The first building on right is the Church of St. Jose...next to it...is the House of the National Deputies...The Royal Palace skirts the beach...The harbour can scarcely be excelled for capaciousness and security...Within the Palace Square [Largo de Paso] is a cab-stand, and on the other side are hotels and the houses of money-changers...The shipping on the right are the merchantmen discharging cargo...the land on the right is an island (The Island of Cobras)...on the city side of which are to be seen wharves and warehouses of the Custom House...The Naval Arsenal is seen immediately under the Convent of San Bento...on the left...the ships seen in the centre...are Government hulks and vessels of war...The distant mountains on the celebrated Organ Range tower 7000 feet; the practicable passes (serras) averaging 3000 to 3600 feet above the sea.
