with 5*0 Sail. He applauded, as was
due, the Bravery of Antony de Silveyra , re
paired the Fort, and delivered it to J awes
Lopez, de Soufa, to whom the Command was
given by the King. Let it fliffice once for
all to note , That theie Commands are al
ways given by the King , and fo many Suc-
ceflbrs named, that many of them are in
their Graves before they lucceed in the
Poft. A Treaty of Peace was let on foot,
and concluded little to our advantage;
which the Common Vogue (I know not
whether Infallible) attributed to Covetout
nefs.

Baxsaint, was dole (hut up in his Fort by
the Forces of the King of Cambaia , who
were Mafters of the Fieldjafter having done
all that could be expected from him. The
Vice-Roy lent to his Relief Trip an de At aide i

and 3 Barques well Manned. The two being
joyned, repulfed the Enemy with very con-
fiderable lofs of Men, Baggage and Repu-
