Minutas de pareceres sobre as Casas da Índia e Mina

Document notes

Selected source photographs from the separately catalogued installation unit PT/TT/CFTR-MAS/006/06.8.2, Casa Fronteira e Alorna, n.º 245, doc. 6.8.2. Native annotations on photographs 1 and 27 confirm no.245, doc.6.8.2. Photograph 2 preserves the wrapper wording "Armazéns, Casas da Índia e Mina, cartas e pareceres do 2.º Marquês". One entry combines all 54 supplied photographs in numeric filename order, 1.jpg–54.jpg. The retained catalogue extract describes 57 documents, which is not a face count. This is selected coverage, not complete acquisition of the 57 documents. The retained DOCX catalogue extract, linked to https://digitarq.arquivos.pt/details?id=7871084, gives the descriptive range [entre 1681 e 1729], Lisboa, Goa. Searchable range 1681–1729 follows that catalogue unit envelope; composition and copying dates have not been independently read for every selected draft. Fresh catalogue-page retrieval was unavailable during intake. Modern supplied wrappers include a 1712–1713 heading on photograph 39 and 15 November 1722 on photograph 50; these do not independently date all neighbouring faces. No single author or autograph attribution is imposed on the packet. The catalogue describes drafts of letters and opinions concerning the Armazéns, Casas da Índia e Mina, Conselho Ultramarino and Conselho da Fazenda, with Brazil and India navigation, naval administration, revenue, customs and trading interests. This wider catalogue scope is distinguished from the supplied selection. The photographs were inspected for writing, wrappers, order and physical duplication, without a complete transcription, arithmetic check or exhaustive act identification. Faint writing, deletions, insertions, sparse endings and provenance wrappers are retained. No definite blank or exact-byte duplicate occurs among the 54 originals. Similar written versions are preserved. This installation unit is distinct from the existing selected dossier PT/TT/CFTR-MAS/006/6.14.3.1, D. Cristóvão de Melo's opinion and letters, also carrying physical no.245. Different native document references and contents are preserved; the dossiers are not merged merely because they share the physical number. All twelve existing source faces were compared against this selection: no original-byte match or visually corresponding face was identified in that bounded comparison. Exact-image absence throughout the entire archive is not claimed. All supplied JPEGs remain byte-identical and uncropped, in their original 720×1280 RGB format with embedded 456-byte ICC profiles. This is the supplied photograph resolution, not a claim of full-resolution archival scans. No enhancement, resizing, rotation or recompression is applied. Original photographs, supporting DOCX and Transkribus preservation files remain unchanged. Generated text is support only and is not imported as independently reviewed transcription. No automatic transcription or public sharing; no completed textual-review credit.

121 Em repetidas occasioẽs tenho feito prez. a V. Mag.de que todo o cabedal d'estes Armazeñs naõ excede a soma de unidas ambas as repartiçoẽs da Coroa, e Consulados, e q' esta (tiradas as despezas de soldos, ordenados, e juros) naõ podia supprir nem satisfazer aos seus antigos encargos da navegaçaõ da India e da guarda da Costa deste Rno p.ª q' p.m foi constituida, o q' naõ podiamos duvidar quando viamos aquella attenuada e esta ja extincta: e q' nestes termos ninguem poria em duvida a impossibilid.e dos Armazeñs p.ª comboyar as frotas do Brazil, e tolerar as despezas de quinze me- zes de demora, q.do naõ podia sofrer so a de tres de guarda Costa sem outra p.or providencia.
