| Sumario: | The unity that Spain wanted to maintain in its colonies on three fronts: political, economic and religious, gave rise to its authorities to dictate a series of provisions aimed at preventing the entry of foreigners into the territory of the Republic, or to place them in a situation inferior to the Spaniards and the inhabitants born in the country.

The plane in which the foreigners were placed by a warrior who acted effectively in the liberating campaign, not in Buenos Aires, not in the littoral, but in the northern provinces of Salta and Jujuy. Such a character is none other than Colonel Don Martin Güemes, the famous chief of the gauchos, and governor of Salta. |
