CONVENTION SIGNEE ENTRE FRANCE & L'ESPAGNE, QUI, EN EXPLIQUANT CELLE DU 2 JANVIER 1768, POURVOIT AUX MOYENS D'EMPECHER LA CONTREBANDE ENTRE LES SUJETS RESPECTIFS DES DEUX ... An important treaty between France and Spain, with significant ramifications for their colonial holdings in America. Herein Vergennes and the Conde d'Aranda further define commercial arrangements between the two countries in an attempt to control contraband. This had special impact for the Caribbean basin, where the colonies of both powers were required to ship goods through European ports. Dissatisfaction over this prohibition was a key factor in the Louisiana Rebellion of 1768. This convention was agreed to at Versailles on Dec. 27, 1774. Not in Wroth.
