Two of the articles we ' re very important , namely the surrender of themselves and arms , and their giving up all the runaway slaves who had joined them in rebellion , Notwithstanding the Treaty I had not the smallest confidence in their sincerity , and every preparation was made to continue the War with unabated vigour . Three weeks having elapsed without any apparent intention , on the part of the Maroons , to fulfil the Treaty , I ordered the Honourable Major-General Walpole
to move forward , on the 14 th instant , with a strong column of regular troops . He had only advanced some yards when a message was delivered from the Matoon Chief , begging that no further hostile step should be taken . As we had experienced much duplicity and evasion , it was judged expedient to move slowly on , and the line of march was so arranged as to give the Maroons an opportunity of coming in with safety . This had the desired effect . The Maroons , to the number of five hundred , sur-endered themselves , and were conducted within our posts , including those whom I had formerly secured , I have in my possession near six hundred .
