This article reiterate the tradition of negotiations between Portuguese and various African peoples on the coast of Africa, on questions related to the slave trade and the trade organization. From that tradition, I discuss diplomatic issues involving Africans, Portuguese, English and Brazilians in the context of the coming of the Portuguese court to Rio de Janeiro in 1808 and the years that followed, and the way in which the sovereign Africans were removed from the process of negotiation that would create restrictions on slave trade in the first half of the 19th century.
