Note. - In the Novus Orbus of Simon Grynaeus, p. 202-211, there is an article entitled, _Short Account of India, by Joseph, an Indian Christian, who accompanied Cabral[A] to Lisbon in 1501_. We were inclined to have inserted this account at this part of our collection as an ancient and original document: But, on an attentive perusal, it is so jejune, contused, and uninstructive as not to merit attention. It evidently appears to have been penned by some person in Cabral's ship during the voyage home, from repeated conferences with Joseph: But, as the writer of this article informs us himself, many particulars were unknown to Joseph, because he had little intercourse with the idolaters, or because the reporter could not understand the answers which Joseph made to his inquiries. - E.

[A] In Grynaeus, Pedro Alvarez de Cabral, is named Peter Aliares. - E.

_Voyage of John de Nueva, being the third made by the Portuguese to India_.

Is the same year 1501, supposing all differences to have been settled amicably at Calicut by Cabral, and that a regular trade was established both there and at Sofala and Quiloa, the king of Portugal dispatched three ships and a caravel from Lisbon, under the command of John de Neuva, a native of Galicia in Spain, who was accounted a valiant gentleman; having under his orders, Francisco de Navoys, Diego Barboso, and Hernando de la Pyna, as captains of three of the ships.
