This was confirmed afterwards by the Treaty of Madrid, made on the 13th of June, 1721, between his Catholic Majesty and King George I of Great Britain, in which by Article 2 it was agreed*[Arredondo note * Article 2, literally copied from the Treaty of Madrid] that his British Majesty would "expedite the necessary orders to his governors for the fulfillment of the agreement between the two crowns in the Treaties of Utrecht, particularly as to whatever may not have been put into execution in regard to the points regulated by Articles 8, 11, and 15, which make mention of leaving to the Spaniards the free commerce and navigation of the Western Indies, and of maintaining the ancient boundaries of America as they were in the time of King Carlos II, etc. 66. [Bolton note: The words of the treaty are as follows: "As in like manner shall be given, on the part of his Britannic Majesty, the orders which shall be demanded and judged necessary for the accomplishment of everything that has been stipulated and agreed between the two crowns in the above-mentioned treaties of Utrecht; and particularly as to what may not have been put in execution of the points settled by the eighth, eleventh, and fifteenth articles of the treaty of peace, which mention the leaving to the Spaniards the free commerce and navigation to the West Indies, and the maintaining the ancient limits in America, as they were in the time of King Charles II," etc. (Chalmers, George, A Collection of Treaties between Great Britain and Other Powers, II, 210. A French version of the treaty is in J. Du Mont, Baron de Carels-Croon, Corps Universel Diplomatique du Droit de Gens, Tome, VIII, Partie II, p. 34.)]
