14 Oct 1756:31 (2)
From the St. James's Evening Post, July 27, 1756. From the
London Gazette. Articles of capitulation agreed upon
between Marshall Richelieu and Lieutenant General Blakeney,
for the Garrison of the Castle of St. Philip.
I. The noble and vigorous defence which the English have
made, having deserved all the marks of esteem and
veneration, that every military person ought to shew to such
action; and Marshall Richelieu being desirous also to shew
General Blakeney the regard due to the brave defence he has
made, grants to the garrison all the honours of war that
they can enjoy under the circumstance of their going for
embarkation, to wit, firelocks on the shoulders, drums
beating, colours flying, twenty cartouches each man, and
also lighted match;
