By Fire and Bayonet : Grey's West Indies Campaign Of 1794

I have the happiness to acquaint you of the complete conquest of this very valuable island, the last and most important fortress of Fort Bourbon having surrendered to his Majesty's arms at-four o'clock in the afternoon of the 23d instant; at which time his Royal Highness Prince Edward, major general of his Majesty's forces, took possession of both gates with the first and third battalions of grenadiers, and the first and third light infantry: And I have the honour to transmit to you the articles of capitulation... The navy acquitted themselves with their usual gallantry (particularly Captain Faulknor, whose conduct justly gained him the admiration of the whole army) ... I send five stand of colours, laid down by the garrison, together with the two colours of Fort Bourbon, to be presented to his Majesty. The gallant defence made by General Rochambeau, and his garrison, was strongly manifested on entering Fort Bourbon, as there was scarce an inch of ground untouched by our shot and shells; and it is but justice to say, that it does them the highest honour.
