| Abstract | |
This study analyzes the arranging and the impact of the Convention of 1817, signed by the English and Portuguese governments. Adding articles to the Treaty of 1815, which forbade the slave trade north of the Equator, the bilateral arrangement of 1817 established the reciprocal Right of Search of warships and Mixed Courts (Commissions) in order to judge Slavers who had ignored the commitment of Treaty of 1815. From the time of the Convention, this work intends to reevaluate the deal between Portuguese ambassadors and British diplomacy; to better understand the decisions decreed by D. João in respects to the slave trade; and to point out some of the aspects of political debates concerning the future of the Portuguese Monarchy, during the sojourn of the Real Court in Rio de Janeiro at the end of the decade of 1810.
