His later work included Russia, Argentina, and Uruguay. In October 1830 he temporarily headed the Russian mission while awaiting the Marquis of Maceió. He became minister resident in Washington in 1840; the position was raised to minister plenipotentiary in 1845.","His Washington career ended in the dispute over the American warship Saratoga. After Brazilian authorities arrested sailors and an officer in Rio de Janeiro in October 1846, Lisboa was instructed to seek the withdrawal of U.S. minister Henry Wise and the American naval commander. In May 1847 the Council of State accused him of disregarding those instructions and negotiating instead over whether the arrests insulted the United States. The councillors feared that Washington’s interpretation of the settlement undermined Brazil’s jurisdiction over foreign sailors ashore. The councillors recommended his recall and a formal rejection of his concessions. Lisboa's handling of the dispute remained contested."],"id":"brazil:gaspar jose lisboa","identifiers":{},"legacyPersonIds":[],"legacyUrl":"https://chanceries.org/diplomat-c45e396ba49113ce40dc.html","name":"Gaspar José Lisboa","notes":[],"paragraphSources":[["raffaelli","russia1830","london1826"],["saratoga-originals"]],"profileUrl":"diplomat-c45e396ba49113ce40dc.html","relatedEvents":[],"relatedPeople":[],"relationships":[],"researchStatus":"limited","reviewedOn":"2026-10-28","revision":"401aa71bdbe5f9ab","sources":[{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"2006","id":"raffaelli","locator":"pp. 35, 184–195, 215–217","publisher":"FUNAG","title":"Marcelo Raffaelli, A Monarquia & a República","type":"scholarship","url":"https://funag.gov.br/loja/download/329-monarquia-e-a-republica.pdf"},{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"1830-10-22","id":"russia1830","locator":"Authority record and linked item description","publisher":"Arquivo Histórico do Itamaraty","title":"Gaspar José Lisboa: letter to Francisco Corrêa Vidigal, 22 October 1830","type":"archive","url":"https://atom.itamaraty.gov.br/index.php/gaspar-jose-lisboa-1866"},{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"1826-05-10","id":"london1826","locator":"Decr_421-1-13_1826-05-10_02, title and date fields","publisher":"Arquivo Histórico do Itamaraty","title":"Appointment of Gaspar José Lisboa as attaché in London, 10 May 1826","type":"archive","url":"https://atom.itamaraty.gov.br/index.php/decr-421-1-13-1826-05-10-02"},{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"","id":"saratoga-originals","locator":"O Conselho de Estado e a política externa do Império, volume II, pp. 349–368, especially 364–367","publisher":"Câmara dos Deputados / FUNAG","title":"Council of State consultation on the Saratoga incident, 9 May 1847","type":"primary-record","url":"https://bd.camara.leg.br/bd/bitstreams/b4ae7fb2-42c5-42b8-8333-67aeade467b8/download"},{"accessedOn":"","date":"Accessed 22 October 2026","id":"mission-62664b5e08dd6454fab5","locator":"Barbosa’s own account of embassy support for Projeto Resgate.","publisher":"","title":"Rubens Barbosa: archival-recovery initiative, foreword pp. 30–31","type":"Mission record","url":"https://funag.gov.br/loja/download/753-guia_dos_arquivos_americanos.pdf"},{"accessedOn":"","date":"Accessed 26 October 2026","id":"mission-759fca5789687b8b2893","locator":"","publisher":"","title":"Historical representation: Empire of Brazil","type":"Mission record","url":"https://funag.gov.br/loja/download/legacoes_embaixadas.pdf"},{"accessedOn":"","date":"","id":"mission-4a7db01ca9376d919aaa","locator":"","publisher":"","title":"Gaspar José Lisboa — mission record (1841–1847)","type":"Mission record","url":"https://funag.gov.br/biblioteca-nova/produto/loc_pdf/345/1/monarquia_e_a_republica:_aspectos_das_relacoes_entre_brasil_e_estados_unidos_durante_o_imperio_a"},{"accessedOn":"","date":"Accessed 26 October 2026","id":"mission-fc4375c1c92978eed672","locator":"","publisher":"","title":"Historical representation: Empire of Brazil","type":"Mission record","url":"https://www.camara.leg.br/noticias/91674-saiba-quais-sao-as-12-bandeiras-historicas-do-brasil/"}],"topics":["Saratoga incident","diplomatic instructions"]},"schemaVersion":1}
