When Geinal entered upon the adm migration of the political con- 
cerns of the kingdom^ although he had promifed his father-in-law to 
carry on the war in concert with hitDj yet being apprchenfive of the ef- 
fefe of the Portiigiiefe power, he judged it more for his interefl to 
feek a reconciiiation with them, than to provoke thejr rcfentmcnt, and 
in purfuance of that fyftem, had fo far recommended hmvfelf to Garcia

nieffage to Alboquerque^ who in anfwer required him to relinquiih his 
crown in favour of him whom he fly led the lawful prince. He then 
rcprefentcd to him the injuflice of attempting to force him from the
