The siege of that place had been a long time carried on, with various hopes of success, and was now redu- ced to a blockade. On the 22d of January past, t3ie laboratory for bombs had taken fire, which in an instant blew up the whole house, and the magazines adjoin- ing, to the great terror of the garrison, of whom near 2000 were entirely lost. General Gzeremetoff had after this offered very honorable conditions to general Stromberg, the governor, to induce him to surrender ; but the intrepid Sw...ede returned to those civilities only from the mouths of his cannon, expecting, but in vahij to be relieved by sea.
At last, on the 29th of June, being the feast of St. Peter, whose name his czarish majesty bears, when the general officers were at dinner with field-marshal Czeremetoff, the Swedish governor sent out one to no- tify that he desired to capitulate, and would send out deputies for that purpose. The next day the field-mar- shal sent into the town for hostages, two colonels and an auditor ; and his Coaches brought back to the camp 11 hostages from the town.
