Surrender at Valenciennes Ends Siege in 1793
The exchange of capitulation terms between General Ferrand and the Duke of York closes the Valenciennes siege. The town and citadel will surrender with honours of war, garrison officers regain property, and civilians are protected under Metz-like terms, while troops begin withdrawal and prisoner exchanges are arranged.
