Madrid Letter Reveals English Demands on Restitutions
A Madrid dispatch outlines four main English demands from negotiations with M de la Quadra. Restitution of ships seized by Spanish guards, freedom of navigation to the Indies, prohibition on Spanish visitation of English ships, and restoration of English positions in the West Indies, especially the Bay of Campeachy. The letter cautions such claims may be motivated by Spaniards’ interests and notes Spanish treaties 1667 and 1670. It warns that without clear explanations, accommodations may be unsafe and that English ships continue to suffer interruptions and damages abroad.
