But when the matters was sifted, it came out that these gigantic pretentions rested on a vagde expres. sin in the 8th articles of the Treaty of Utrecht, that no insignia of Spanish sovereignty - had been exclusively displayed, no Spanish settlements ex. clusively founded, on that coast. That there had hern Spanish sculors was true. That Spanish ves- sels had been in the habit of touching there was also true. True, ton, that those sens had in that
bacangiars. But it was afterwards implied by the concessions, as it had been before admitted in the - words, of the Spanish Court, that its rights to that - coast and those ports were stillant quite certain.
