theold batteries at this place were strengthen
ed and new ones thrown upon the 18th
of February these batteries were opened up
on the fort and on the 25th the French com
mander capitulated. It is also stated, tha,
the surrender OF the fort was accelerated by
the accidental explosion of the powder ma
pazine, which also destroyed the water CTS
tern. The British troops were commanded
by Gen. Bcckwith. There was but on
French frigate at Fort Royal, and sec wa
