Article I.
The garrison, comprehending besides the troops belonging to
the artillery and dragoons, the militia of all the places on
this island, shall march out of the Port Gate on the 20th
inst. (if there does not arrive before relief sufficient to
raise the siege) with all military honours, with their
muskets shoulder'd, drums beating, and colours flying, six
pieces of cannon with 12 charges for each, and as many for
each soldier, and the regiments shall carry with them the
military chests; besides which the governor shall have 6
covered waggons, which shall in no manner be permitted to be

Answer. The garrison, consisting of the regular troops and
the dragoons, who shall leave their horses for his Britannic
majesty's service, in consideration of the vigorous and
brave defence of the Moor castle and the Havannah, shall
march out at the Point Gate, with two pieces of cannon and 6
charges for each cannon, and the same number for each
soldier, with drums beating, colours flying, and all
military honours; the military chest refused; the Governor

transport his equipage and effects on board the ship
destined for him; all the militia, as well in the city as
out of it, shall deliver up their arms to his Britannic
majesty's commissary, who shall be appointed to receive
