that the proposal was declined al Mad
rid.
Few people are aware that during the
hundred years that elapsed after Sir
George Rockies capture Of Gibraltar the
English government made no less than
six deliberate offers 20 restore that
stronghold 70 Spain. On the first occa-
sion, Great Britain asked nothing in ex-
change for the fortress. save the friendly
neutrality Of Spain. But King Philips
premier. Cardinal Alberoni. was so intOxi-
Gated with his sense Of power, after hav-
ing completed his alliance with Charles
XII Of Sweden. that he proudly rejected
the proffered gift.
In imagination he saw his friend the
Stuart pretender already enthroned at
St James. When that was accomplish
ed, he would take the Rock Of Gibraltar
or anything else that he pleased from
England. Charles MIS- death, the de-
struction Of the Spanish feet by Lord
Torrington off the coast Of Sicily. were
followed by the cardinals own downfall
One Of the offers TO surrender Gibraltar
was contained in an autograph letter
from George 1 10 King Philip V. which
bears the date Of June ], l72l and which
is preserved in the archives at Madrid,
while a copy Of it is printed in the jour
mails of Parliament Written in French,
II runs as follows:
Il no longer hesitate 10 assure your
with regard 10 your demands touching
the restitution Of Gibraltar. promising 10
make use Of the first favorable oppor-
tunity to regulate this article with the
assent Of my Parliament"
Spain could not understand that with
the sovereign and the administration in
London ready 20 restore Gibraltar TO
Spain, there should be any need Of con-
sidering the. national legislature AZ West
minister in the matter. and finally insist
Cd upon immediate restitution or war
The latter was declared. and fin III the
rock underwent an unsuccessful siege,
which lasted four months. Yet. in spite
of the bravery Of the defence. Lord
Townshend. in the following year. writ
ing 10 the English envoy az Madrid. in
a letter Of June Il. IT'S. pronounced the
unconditional surrender Of Gibraltar
very reasonable. and exactly conform
able TO the opinion which you know I
have always entertained concerning the
place"
He adds that the popular feeling arous-
ed by the defense stood In the way just
then Of any such move.
The fifth OFFER 10 surrender Gibraltar
was made by no less a person than Will
lam Pitt in l757 when he directed the
British ambassador at Madrid TO offer
Gibraltar 10 Spain, as the price of a
Spanish alliance. TO be contracted with
the object Of recovering possession Of
Minorca from France The Oner was
again rejected by Spain.
The sixth and last offer 10 surrender
Gibraltar was made in 1888, during the
negotiations that preceded the treaty OF
Versailles. when Lord SheIburue offered
Gibraltar 10 Spain. in exchange for Porto
Rico. While Spain welcomed the pros
pect Of regaining Gibraltar. fl did not
relish the prospect OF reliuquishing Porto
Rico, and again the proposal was turned
down az Madrid.
