In a few days after this conference Oglethorpe returned to Frederica.
On the latter part of September he renewed the commission of the Honorable Charles Dempsey, impowering him to state to the Governor of St.Augustine terms for a conventional adjustment of the misunderstanding between the two Provinces.

This he eventually effected, and a treaty was concluded on the 27th of October following, much more conciliatory, on the part of the Spaniards, than he had expected.

This, however, proved ineffectual, and the pleasing anticipations of restored harmony which it seemed to authorize, were shortly frustrated by a message from the Governor of St.Augustine to acquaint him that a Spanish Minister had arrived from Cuba, charged with a communication which he desired an opportunity of delivering in person.

At a conference which ensued, the Commissioner peremptorily required that Oglethorpe and his people should immediately evacuate all the territory to the southward of St.Helena's Sound, as that belonged to the King of Spain, who was determined to vindicate his right to it.
