General Murray's Account of the Siege of Fort St. Philip; Articles of Capitulation, and Returns of the state of the Garrison and Artillery. An original article from The Annual Register for 1782.

The Siege of Fort St. Philip was a significant military event during the American Revolutionary War, taking place on the island of Menorca in 1781-1782. General James Murray, the British commander, defended the fort against a combined French and Spanish force led by Duc de Crillon. Despite being heavily outnumbered, Murray and his garrison held out for several months before surrendering. The Articles of Capitulation outlined the terms of surrender, ensuring that British troops were treated with dignity and allowed safe passage. The Returns of the state of the Garrison and Artillery provided detailed records of the forts condition, including troop numbers, supplies, and weaponry at the time of surrender. This account offers a firsthand perspective on the siege and its aftermath. 8 pages. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right.
