theEmperour in the behalf of the King his Mafter, and to allure him
that they were no longer under the Power of the King of Spain. That
about a year lince, a lawful Heir of fortugdh^ recover’d the Diadem
of hisAnceftors which the had ufurp’d. That this new King
was fo juft and generous a Prince 5 that underftanding that fome of his
Subje&s had deferted the Illand of Japon, without paying their Debts,
he had now fent to make a general fatisfadiion • but chiefly out of that
refped which obliges all Soveraigns newly come to the Crown, to give
notice thereof to tnofe Princes, whofe friendfhip they defire.
The Governour inform’d the Emperour of all thele things 5 but the
Prefident having as good intelligence by means of his Friends at Court,
alledg’d to the Emperour that they were Rebels, who came from the
utmoft parts of the Weft, to bring the News and Example of their
Revolt to '\apon: That the natural reftlefnefs of this Nation caus’d fre
quent difturbances and revolutions among them. That they were never
long at reft themfelves, nor would fuflFer others to be at quiet. That
confidering the experience he had had , he could not be either too cau
tious for the fecurity of his perfon, or the tranquillity of his Empire.
Laftly, that the Emperour and the Empire would be ruin’d paft reco
very , if thofe people were ever admitted to fet footing therein.
This Counfel well feconded by the reft of the Cabal, eafily made an
impreflion in the Heart of the Prince naturally Barbarous, and an
Enemy to the Chriftians* Thereupon he fent an Order to the Gover-
nour to invite ail the whites aboard , and to treat them for eight days in
the beft manner he could. At the end of eight days they were order’d
to repair aboard again, and at the fame time he made a Prefent to the
Embafladour, and chief of his Train, confifting of fix great Cabinets,
and fix Coffers lacker’d with black, with Figures in Relief, intermix’d
with fpangles of Gold , all the Embellifhments being of Maflie Gold.
With them were fix Cabinets, and fix Coffers, lacker’d with Red,
Embellifh’d after the fame manner with Silver. I faw fome of them
when I was at Goa, and I muft confefs I never beheld any fo rare and
beautiful in that kind , which made me admire the ingenious Induftry
of the Artiftsof ^apon • Our imitations of their workmanfhip
being no way comparable to them.
The Embaffadour having receiv’d his Prefent, had Order to remove
all the Goods in the fecond Veffel into the Admiral. He would have
made great Prefents to theGovernour, who refus’d them 5 telling the
Embaffadour withall, that he had exprefs command to refuie them, and
to declare to the EmbafTadour, that if he did not make haft away, he
would fink his Ship. That the Emperour his Mafter had made a new
prohibition , forbidding all Tortugals and Spaniards to venture near hj^
Dominions upon any pretence whatfoever; nay , though it were upon
pretence of anEmhaffy, upon pain of being criicifi’d upon theplace,
without liberty to fpeakfor themfelves. As for the Debts of the Porttt-
gals, he had undertaken to difcharge them himfelf-, only he had fent
that Prefent to the King his Mafter to thank him for that Embaffy. The
Embaffadour had no fooner remov’d the Goods out of the fecond Veuel
into the Admiral, but they fank her before his face. And not contented
with that affront, the Governour lent for all the Blacks that were in the
Admit al, and cutoff their Heads, pretending they were Indians, and
that, as fuch, they could not be ignorant of the Rigorous prohibitions
. ' which
