description The present paper aims to learn about the political and institutional reality of the Royal Customs of the Río de la Plata. It seeks to understand the political system of the Spanish monarchy in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and analyzes the secret commission of Francisco Ximénez de Mesa in the Royal Customs office of Montevideo in 1786. The jurisdictional powers of the Royal Treasury in the hands of the superintendent of the Royal Treasury, Francisco de Paula Sanz, allowed organizing such an investigation. In 1788, after the restructuring of the superintendence, the commission reports were resumed, causing the revision of the financial statements, leading to the bankruptcy of the administrator Antonio Quintana Lasso de la Vega. For the study of this case, files from the Criminal section of the Archivo General de la Nación, documentationof Royal Order, regulations and ordinances linked to the administrative organization of the customs branch were consulted.

El presente trabajo tiene por objeto conocer la realidad política e institucional de las Reales Aduanas del Río de la Plata. Se busca comprender el sistema político de la monarquía española a fines del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX. Se estudia la comisión secreta y por vía reservada de Francisco Ximénez de Mesa en la Real Aduana de Montevideo en 1786. Las competencias jurisdiccionales de los asuntos del Real Erario en manos del Superintendente de Real Hacienda, Francisco de Paula Sanz, permitieron organizar tal pesquisa. En1788, tras la reestructuración de la superintendencia, se retoman los informes de la comisión originando la revisión de los estados contables, llevando a la quiebra al administrador Antonio Quintana y Lasso de la Vega. Para este caso se consultaron expedientes de la sección Criminales del Archivo General de la Nación, documentación de Reales Órdenes, reglamentos y ordenanzas vinculados a la organización administrativa del ramo aduanero. O objetivo deste trabahlo é compreender a realidade política e institucional da Alfândega Real do Rio da Prata. Busca-se compreender o sistema político da monarquia espanhola no final do século XVIII e início do século XIX. Estuda-se a comissão secreta e confidencial de Francisco Ximénez de Mesa na Alfândega Real de Montevidéu em 1786. Os poderes jurisdicionais sobre os assuntos da Fazenda Real nas mãos do Superintendente da Fazenda Real, Francisco de Paula Sanz, tornaram possível organizar tal investigação. Em 1788, após a reestruturação da superintendência, os relatórios da comissão foram retomados, levando a uma revisão das demonstrações contábeis, o que levou à falência do administrador Antonio Quintana y Lasso de la Vega. Para este caso, foram consultados os arquivos da Seção Criminal do Arquivo Geral da Nação, juntamente com a documentação de Ordens Reais, regulamentos e portarias relacionadas à organização administrativa da alfândega.
