The British Empire's army landing on the border between Florida and Mississippi could not be concealed from the Texans who had extensive spy networks, nor from the intelligence personnel of European nations.
Although the French forces had long withdrawn from Louisiana, it was still their former colony, leaving a considerable number of spies behind. The events happening here had been swiftly placed on the desk of the Bourbon Family's Emperor.

The French still claimed that this reckless move could threaten French interests and dispatched the Sun King and a main fleet stationed at home to the Spanish Kingdom's colony, Havana Port.
