[35] The British escort from Kingston was commanded by Major Heathcote of the Nova Scotia Regt.
[36] From Cornwall to Lachine the British escort was in command of Captain Gray of the Quarter Master General's Dept. From Lachine to Montreal Captains Richardson and Ogilvie with three militia companies, and a company of the 8th Regt. commanded by Capt. Blackmore formed an escort.
[37] The line of march in Montreal was as follows:
| 1st. The 8th Regt. Band. |
| 2nd. The first escort division. |
| 3rd. Gen. Hull and Capt. Gray in a carriage. |
| 4th. The American Officers. |
| 5th. The non-coms. and soldiers. |
| 6th. The second escort division. |
[38] Gen. Hull was paroled at Montreal with 8 other officers and left the city for the United States.
[39] The Officers and regular troops of the American Army taken at Detroit and which have no permission to return on their parole arrived at Anse des Meres Friday afternoon escorted by a detachment of the Regt. of Glengary of Three Rivers. The prisoners, with the exception of the officers were immediately embarked in boats for the transports. The officers were lodged in the city for the night and the following day were conducted to Charlesbourg where they will be domiciled on parole.—Quebec Gazette
The Quebec Mercury of Sept. 15th says: The commissioned officers were liberated on their parole. They passed Saturday morning at the Union Hotel where they were the gazing stock of the multitude, whilst they in no way abashed presented a bold front to the public stare, puffed the smoke of their cigars into the faces of such as approached too near. About 2 o'clock they set off by stage with four horses for Charlesbourg the destined place of their residence.
