On 4 March 1622, the Council of Finance discussed a letter from the King. The King was surprised by the terms used by the Captain General and the Captain of the fleet in their orders to VM. The King advised VM to handle the matter with prudence and kindness, as the Captain General had already been addressed about similar issues. The King noted that it was incredible that Malacca, with its many ports and abundant supplies, was not being utilized to acquire goods. The King suggested that the experienced sailors could easily resolve this. The King also mentioned that the nobles were being paid their salaries in advance, even when the situation required loans. The enemy had been blockading the port of Malacca with large fleets for five continuous years. This year, the enemy had lifted the blockade, but this was not due to any lack of effort or mistakes on their part. Instead, it was because the neighboring kings had taken up arms against them, cutting off trade and causing poverty in the city. The city was so depopulated and impoverished that even the oldest inhabitants did not recognize it. Due to the lack of ships from the Kingdom and the loss of the island of Ceylon, the enemy had grown confident. The King of Candia was preparing to send fleets from the coast with nobles, knights, and all the weapons, ammunition, and supplies needed for war. This posed a great threat to Malacca. To address this, the Governor had provided 220,000 xerafins. However, news arrived that trade between China and Japan was forbidden, causing great loss to the King and the inhabitants of Malacca. A ship was dispatched to Japan under the command of Gaspar Pereira dos Reis, with Diego de Sousa de Menezes as ambassador. The embassy cost over 30,000 xerafins. Domingos Maciel was also sent as administrator of the voyages, along with Manuel Correa as judge of Macao. The Governor also sent the Captain Major of the galleons, which were loaded with gold, silver, and other war supplies. The Captain Major would provide clear and distinct letters about these matters. The Governor advised VM to assist the Captain Major with everything necessary for the service of His Majesty, using the ships at their disposal.

On 11 July 1613, a report from a frigate heading to Tidor mentioned the capture of 50 packs of cloth and 16 last of rice. There was fear of losing the ship Eeuwig and the arrival of 3 English ships. It also described the capture of a junk from Malacca by the Company of Sorong, which yielded 2000 Spanish dollars, 8 men, and 20 slaves. There was a dispute with the Company of Sorong, who claimed ignorance of the war with the Portuguese. The report also mentioned mutiny and planned treachery by soldiers, including Hartman, and the refusal of the Bandar to punish deserters. It noted the need for peace and war supplies for Fort Nassau, the danger of English trade there, and the need for 300 soldiers and a fort on Lontor. It requested blacksmith tools, carpentry tools, gunpowder, fuses, and other supplies. It also mentioned the loading of 170 bundles of mace, 3451 atti of Banda nutmeg, and 6698 ¾ catti of unprocessed nutmeg to be sent to Banten. Michielsz wrote in March 1612 from Ceylon about the desolate state of the island and the need for soldiers, as promised, without any authority to demand them. Hendrick Bauwer wrote on 11 February 1613 from a foreign harbor named Cochin to the Governor. He reported that the office in Macassar had made a profit of 6000 in 2 years and hoped for better results. He left 100 realen and 87 under a Commissary in Greej. He advised leaving Greej and Macassar and recommended a good place near Japara for trade, with deep water. He also mentioned slow trade in Japan, where a last of rice could be bought for 20 stivers. He suggested the best route from the Molucas to Japan and the possibility of trading 2-3000 salen of pepper, 100 bahar or 500 picul of cloves, and 100 picul of nutmeg in Japan. He also mentioned two suitable houses in Japan and advised against a too-hasty rumor.

In June 1660, the ship de Mars did not reach the harbor of Macassar. Still, they tried to destroy it with fire. They sent their ships and boats, filled with armed soldiers, to set it ablaze. Two of these, a large yacht and a small frigate, both loaded with the finest trading wood ever seen, were set on fire and completely burned down. A third ship was closer to the shore, but their men could not stay due to heavy fire from the land. They had to retreat with great danger, leaving behind three sailors and bringing some wounded. The fourth of the remaining ships, the seventh in total, was near the shore and protected by the enemy. This battle cost them 5 dead and a similar number of wounded, while many on the enemy side were killed or injured. From captured Portuguese prisoners, they learned that the galleon of Simon de Soise had arrived from Timor a few days earlier. It was loaded with trading wood, which had been sold and unloaded onto one of the Macassar ships for the Jesuits, and was then empty in the harbor. The second and large ship, named Nostra Senhora de Rosario d'Armida, was destroyed by its own gunpowder. Prisoners claimed this was due to negligence, not sabotage. It belonged to the Portuguese Francisco fiero and was loaded with spices, Radix china, and some silk. The rest of the cargo was to be supplemented with sapwood and sent to Goa. The third ship, captured by the fluyt Breuckelen, was named Nostra Senhora de Remedios. It belonged to the Jesuit Company in Macau and was fully loaded with fine sandalwood, pepper, cloves, wax, benzoin, buffalo horns, and rattan. The fourth ship, loaded with sandalwood and destroyed by fire, was named Sr. Michiel. It had arrived from Timor just before their arrival and also belonged to Francisco fiero. The fifth was the burned yacht or small frigate, loaded with sandalwood for the same Francisco fiero.

