Hvas there as a visitor. He was charged
with the responsibility of ordering an
assault upon the entertainments and
Notifications of an army, which, if sue
cessful, would have cost at least 5000
men, or of withholding the assault If, in
his judgment, such assault would fail.
No greater discretion was ever given to
any general commanding an army, and
what is more, as will be observed, he was
authorized to accept the surrender,
