Ports and Fleets From Lisbon to New Colonial Ventures
A dated dispatch recounts ships sailing from the port for the East Indies and the Rio de Janeiro fleet led by Colonel Alvaro Sanchez de Brito aboard the Invocation of Mother of God. It notes arrivals from France, Spain, England, Sweden, and Holland, with transfers to Angola, Santos, Maranhao, Para, and Fernambuca. The King grants Don Joseph Navarro y Noguera rights to sell silk fabrics in the empire. Paris dispatches report royal embassies and promotions, while the Infant Queen recovers from indisposition. The India Company pursues Fort A piece against Dutch holdings. broader naval movements and merchant traffic fill the day’s chronicle.
