To prove that this surrender was not in consequence of the want of ammunition and provisions, it is sufficient to state, upon the authority of official information, that there were thirty-three pieces of cannon, twenty-five of which were brass and eight iron, which were well manned and supplied with ammunition.
For the muskets, seventy-five thousand cartridges were made up, besides twenty-four rounds in the cartouch-box of each man.
In the magazine were sixty barrels of powder, and one hundred and fifty tons of lead.
In the contractor’s store were at least twenty-five days’ provision; and in the adjacent country considerable supplies could have been had, besides three hundred head of cattle, under an escort commanded by Captain Brush, at the River Raisin.
