his
Intentio~ut ftnce now there was no remedy,
and that no caufe was given to move or force his departure, the
Inca
was the lé(s
concerned, though th_e people were generally rejoyced ac his Flighc,
to
whom
the·Humour·and haughty Difpofition ofa Prince, like him, was neveí:' pleafant.
The News of che füght of
Hanco-huallu,
with ~11 the partirnlars of it, beidg 1nade
known and-confirmed; tbe
Inca
commanded h1s Brother
Pahuac Mt-1:Jta,
Whorh he
had left Govemour at
Couo,
wirh two otners of his Council, to pafs wirh a con-
¡
fiderable·number of Souldiers, into che Countrey ofthe
ChancM,
there to fee and
inform themfelves of the true íl:ate of that rernaining people, whom they were to
.creat and carefs with ali genrlenefs, giving them comfort and affurance of Prot~c–
tion ; for chat though their Prince was fled, yer they íhóuld not want the ca.re of
che
Inca,
wpo was both more able to defend them, as alfo more mild and loving
than their fierce
Hanco-huallu.

Thefe
lncM
having vifired all the Provinces belonging to che
ChanCM,
and dif–
pofed them to a quiec and fatisfied condition, they went to the cwo famous For–
creífes of
Hanco-hualtu;
built by bis Anceftours called
Cha/lcu marca,
and
Sura mar–
ca ;
M arca
in that Language fignifying a Caftle or Fortrefs.
In
thefe places
Hanco–
huallu
paffed fome days before his depar-ture, which (as the
lndians
report) he was
more troubled to leave, than ali the other poí!effions he enjoyed in bis Domini–
ons. The difturbance which the füght of
Hanco-huallu.
had caufed, and th~coníl:er–
nation in che minds of che People, being in fome m;mner quieced and appeafed;
and all ocher mac
ters ofche Empire being 'well ordered and eíl:abliíhed, che
Jnca
returned again co
Coz.coto enjoy the fruits of Peace, and employ his time in che
adminifüation óf Juíl:ice, and performance of matters beneficia! to the ·wellfare of
bis Subjeéts ; hoping thac with time the fears and jealoufies which
Hanco-hu1t!lú
had raifed, would blow over, and vaniíh. The firíl: thing therefore that he did
· was to publiíh cenain Laws, which in that conjunéture of Affairs were feafona–
ble and convenient, ..arrd which ferved
to
prevenc infurreétions of che like nature
for che furure. Next
he
fenc a Colony of about cen·thoufand Perfons, under che
Commaí\d of
InCM-(lnto
the Coumrey ofche
ChancM,
to
fup¡>ly che places of chofe
who were íláin in che Bactel of
Tahuar-pampu,
aw:l of chofe who had deferced their
Countrey in company with
Hanco-huallu.
Then he appointed (everal fumpmous
Houfes to be builc in ali places of bis Empire, particularly in tqe valley of
Tucay,
.which is lower than
Tampu.
For chis Valley is the moft pleafant and delightfull
place in all
Peru ;
having for chac reafon been chofen by all che Kings, [lnce the tiiné
of
M anco Capac,
for cheir Garden, and place of Recreation ; to
·w
hkh they often
·retired,
to
refreíh arld divertife themfelves af~er che toils and labours which arci
inciden

to
Govermnenc. The fituarion of it isabouc four Leagues diftant Norrh–
eaíl: from che City, in a moft faeet and healrhfull Air, where che Climaté is
ÍQ
temperace, that neicher cold or heat are in excefs; che

cool, oor are che Flies or Gnacs troublefome, or any other infeét there poifonous
or vexatious.

to
the plain, and fupplies it with conrinued
íl:rearns, from ,vhich rhey draw feveral Branches, and convey ic by Chanels to wa~
ter rheir Grounds. Though che mid'dle of chisMountain be lofry, rugg~d and af:–
perous; yet at che foocand skirts of it are verdam Paíl:ures, and Lands abounc.ling
