Hi Luciana, 1. The P. stands for "primeira" (first) certificate. 2. Unfortunately S. Miguel passport records available begin in the year 1875.
If indeed it was for travel reasons the certificate was obtained and he left out of Ponta Delgada the only way I think might be is through the ship's manifests. Either at port of entry (Brasil) or by researching through Ancestry records at Ancestry.com Others may be able to share other possible venues.
