Letters from Vice- Admiral Pocack, dated, Tyger off Cal- cutta, in the River Hugley, 20 Augauft, 1757, bring an Account of the Death of Vice- Admiral Watjon, &y a Fever, on the 165 of the fame Month, and in- ; ;;)a/iag Copy of a Letter from the faid Vice Admiral atfon,dated Keut off Calcutta. 16th of Julyr757, containing the following Advices. Y Capt. Toby, of the King's Fifher Sloop, I informed you, in a Letter da- ted 14th of April, of the Surrender of the Town and Fort Chandernagore ; N P and, in the fame Letter, I took Notice. of the great Reluctance the Nabob Suraja Dowls fhewed to comply with the.Articles of the Peace, on which Subje@ many Letters pafled betweenus. In moft of them, he never failed to be very liberal in his Promifes ; but that was all that, could, be obtained from him.: Thefe Delays to the final Execution of thie Peace was in Effc& the fame to the Commerce of the Kingdom, as if none had been conluded ; and . the Leading Men at the Nabob’s Court, knowing his, faithlefs Difpofition, end perceiving no Probability ; of an eftablifhed Peace in their Countey, while he continued in the Government, began to murmar, and | entered into a Confederacy to divelt him of it. A- mong thefe was Jaffier Ally Cawn, who was one of his Principal Generals, and held feveral other con- fiderable Employments ; but he having been greatly difgufted at the Nabob's repeated ill Treatment, became very zealous in the Confederacy againft him, and commaunicated the Defign to Mr. Watts, the,. fecond in Cauncil of this Place ; by whole Letters of the 26th and 28th of April theCommittee was in- form’d of this Affair, which was debated with all the Attention and Circamipeétion that was poflible ; and after.maturely examining into the Behaviour of the ‘Nabob, who fo far from complying with the Arti- cles of Péace, he had {o folemnly fworn to cbferve, that he would not permit us to put.a Garrifon in Coffimbyzar, and had given ftrict Orders.not to fuffer even 4 Pound of Powder or Ball to pafs up the Ri- ver. Thefe Meafures, added to the certain Accounts wereceived of his having invited M. Bufley, the Breach Commanding Officer in the Province of Gol- conda, to join him withi all the. Troops he could bring, gave us very litle Reafon to believe he had any Intention to continue even oh peaceable Terms with us, longer than he thought himfelf unable to engage in a War againft us. It was therefore judg- ed moft advifeable to join Jaffier Ally Cawn with our Troops, fuch a Step appearing the moft effeltu- al Way of eftablifhing a Peace in the Country, and fettling the Euglith on a goad 4nd folid Foundation. "This being refolved on, aad the following Articles agreed to, our Army marched the 13th of laft Month from Chandernagore towards Cofimbuzar ; and, in order that Col. Chive fhould have as many Euro- eans with him as poflible, I agreed to Garrifon E‘hnndernagore ;and to fend up with kim on the Expedition, a Licutenant, feven Midfhipmen, and fifty Seamen, to ferve as Gunners. I alfo ordered the 20 Gun Ship to anchor above Hoghley, to keep the Cammanication open with the Colonel. On the 19th of Jase, Cutwa Fort and Town, fituated on this Side the River, which forms the Hland of Cof- fimbuzar, was taken by a Party detached for that Purpole. There the Aftny remained two or three Days for Intelligence from Jaftier Ally Cawn, wha, it was agreed by all in ¢he Confederacy, fhould fuc. ceed in the Nabobthip, he being a Man of Family and held in great Eteem by all Ranks of People. The 22d they croffed the River, and the next Day kad a decifive Battle with Suraja Dowla, over whom our Troops obtained a compleat Viltory, put. his Agzmy to Flight, and took Poffefliocn of his. Camp, with upwards of Fifty Pieces of Gannon, and all bis Baggage. He was joined by Fifty French Troops, who worked his Artillety ; and, by the moft authentic Accounts, his Army confited of about tweniy thoofand Fighting Men, exclufive of thofe under the Command of Jaffier Ally Cawn, and Roy Powlab, who did not aét againft us. The Num- ber killed in the Enemy’s Camp were few, as they only flood a Canonading. 