When the events in the West Africa Colony were relayed back to mainland Spain, the matter of the French Fleet flaunting their power in the Spanish Colony also became known to other European citizens.
Of course, this was not due to someone in the West Africa Colony leaking information.
Mainly because the West Africa Colony was previously composed of colonies from the United Kingdom and Portugal, it is populated with a large number of European citizens, making it impossible for Spain to block the information unless forcibly controlling the internal spread within the colony.
The good news is, the time at which other European countries and citizens received the information was later than Spain. Carlo had enough time to address this unexpected event, at least time to prepare adequately.
For this public provocation by the French, Carlo did not intend to tolerate it in any manner.
