Description
Summary:Official dispatch from the State Secretariat dated 18 September 1842, addressed to the Sir Minister of the Navy, concerning ecclesiastical jurisdictional reorganisation and administrative protocol. The document references paragraphs 3 and 4 of a prior memorandum regarding the subordination of the Bishopric of Malacca to Macau and of St. Thomas and Prince’s Island to Angola, requesting ministerial consideration and endorsement. It affirms approval of the Minister’s response to the Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice, particularly the directive to refrain from using flying seals (sello volante) in official correspondence, and stresses compliance while ensuring the State Secretariat is informed of significant developments to maintain oversight. The dispatch also includes instructions to gather intelligence on potential insurgent activities anticipated in Bologna, with a request for detailed reporting on outcomes and consequences. Additionally, it directs the forwarding of a copy of an official communication to Demetter, alongside the dispatch to the Secretary of Justice dated 1 October (porta three). Signed by Deus G. de W.S. Paço de Cintra at the Paço de Cintra, the document bears annotations referencing João Pedro Migueis de Carvalho. The marginal note records the name Lee, Anielle, a 15-year-old girl of diminutive build with possibly altered physical measurements, originating from the District of Our Lady of Macairi, though her connection to the main text remains unclear. This primary source offers insight into mid-19th-century Portuguese colonial ecclesiastical administration, bureaucratic procedure, and possible surveillance practices.
