A very important relation of the re-capture of the chief port of Florida by the Spaniards, with the Articles of Capitulation agreed upon by the English.

In 1781, an expedition commanded by Bernardo de Galvez re-took it from the English. It is an account of this expedition which is given in the present tract.
