In 1740, General Oglethorpe, the Governor of Geor-\\ngia, laid regular siege to the place, planting his batteries\\non Anastasia Island and bombarding the fort for thirty-eight\\ndays. He failed to force the Spaniards to surrender, and\\nretired. The city passed into British possession, by\\ntreaty, in 1763, and held a British garrison during our\\nRevolutionary war.
