This was complied with, and on the same evening the town received its new garrison. On the following murning, being the 24th of November, this tew garrison was unexpectedly surprised by leery numerous body of French troops from ljtiecht, provided with some pieces of artillery, and after a smart skirmish, in which some men fell on both sides, taken by storm. 4.
