A. Wellesley, whom I had sent for, for this 
purpose, from -his command in the country, 
where he had distinguished himself in a man- 
mer so honourable to himself and so advanta- 
geous to the public, was appointed, with Sir 
Home Popham and Lieutenant-Colone! Mur- 
yay, to prepare and sign articles of cap} ‘tula- 
tion; and those officers having insisted on 
proceeding immediately to business, the capi- 
tulation was drawn up in the night between 
the 6th and 7th. 
The ratification was exchanged in the course 
ef the morning, and at four in the afternoon 
of the same day, Lieutenant-General Burrard 
roceeded to take possession, 
The British grenadiers present, with de- 
tachments from all the other corps of cavalry 
and infantry, under the command of Colonel 
Cameron, of the 79th regiment, with two 
brigades of artillery, marched into the citadel, 
while Major-General Spencer having ‘em- 
barked his brigade at the Kalk Brandiere, 
Janded inthe dock-yard, and took possession 
of each of the line of battle ships, and of all 
the arsenal; the Danish guards withdrawing 
when those of his Majesty were ready to re- 
place them, and proper officers attending to 
deliver stores as far as inventories could be 
made up. 
The town being in a state of the greatest 
ferment and disorder, I-most willing} y acced- 
ed tv the request that our troops should not 
be quartered in it, and that neither oilicers or 
€oldiers should enter it for some days; and 
having the command of possession from the 
citadel whenever it might be necessary to use 
it, I had no objection to leaving the other 
gates in the hands of the troops of his Da- 
nish Majesty,*together with the police of the 
place, Your’ &c.
