The Dutch, upon receiving the Nabob's order, folemnly promiled to o bey it; and declared that the velfel came in, by accident, for water and provifions, being driven by ftrefs of weather befide the fort of Nagapatnam, to which he was bound; and that both veffel and troops fhould quit the river, as foon as they had taken in their refreshments. an i A detachment of our troops, however, joined with thofe of the FouxA daar,took poffeffion of the fort of Tar na, & the battery of Charnoe, which lies over-against the fort, with orders tó ftop and vifit all veffels that should pals; parties were alfo fent out, on both fides the river, to prevent any foreign troops from advancing by land. In confequence of thefe orders, all Dutch veffels were brought to,and those without troops were fuffered to pafs But one Zuydlands, an officer of the Dutch company, having refufed to bring to and be vifited, he was detained prifoner fome hours, and then, with the veffel, difcharged by the Gover nor's order; eighteen Puggoles were found concealed on board this veffel; who were alfo difmiffed. Against thefe tranfactions, the Dutch factory at Cbinfura remonftrated; and we replied, that we were authorized as principals, it all veffels going up by, the cuftom and law D of nations, the river, as they might introduce French troops into the country; and that, as auxiliaries to the Great Mo gul, we were bound by treaty to join his Viceroy in 'oppofing the introduc Etion of any European troops into Bengal In the beginning of October the Nabob vifited the Governor at Bengali and, during his ftay, feven or eight o ther large Dutch veffels arrived, lower down the river, full of European fol diers and Buggofes; fome days after Fwards they began to come up the tiver; and the Dutch, at the fame time, were very bufy inlifting men of all forts at Chinfura, Caffembuzar, and Patna. Our Governor then ordered the Calcutta, the Duke of Dorfet, and the Har 4''Disputes between the English and Dutch E. India Companies and English forces came to a general action on fhore; and the action being decifive in our favour, the Dutch prayed a ceffation of hoftilities, and propofed terms of accommodation. A treaty was entered into, and things A brought to a speedy and amicable iffue. They difowned the proceedings of their hips down the river, owned themselves the aggreffors, and agreed to pay costs and damages; upon which the veffels we had taken were restored. Hardwick, the only veffels in the river, to come before the town; he reinforced Tatna and Charnoe, and mounted heavy artillery there, and on the faces of the new fort which commands the river; and the militia were put under › arms. B The Dutch, as foon as they thought themselves in a condition to act, remonftrated again; and threatened to make reprisals, if we perfifted to vifit their fhips, and prevent their troops from coming up the river: We anfwered, that we had infringed none of their privileges; but that it was the Nabob's business to judge what was fit to be done with refpect to their introducing troops into Bengal; that it was under the flag of the Mogul, and by his troops, that their vellels had been vifited, and the troops prevented from coming up; and that, C therefore, they were to apply to his Viceroy, we being ready to interpofe our good offices. Upon this, the Dutch commenced hoftilities lower down the river, by faring ball on our veffels, feizing feveral of them, pulling down our colours, and taking our people prifoners. They began also hoftilities on land, by taking down our colours at Fulta and Reapou, and burning the houses and effects of the company's tenants. Governor Clive acquainted the Nabob with these proceedings; adding, that, as it was against us the Dutch had commenced war, he ought to confider the quarrel as fubfifting only between them and us. Three days afterwards, the young Nabob came down with 7000 horse; upon which the Dutch, in great ter-` ror, requested Governor Clive to intercede for them, which he did; and the Nabob pardoned them upon the following conditions, to which they agreed: 1. Never to make war in the country. 2. Nor introduce, nor enlift troops, nor build forts there. 3. Nor keep on foot more than 125 foldiers, for the fervice of their factories at Chinfura, Ceffembuzar, and Patna: And, D 4. To fend away all their veffels and troops immediately, upon pain of being expelled the country. Every thing was now got ready for action, and the first blow ftruck against the Dutch was the taking poffeffion of Barnagore. The Dutch veffels, in the mean time, advanced with their captures and prifoners; and our three veffels that followed them had orders to pafs them, and take post above the batteries; where every measure to destroy the Dutch fhips, if they fhould venture to país, was taken; but the Dutch commandant threatened the veffels, that, if they paffed, he would fire into them, G On the 21ft of November, the Dutch debarked 700 Europeans. and 800.Buggofes. On the 24th, reftitution of our veffels was demanded, and refufed; upon which we attacked their fleet, and inirely defeated it. The fame day, the Butch attacked Col. Ford on fhore, and were there alfo repulfed with lofs. The next day, the 25th, the Dutch The REPLY to this CHARGE is to the E The Dutch did fhip troops at Batavia, in June 1759; but even allowing that this armament was projected a gainst Bengal, the English had no reason to imagine it was projected against them; for the Dutch have many fettlements at Bengal of great importance, for the protection of which, they are obliged to maintain troops there; which are increased, or diminished, as F circumstances require. The Governor of Batavia therefore had a right to fend the neceffary complement of troops to Bengal; nor could any umbrage be jufly taken at it by the English. An addition of troops was then neceflary, becaufe, during the war of the English against the French and the Pr. of Tanjour, the Dutch, though they obferved the ftrictett neutrality, fuffered greatly from the violence of the contending parties, of which many inftances are given. H That thefe troops were not intended against the English at Bengal, appears from their going firft to Coro mandel, where a reinforcement was also neceffary. That the Englife had no right to ftop and vifit the Dutch veffels; and therefore |
