On the 2d arrived an officer from the Marquis de B[ ] with
an account of his having taken castle Lern on the 1st, the
garrison. . . [3 lines] Last night the half moon of
Fontarabia was attacked and carried: this night the place
surrendered:
The garrison is to be conducted to Pampalona; to march out
without beat of drum or colours flying, but to be allowed
four shot a man; no covered waggons allowed tho' demanded
with much earnestness. We expect to morrow night a
reinforcement of seven battalions, and then we shall advance
towards the Spanish army.
