description This document is a translation of a seventeenth-century Portuguese administrative resolution and council representation, dated 28 January 1647, from the Council in Goa to King John IV. The text concerns the logistical organisation of a military and naval expedition to Portuguese India, specifically addressing the dispatch of vessels and infantry from Lisbon. Key figures mentioned include the Marquis, Jorge de Castro, Jorge de Albuquerque, and João Delgado Digueira, who signed the document, alongside the scribe João Miguel Pacheco. The resolution details the appointment of vessels, the urgent arming of ships for Ceylon, and the necessity of writing to the Viceroy and Captain-General. The Council petitions the King to execute the decree through the Conselho da Fazenda, discusses the routing of a supply ship to Lisbon due to navigational difficulties and a lack of experienced pilots, and notes the need for notification of vessels departing Lisbon for India. The document provides primary evidence of colonial administrative procedures, naval logistics, and the governance of the Estado da Índia during the mid-seventeenth century, reflecting the Crown’s efforts to sustain its overseas territories.

On the twenty-first day of February of one thousand six hundred and forty, and [by] the authority [I hold], [I order] that [they] go directly to this port; and that the same be done for Mozambique; and because there are private vessels, for this purpose, [I] command this expedition with the utmost urgency to the Council of the Treasury, so that it may arrange and execute [it] with the greatest speed possible. Together with the copy of this Decree, which [was] sent to the Council of the Treasury, another [decree] of the same date came to this Council, concerning the arming of [vessels for] Ceylon, and [ordering] that Your Majesty should write to the Viceroy, [and] to the [Captain-]General [of the fleet], that [the expedition] should be undertaken forthwith. Having examined this matter, [I find] nothing contrary [to it]. It seemed to the Council, having considered the matter, that [we] should render all due gratitude to Your Majesty for the mercies [shown], that Your Majesty [should undertake] the conquests of India, in this Conclusion, which [Your Majesty] was pleased to adopt, for upon it depends the sole remedy for that State, which so greatly needs this [Stamp — center left] [HISTORICAL ARCHIVE OF LISBON] {{PAGE:2}} --- TRANSLATION --- This Council pledges to observe Your Majesty's decree with all due demonstration and grandeur, as set forth in its full tenor, from which we may hope for the best. And in fulfilment of this, with all requisite humility, this Council humbly petitions Your Majesty to be pleased to order that, with all due diligence and promptness, the said Decree be executed so that it may take effect through the Council of Finance [Conselho da Fazenda], taking full notice thereof, together with as many additional men as may possibly be obtained. Meanwhile, regarding the supply ship [Navio de assistência], it appears to this Council that it would be more convenient for Your Majesty's royal service that it should proceed to Lisbon [a Lisboa], for the reason that it would be impossible for it to go directly to the factory [feitoria] and return, since it is due to depart in November; besides which, according to the information provided by [António?] Pialho Ferreira, there are great inconveniences in undertaking this voyage directly this year, both because of the impossibility of its return and because of the lack of experienced pilots for such a voyage. Furthermore, if it goes to Lisbon, or to [Água?], it could then proceed to the factory, should the disposition of the winds prove favourable. Your Majesty being blessed with an abundance of men, of which there is no greater need, Your Majesty will be able to bestow all the further graces of that state [Estado da Índia]. This Council has already informed Your Majesty through another representation that it has no knowledge of the ships that have departed this year from Lisbon for India; and that it is necessary that Your Majesty should order this Council to be given notice of the vessels that depart and of their tonnage [porte]. {{PAGE:3}} --- TRANSLATION --- And thereafter, in order that they might be able to count the said [vessels], Captains were elected for them, in accordance with the Regulations of this Council, as per the arrival of the ships.
