After the capture of Gibraltar, Sir G. Rooke proceeded to the coast of Malaga, where he attacked, 14 Aug. 1704 (old style), the French fleet under the command of the Count de Toulouse. On the third day the French retired, the affair ending in a drawn battle; the French, however, claimed a victory. The Count de Toulouse was a natural son of Louis XIV., b. 1678, d. 1737. This is probably a centenary medal. 435—436. Queen Anne's Bounty, 1704. _Obv._ Bust of Queen l., laur. and draped. ANNA D. G. MAG. BRI. FR. &c. I.

By letters patent, 3 Nov. 1703, Anne restored to the Church such portion of the "First Fruits" and "Tenths" of the larger benefices as still formed part of the revenues of the Crown.

The armies of France and her allies having suffered many severe defeats during 1704, Louis XIV. early in 1705 made proposals of peace, to be submitted by Switzerland to the Allies.
