Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gibraltar and Its Sieges: With a Description of Its Natural Features Gibraltar was captured in the same year in which the battle of Blenheim was won. While the Duke of Marlborough was leading his tr00ps to the Rhine, the Archduke Charles, who had assumed the title of King of Spain, had landed at Lisbon, with the view of taking the command of an army collected on the western frontier of the kingdom to which he laid claim. This army was composed of contingents furnished by England, the Netherlands, and Portugal; but it was prevented from making any progress by the military genius of the Duke of Berwick, natural son of James II., who was at the head of the Spanish forces. At the Opposite ex tremity of the Peninsula, an effort Was made to provoke a rising of the Catalans on behalf of King Charles. For this purpose, a division of five or six thousand men was placed under the command of the Prince of hesse-darmstadt, who embarked at Lisbon in May, in an English fleet of which Sir George Rooke was the admiral. The expedition landed at Barcelona, but found the people indisposed to welcome or support it. It was, therefore, re-embarked and Rooke, sailing down the Mediterranean, passed through the Strait, and effected a junction with the fleet under Sir Cloudesley Shovel. The two admirals were unwilling that so powerful a force Should return to England without accomplishing something; and a council of war was held on the 17th of July, at which several schemes were proposed and discussed - among others, an attack upon Cadiz. This, however, was deemed imprudent with so small a body of troops; and at length it was decided to strike a swift and vigorous blow at Gibraltar. The strength of the fortress was well known; but it was equally well known that the garrison was weak, and that the Spaniards relied too confidently on the assistance supplied by Nature.
