In 1801, owing to his experience in mercantile and maritime affairs, he was appointed by President Jefferson as Consul and Charge d'Affaires to Lisbon. While in this position, by his characteristic energy and diplomatic sagacity, he succeeded in stopping the impressment of American seamen by English authorities; he secured the admission of flour into Spain with small duties, thereby gaining for this country the in- mense neutral trade during the Peninsular War. He also changed the quarantine regu- lation for American ships from six weeks detention to three days. The expense of the war made it necessary for Spain to sell the celebrated flock of Spanish sheep, which had a reputation throughout the world and which they had spent a thousand years in im- proving. Mr. Jarvis at different times sent to this country 3,500 of these sheep, which was a larger number than came to America from any other source, and has been the means of adding untold millions to the agricultural wealth and manufacturing industries of the United States. After a residence of nine years in Lisbon, in 1810 Consul Jarvis came to Weathersfield Bow, he having sent previous to this time to Dr. Jarvis, his consin at Claremont, N.
