This 17th-century administrative document, dated 14 July 1648, originates from the Portuguese Overseas Council (Conselho Ultramarino) in Lisbon and concerns a petition submitted by Father António Francisco Cardim, General Procurator of the Jesuit Province of Japan. The petition requests the restoration of an annual endowment of one thousand cruzados to the College of Macau, originally granted by King Dom Sebastião in 1574 from the customs revenues of Malacca, and later confirmed and extended by subsequent monarchs, including King Filipe II in perpetuity from 1614. Following the Dutch capture of Malacca, the funding was reassigned to revenues from the Aljofar pearl fisheries in Goa, but payment was suspended during the viceroyalty of the Count of Aveiras. The document records the Council’s deliberation on this matter, citing testimony regarding the continued missionary activity of the Jesuits across Japan, Cochin China, Tonkin, Cambodia, and Laos, despite persecution and financial hardship. It notes the province’s growing spiritual successes—including mass baptisms—and its severe economic distress, with current revenues insufficient to sustain operations. The Council recommends reinstating the grant from Aljofar revenues and formally recognising the monarch as founder of the College of Macau, following the precedent of royal patronage in Goa and Cochin. Accompanying royal charters from 1579, 1607, 1614, and 1618 are referenced as legal substantiation. A marginal royal dispatch dated 26 March 1649 approves the Council’s recommendation. The document is part of the Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (AHU) collections, specifically the India/Macau series, and reflects key aspects of Iberian colonial administration, ecclesiastical finance, and Jesuit missionary policy in East Asia during the early modern period.

D. João Pereira relata, de forma sumária, os eventos que levaram à abertura das vias de sucessão do capitão-geral, ocorrida após a morte do titular, D. Diogo Coutinho, às mãos do "povo" de Macau. Nesta carta elogia a acção de D. frei Manuel dos Anjos, OESA, governador do bispado da China. De acordo com o seu relato, o governador teria sido notificado dos acontecimentos relativos à sucessão do capitão-geral estando no coro do seu convento, tendo-se dirigido imediatamente à Câmara da cidade. Refere, mais, que frei Manuel dos Anjos ter-se-ia "portado com grande zelo e feruor, ofereçendo ate os castisaes, e a<s> lampadas de sua igreja com uontade mui prompta, e acodindo com efeito com emprestimo considerauel" nestes tempos difíceis de Macau. Deste modo, considerava D. João Pereira, era merecedor dos agradecimentos e mercês do monarca.

This 17th-century administrative document, originating from Macau and addressed to D. João IV, King of Portugal, records deliberations by the Overseas Council (Conselho Ultramarino) concerning escalating tensions between ecclesiastical and civil authorities in the Portuguese colony. The dispute centres on jurisdictional conflicts between D. João de Melo, Governor of the Bishopric of Macau, and Fr. António de São Miguel, Commissioner of the Holy Office, particularly regarding spiritual authority and governance. The text details mutual accusations: the Commissioner alleges interference in matters of conscience and discipline, while the Governor asserts overreach beyond sanctioned powers. Concurrently, residents of Macau have formally complained of official abuses, unjust taxation, and judicial inequities, exacerbating civil unrest. The document also addresses a royal prohibition on travel for Portuguese and Castilian subjects to Manila, imposed due to geopolitical tensions with Spanish authorities, alongside the forced withdrawal of Catholic religious personnel from Manila, raising concerns about pastoral continuity and missionary safety. The Council advises the Crown to issue a definitive ruling delineating ecclesiastical and secular jurisdictions, initiate an inquiry into colonial grievances, and consider measured adjustments to the travel ban and missionary deployments. Endorsed by marginal annotations and preserved in the Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (AHU_CU_Índia, Cx. 14, D), this record offers critical insight into colonial administration, church-state relations, and imperial policy in early modern Portuguese Asia.
