A somewhat unorthodox engagement. The French were a single battalion garrison plus a few hundred sick and wounded. The attackers were Spanish Irregulars [Guerillas] supported by and supplied with weapons from the British frigates H.M.Ss. Lively and Venus. The French surrendered on terms that they should become prisoners of the British. A large amount of military supplies and Soult's military chest containing over £6,000 were captured.
