During this whole period and just like in the failed first siege of Montevideo, supplied from over the sea, the city held out, until May 17, 1814. Then, the naval victories of Admiral William Brown, cut off the supply route and the city faced starvation. By the end of June, Vigodet was forced to surrender Montevideo to General Carlos María de Alvear.
