They were Denis Prieur, late Collector of the Port of New Orleans, several times Mayor of the city, and one of the most sagacious, enlightened and intel- ligent public officers whom the city and State have ever employed, and a Scotchman by the name of McGillvray. After remaining together for some time, these two gentlemen agreed to separate. McGillvray was to en- deavor to escape by the river, and Prieur through La- coste's field. Accordingly they parted. Prieur advanced towards the right, keep...ing under cover of a fence until he thought he was beyond reach, and then started in full run across the field. He had not gone far before coming to a ditch ; he leaped it, and suddenly found himself surrounded by twenty British soldiers, to whom he surrendered. McGillvray was captured after being wounded. These were the last captures of the British. Prieur, who was a Creole, was taken to General Keane's headquarters, where the General held a long conversa- tion with him, and endeavored to impress upon his mind the idea that the British did not come to Louisiana to wage war against the ancient population, but to oust the Yankees, who had no right to the country, and ought not to be tolerated by the Creoles.
