A partir de 1760 resulta más difícil encontrar material adecuado, pero lo hallado hasta ahora muestra un panorama escasamente halagüeño. Revela, además, lo mismo que en las etapas anteriores: que aquel sistema político deseaba asimilar a los grupos sociales intermedios que, de forma general, protagonizaban aquella corrupción.
