Query: Meaning of "Conseiller du conseil supreme des Indes de sa Majeste catholique"

Julie Kalman Discussion

Hello

I am a French historian, working on 19th-century Mediterranean history. In correspondence I have come across a figure named Emanuel de las Heras, listed as a Spanish consul around 1804. His official title (in French) is "Conseiller du conseil supreme des Indes de sa Majeste catholique." I am keen to find out what the title signifies, and I am hoping someone can help me with this. There seems to be little or nothing on de las Heras himself.

Many thanks in advance
