_ 24 _ In November last there came to the Viceroy one Coje Naçurala a Baçorian by nation, as Ambassador of the Baxa of Baçorá, and this person came via Ormuz to arrange the peace, and brought powers from the Turk for the said peace treaties and that they would break up the galleys they had in Baçora, and after the Viceroy had had a council on the subject, he replied he had no powers from the King his lord, to arrange any such peace treaties, but that he would make it known to him, and that he would write to him both by these ships and overland, and that as soon as His Highness should send him instructions as to what he should do. He would send him a reply, and he then dismissed the Ambassador, and with him one Antonio Teixera, a married man of Ormuz, to go with him as far as Baçorá, and that they would give him passage for him to take the message to His Highness. At the end of November last, the Viceroy left Goa for Cochin, with fifty sails; owing to having had news that the pepper was not circulating and on the road, he had an interview at Coulete with the Çamorim where the Viceroy came forth with all the men be brought with him, and the Çamorin awaited him in a palm grove a little removed from the beach.
