[Proposed terms of capitulation at Fort St. Philip, February
4, 1782] Answer. The garrison shall be prisoners of war:
but in regard to the constancy, valour and great defence by
General Murray, and the garrison, the said garrison shall go
out, holding the firelock on the shoulder, drums beating,
match lighted and flags flying . . . [3/4 column on other
terms.]
So soon as the King received the news of so glorious an
event, he ordered immediately a public thanksgiving to the
Lord of Hosts; and a Te Deum was sung in the King's chapel,
and a general illumination was exhibited during three
nights.
