The British occupation of Manila lasted 18 months until the city was returned to Spain in April 1764 according to the 1763 Treaty of Paris. News that it had been lost did not reach Spain until after the cessation of hostilities between the two powers. Oidor Don Simon Anda y Salazar had been dispatched to Bulacan in order to organize Spanish resistance. There, he organized an army of 10,000 Filipinos under the command of Jose Busto in Pinagbakahan, Malolos. During their time in the Philippines, the British found themselves confined to Manila and Cavite in a deteriorating situation, unable to extend British control over the islands and unable to make good their promised support for an uprising led first by Diego Silang and later by his wife Gabriela, which was crushed by Spanish forces. The British expedition was rewarded after the capture of the treasure ship Filipina, carrying American silver from Acapulco, and in the action of 30 October 1762 the Spanish ship Santísima Trinidad which carried goods from China bound for Spain. The ship's capture made both men wealthy and to such an extent that they could retire back home on the prize money alone. Parliament thanked Draper and Cornish on 19 April 1763. Cornish was made a Baronet of Great Britain, and Draper eventually received a Knighthood of the Bath.
