The Datch in the Baft' Indies, for fome time paft, having had a diflike to the Englifh on account of Salt- petre trade ; in order to gratify their ambitious views, they entered into a combination sgainft Calcutta : and in this treacherous fcheme it appears, by their own con- feffion, that they were to maflacre every Englifhman. They firft procured a commifiion from the Governor of Batavia, which it is faid was granted, and then fitted ou. feven large fhips well manned, having on board a thoufand Europcans and 500 Seapoys, with all forts of implemems of war. The firft breach of friendfhip was by tzking an Englith trading floop. g The next was an attemp: on Calcutta, in the river of Bengal, where they Janded their men, in hopes of ‘taking the place ; but the fort fired fo brickly that 500 of them were {lain, and 500 more taken prifoners.
