A few days later, the new Viceroy, Francisco Jose de Sampaio e Castro, arrived in Goa.

While the quarrel was in progress, a native ship from Surat, bound for Jeddah, was captured off Bassein by a European pirate ship.

On the 7th August, the _Greenwich_, Captain Kirby, and the _Cassandra_, Captain James Macrae, bringing the usual yearly investment for Bombay and Surat, were in Johanna roads, engaged in watering.
