Is it true the British heavily downplayed their defeat in Cartagena?

From reading your link over, it appears that the War of Austrian Succession (and its Americas equivalent of King George's war) started quite soon thereafter. I suspect the general military land actions were considered way more important than a single Naval battle (dominated mostly by Yellow Fever) fought out in the middle of nowhere that mostly just preserved the status quo.
The overall conflict this was a part of appears to be known as The War of Jenkins' Ear. If nothing else, I think the name gives you an idea of how important the conflict was considered.