'We had about nineteen Europeans killed aad wounded, and thirty Seapoys. Suraja Dowla, after his Defeat withdrew privately ; as did Montoll, his Prime Minifter ; and Monick Chaund, one of sis Generals. On the 2z6th of June, Jaffier Ally Cawn entered tha City of Maxa- davad ; and, by a Letter from the Colonel of the 3oth, we are informed of his having placed Jaffier Ally Cawn in the aricient Seat of the Nabobs of this Province ; and that the ufual Homage had beea paid him by all Ranks of People, as Subah of the Provinces of Bengal, Bahar, and Orixa.—The 3oth late at Night, a Letter came from the Colonel advi- fing that Suraja Dowla was taken Prifoner: And, on the 4th Inftant; he acqgainted the Committee of his being put privately to Death by Jaffier Ally Cawn’s Son, and his Party. The Nabob’s Treafu- ry, upon Examination, was found very fhort of Ex- petation ; however, the Colonel has already fent down One third of the Sam ftipulated in the Agree- ment ; and it is faid as mach more will foon follow as will makeup Half. The other Half is to be paid in Three Years, at three annuoal equal Payments.— Mr. Law, who was the Freach Chief at Coflimbazar, and who had colletted near 20q'French European Troops, was coming to the Affiftance of the late Nabob, and was within afew Hours March of him when he was taken Prifoner ; which Mr. Law hear- ing of, he advaueed no farther, :Soon after the Co- lonel detached a Party in Search of Law, under the Command of Capt. Coote, of Col. Aldercon’s Re- giment, confifting of 200 Europeaps, and g5oo Sea- poys, joined by 2000 of Jaffier Ally Cawn’s Horfe. We cannot yet expe& to hear any Thing of the E- vent of this Detachment’s being fent out ; as it is un- certain how far Capt. Coote may be led after the French Party. ; A few Days ago the Marlborough Indiaman ar- tived here from Vizagapatam, with an Account of the Surreader of that Settlement to the French the 26th of June. The Garrifon confifted of 130 Eu- ropeans, aod 200 Seapoys; and the French {et down Before it with 850 Europeans, and 6coo Seapoys, befides a fmall Body of Horfe.

I is therefore hoped, we fhall take Example by them, and be there as early as the Seafon will permit ; for from our being too late, mott of our Expeditions have failed. We are now informed, by the Authority of Gen. Sh y himfelf, that the Lofs of Olwego was owing to a Jobb ; and that the Troops defigned for its De- tence were delayed becaufe they would not take their Provifions from the old Contra&tor, Befides what Forces the French have at Cape Bre- ton, they have now about 80ooo Regulars and Ca- nadians in Arms in America, exclufive of Indians; who are very numerous, and continually increafing. Itis therefore abfolutely neceflary to rebuild the Fort of Ofwego, without which no lafting Peace can be eftablithed, nor any Trade carried on with Safety with the Indians. Feb. 14. According to fomé Letters from the Hague, it has been lately debated in the Aflembly of the States General, whether they fhould not iffue Letters of Marque and Reprifal for Depredations committed on the Veflels of the Republick’s Sub- jeéts by Britith Men of War and Privateers ? .But- the queftion paffed in the Negative by a very fmall Majority. Some of the cooleft Heads in the Affem- bly reprefented that fuch a Step (tho’ juft in their Opinion) would be very ill timed ; and at laft, it was refolved that Remonftrances fhould be made to the Britith Court, in order to get aur Commanderé of Men of War and Privateers provided with fach Inftructions for future Behaviour, as may let themt clearly fee what Godds in Neutral Bottoms are to be deemed contraband. Complaint having been made of vaft Quantities of Englith and Irith Beef, and other Provifions being carried abroad in Dutch Bottoms, under Pretence of going to their Settlements, to furnifh the French; efpecially from the Irith Ports, and the Ifle of Man, an Inquiry will {foon be made into the fame, and Meafures taken to prevent it.
