ABSTRACT
The capitulation having been signed, the hostages received, and doolies sent for the sick and wounded, the garrison marched out of the fort, with the honours of war, on the twenty-eighth of April, 1783, and after piling their arms on the glacis, were immediately escorted, by a strong body of the enemy, to a tank about half a mile beyond the Onoregate, where the General was informed he must encamp that night, to which he reluctantly consented, it being his intention to have marched two miles farther.
