Memorial from Spain seeks neutral mediation in European war
A memorial to the States General, dated November 14, 1719, from Marquis Beretti Landi, Spain's minister, pleads for sincere and cordial peace. He argues that a Spanish settlement must be neutral and rejects an alliance that threatens Spain’s honor and commerce, warning the States General of potential disruptions to trade if they join against Spain.
