Report in Portuguese on the peace negotiations in India between the Portuguese and the Sawantwadi state, resulting in the installment of a new Portuguese Viceroy in Goa.
Written by José Freire de Monterroio Mascarenhas (1670-1760), the work first provides background information about Viceroy Menses and Portuguese India from 1717 to 1740, followed by an account of Mensess second journey to India in 1740 and the beginnings of his new government in Goa. The last 11 pages give the complete transcription of the peace treaty between Portugal and the Sawantwadi state that the Viceroy made with the Raja Sar Desai, Ramachandra Savant I Bhonsale (1712-1755) on 31 August 1741 (and the ratification on 11 October 1741). Included is the complete transcription of the earlier treaty made on 7 April 1712 by the Viceroy Rodrigo da Costa and the Raja Sar Desai, Phond Savant II Bhonsale.
