| Summary: | This 1687 transcription from the 19th-20th century details the correspondence between the Portuguese authorities in Macau and the Spanish Governor of India, highlighting the economic and political tensions between the two regions. The document describes the severe financial burdens imposed on Macau by the Governor of India, including heavy tributes and the imposition of new penalties. It also outlines the complaints about the loss of ships and the denial of access to the port of Manila. The text emphasizes the plea for relief and assistance from the Portuguese crown to address the dire economic situation faced by Macau, which was exacerbated by the actions of the Indian Governor and the lack of support from the Spanish authorities. Key figures include Francisco Fregozo Alferes, the procurator of the Council of Macau, and Don Rodrigo da Costa, the Governor of the State of India. The document provides valuable insights into the colonial relationships and economic challenges faced by Portuguese settlements in Asia during the late 17th century.
