They hesitated over the demand for hostages, and at length required Ali's grandson, Hussien Pacha, in exchange.

After many difficulties, Ali at length consented, and the agreement was concluded.

The Suliots received five hundred thousand piastres and a hundred and fifty charges of ammunition; Hussien Pacha was given up to them, and they left the Ottoman camp at dead of night.
Morco Botzaris remained with three hundred and twenty men, threw down the palisades, and then ascending Mount Paktoras with his troops, waited for dawn in order to announce his defection to the Turkish army.

As soon as the sun appeared he ordered a general salvo of artillery and shouted his war-cry.

A few Turks in charge of an outpost were slain, the rest fled.
