Hello Eduardo,
you are right, it was not misread but misspelled:

    na Villa de Art Verchem no Reino da Prucia

but I would bet that the Mecklenburg *Amt Verchen* was meant.

Under http://verchen.kreis-demmin.de they wrote:

    Verchen war der Sitz eines Amtes. Dem Amt stand ein ehrenamtlicher auf sechs Jahre gewählter Amtsvorsteher vor.

    [Verchen was the seat of an administration headed by a volunteer Superintendent who was elected for six years.]
