This old chataigne

As the article points out, more a case of two hussar officers riding out across the ice for a polite chat with the Dutch Admiral who had orders to offer no resistance.

Morever Lahure's superior officer général Vandamme was a Dutch former naval officer who was delighted to find the situation resolved when he arrived to take the surrender a couple of days later.