The account lists goods such as sandalwood, wax, and Chinese sugar and rice, with their respective weights and costs.

Davidt verdonck, the under-merchant, with the approval of the Coningh (King), managed the remaining capital of ƒ 11913 16 8 to invest in the mentioned trades at fair prices. The Coningh and prince were satisfied with the restitution of their hunting goods near Maniesa in 1646, amounting to ƒ 39849 9 12. This settlement resolved the conflict, and no further demands were made by Gorontales. The Generael and 29 other generals also excused the matter, so it was trusted that the issue would not be raised again.

Although the restitution exceeded the valuation by about 13,000 guilders, the Comp (Company) still profited from the high sale of goods in Taijouan. The owners were deprived of their capital for so long that it was hoped they would accept the settlement rather than risk war with the Macassaer, which would have been more damaging to the Comp. For these reasons, a more generous restitution was arranged.

The trade in Macassar was actively pursued by the Portuguese and English in hopes of obtaining cloves. However, the Danes were not present there this year. A Portuguese ship from Tegapatnam, two from Maccauw, and the ship of Francisco lle viero carrying 121 ons were noted.

On 24 December, merchant Coopman Buijs was sent back to Macassar on the fluyt ship 't witte peerdt with a valuable cargo of fabrics worth ƒ 71731: 16. The orders given to him and the responses from the kings can be found in the letter book.

From Solor, Majoor Willem Verbeecq returned on 3 June on the fluyt ship de Wolff via Macassar. On 21 September, the chaloupe Solor followed, bringing back:

• 213 picul of fine sandalwood
• 92 tail of 2 maes (or 12 realen weight) of gold
• 28½ picul of wax
• 5 picul of snake wood
• 27 picul of slaves (men and women)
• 98 picul of sheep

Additionally, 97 picul of goods were lost either in Solor or during the journey. The total cost was ƒ 12948: 4: 12. Little trade was conducted, but there was hope for good future deals in sandalwood, wax, and some slaves. The yacht de Temeeuw was left there to promote this with Larentucque and Coupan.

On 2 February, a severe earthquake in Solor caused most of the fortress's east and west sides to collapse. Under the fallen walls, the son of merchant and chief Hendrick ter Borst and three slave women died. Nine more people were seriously injured. Many iron pans, porcelain items, and most provisions were broken and lost, causing significant damage and shortages for the Company. The fluyt's supplies were replenished as much as possible with Majoor present. The damaged works were repaired as best as possible.

An envoy arrived from the vice-king and then traveled to Macassar for trade. From there, he returned with a yacht as an envoy with letters from the king and departed for Goa on 13 August. He planned to return in February via the same route with cloth and other goods to Macassar. These trips, under the name of ambassador, were profitable, mainly benefiting the mentioned king. The envoy, acting on behalf of the vice-king Don Philippo de Mascarensas, presented written proposals, to which a response was given and recorded in the resolution book on 10 August.

In 1596, they purchased 1596 picul of fine sandalwood at 14¾ reals per picul. Of this, 1074 picul were sent to Caiouan, sold there for 33 to 40 reals per picul, which were extraordinary prices. The rest and any further profits would also be sent there to fulfill the demand of 1500 picul as much as possible.

This year’s cargo traded in Macassar advanced ƒ33,506. The costs amounted to ƒ5,310, 4 stivers, and 2 pennies. The net profit from Macassar so far was ƒ28,195, 15 stivers, and 14 pennies. However, this was modest, and to compete effectively, they needed to act quickly to secure large quantities of sandalwood, wax, benzoin, and pepper.

• Companies mentioned included Albert Aysuesparsse & Co. in Libourne, H. van de VELDE & Co. in Sigur, S. O. AEE & Co. in Zaandam, and Barclay & Perkins.
