniards_ when they first settled, for the Defence of this River. [Sidenote: _Account of the River La Plata._] _St. Jago de l'Istero_ 200 Leagues N W. from _Santa Fe_, is a pretty Town govern'd by a Corregidore, has three Churches, and lies on the River that runs down to _Santa Fe_. Hither the Plate is brought from _Potosi_ on Mules, because the Roads are bad; and from hence it is carry'd to _Buenos Ayres_ by Waggons.
