		Ulloa had also gained fame among European scientists by founding an astronomical observatory and a mineralogical laboratory.
		Ulloa's attempts to force the French colonists to use the handful of Spanish-dominated ports in the territory further alienated his subjects, as did his refusal to honor old French promissory notes held by many of the colonists.

	Cabannocé Post (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		When a second group of exiles landed in Louisiana in 1767, Spanish colonial governor Antonio de Ulloa informed them that they would not be allowed to settle among their Cabannocé kin, but for strategic reasons would be placed a short distance upriver near Fort St. Gabriel, in present-day Iberville Parish.
		When additional exiles appeared in 1768, Ulloa likewise denied their request to settle at Cabannocé, ordering them (again, for strategic reasons) to San Luis de Natchez (present-day Natchez, Mississippi), quite a distance from both Cabannocé and Fort St. Gabriel.
		Despite protests from the brothers Honoré and Alexis Braud, who served as the exiles’ leaders, the Acadians eventually were forced to reside at San Luis until Ulloa was deposed by the Insurrection of 1768 — a revolt led in part by Cabannocé Acadians.
