| Summary: | This abstract describes a formal administrative document dated 1836, originating from the Maritime Affairs Department and addressed to a high-ranking colonial official designated as “Your Excellency”. The document transmits the Royal Letter of Presentation appointing the Reverend Luís Pereira de Borja to the See of the Cathedral of Macau in China, alongside a certified copy of that letter and his full nomination dossier. It instructs the addressee to oversee the formal presentation of the appointee before His Majesty and to ensure the timely issuance of Apostolic Letters, faculties, and indults, with all associated expenses to be covered by the Public Treasury. Marginal annotations identify the Ministry of the Navy and Overseas Territories and its Overseas Section as the responsible administrative units. The document reflects the institutional mechanisms of Portuguese ecclesiastical appointment and colonial governance in Macau during the early nineteenth century, illustrating the interplay between royal authority, papal jurisdiction, and overseas administration. It is a primary source for studying Portuguese imperial bureaucracy, Catholic ecclesiastical patronage in Asia, and the legal and procedural frameworks governing religious appointments in colonial contexts. Researchers will find it valuable for analysing administrative hierarchies, diplomatic protocol, fiscal responsibility in colonial governance, and the formalisation of clerical office-holding in Portuguese Asia. The text contains period-specific terminology—including “meação”, “Royal Letter of Presentation”, “Apostolic Letters”, and “indults”—consistent with contemporary Portuguese administrative and canonical usage.
