farther CHARGE brought by the Dutch Eaft-India Company against that of Great Britain. (See p. 168.)

[ocr errors]

HO' the extorted convention of the 3d of December 1759, A with the Englifb, and that of the 5th of the fame month with the Nabob, were highly oppreffive & injurious to the Dutch Company, yet Caffim Cham, one of the Nabob's com- B manders, not fatisfied with these conventions, came on the 11th of February following, before the Company's Fort Auguftus with a great army, and cut off all provifions from the inhabitants, upon pretence that the Dutch had, by letter, promifed to affift the fon of the Mogul against the Na-C bob; which letter had been intercepted and given to the Nabob by the English: Caffim Cham, foon after he had invested the fort, gave orders that all the cutworks fhould be razed, and demanded a large fum of money, by Iway of penalty. The Dutch, having denied the charge, and remonftrated in vain, were compelled to raze the outworks of their fort, and to buy off farther acts of violence, by paying 50,000 florins.

In the month of April following, the Dutch were accufed by the Nabob of levying men, and confpiring with his enemies; upon which he fent for the chief of Cafembuzar, and demanded, by way of contribution, the fum of 500,000l. the perfon who attended for the chief was fecond in command, the chief being ill; and having in vain endeavoured to convince the Nabob that the charge was falfe, and To divert him from his unreasonable -demand, he was himfelf put under

arreft, the company's factory at Caffonbuzar was invested, and eleven can

non planted before it; the Dutch therefore, to prevent its deftruction, were obliged to pay 200,000 fteri promifing, at the fame time, to difcharge a few feapoys, whom they had taken into their pay to fecure their effects against the Marattas, and to fend their other troops to Hughley.

Thefe promises they fulfilled; but the Nabob ftill continued to invest their fettlement; and when they urged him to withdraw them, he faid, "That it was not in his breast, but in that of the English." When the Englife were queftioned, they anfwered, "That they were informed the "Dutch correfponded with their ene"mies; that they defigned to make <head against them and the prince; " and therefore it was natural they "fhould prevent them." The Dutch endeavoured to convince the Nabob, and the English, that the charge against them was falfe, but without effect; the English were inflexible, and the Moorish troops could not be made to withdraw, but under promife that commiffioners fhould be fent to Cal

Dcutta, to terminate standing differences with the English.

E

During thefe tranfactions with the Moors, Mr Bildom, the Dutch chief, received a letter from Mr Holwell, who then acted as prefident at Calcutta, in which, under the appearance of friendship, he advised him "to fatisfy all the "Nabob's demands, and fubmit to "whatever he thould require, as they "were not in a condition to refilt; "adding, that it was unneceffary to "mention the difagreeable part "which the English would be neceffiF" tated to take in the differences of

"the Dutch with the Moors, and how "ardently they wished to act as me"diators:" He alfo added fome pro pofitions for an accommodation which, with the letter, were answered in a proper manner.

company infift, that the English are reciprocally bound by fuch treaties and that their treaty with the Nabob, fo far as it has engaged them to act in a hostile manner against the Dutch, fhould be cancelled, in the first place; and that fatisfaction be made them for what they have already fuffered. by it:

Mr URBAN,

Two commiffioners, however, were fent to Calcutta, on the 29th of May, who, after fome months, were conftrained, under the guaranty of the prefident and council of Fort William, to make another treaty with the Nabob, in winch, among other hard conditions, violently forced upon them, it was stipulated, "that the Dutch should, "whenever the Nabob fhould require "it, permit one of his officers, ac"companied by one of the English, to "muster or vifit their troops and mi"litary ftores, at all their factories, 66 or take fuch other method as should "be agreed upon to affure the goverr nor and council of Fort William of "the number of Dutch troops, and "quantity of their flores, that they, "as umpire between the Dutch and "the Nabob, might give the Nabob C *a fatisfactory anfwer as to the fee peux vous remercier de ma curity of his country."

Thus, by the alliance of the Engif with the Moors, the Dutch are retrained from fecuring their fervants and poffeffions from violence. Besides, the English pay no toll; but share, as well the toll paid by other nations, as the income of the country; so that the great men among the natives, being deprived of their ufual revenues, endeavour to supply the defect by acts of oppreffion and extortion committed against the Dutch, whom they know to be unable to refift, and confequently under a neceffity of complying.

The English fill keep the falt-petre trade in their hands exclufively, and even prevent the natives from fupplying the Dutch with cotton cloths. The English private traders and smugglers alfo, having laid it down as a rule, that they may lawfully fail "to, and trade at all places where it "has pleafed God that water fhould
