Spain Opens Ports to British Ships After Cessation Hostilities
The 1727 letter from Spain's Secretary of State to M. Vander-Meer states that English ships may trade freely on all Spanish coasts and ports as in peacetime. It notes disputes with Hanover allies over armistice terms and restitution of ships, with final signing of Preliminary Articles in Madrid on the 8th.
