Place of publication based on other documents printed during the Royal Volunteers' Portuguese occupation of Montevideo (1822-1824). The administrative center of the Provincia Cisplatina was in Canelones.

"Oficio del Cabildo y Ayuntamiento de la ciudad de San Fernando de Maldonado al Exmo. señor sindico general de este estado", p. [1], is dated and signed: Sala capitular de San Fernando de Maldonado y abril 30 de 1823 ... Illmo. y Exmo. señor sindico general de este estado, don Thomas García de Zúñiga.

"Acta de ratificacion à que se refiere el antecedente oficio", p. [1]-4, had separate caption title, and is dated and signed: Maldonado y abril 30 de 1823. Pedro Veyra. Secretario. Felipe Alvarez Bengochea. Secretario.

These documents were published in the midst of the struggles between the Cisplatine authorities who remained loyal to the King of Portugal and those who supported the line of succession in Brazil. Among these supporters of the Brazilian monarchy was the Barón de la Laguna, who settled in the interior of Uruguay, thus distancing himself from the government of Montevideo, which was pro-Portuguese.
