The Calcutta Review September 1860

1860

These orders were but the repetitions of former ones which the Governor had received with silence and disregard much to the annoyance of the Diretors ; but Clive was intent upon his scheme of reform the pro-. 4iihition of presents and the better remuneration of the civil servants and he looked to the trade monopoly to affect it. [...] The place was bombarded ; and during that time the bsieged made offers of ransom ; but Labourdonnais wanted to show all "Idia the spectacle of French colours flying from the richest of the English settlements and he proposed to be satisfied with a moderate ransom and to restore the settlement to the English if they would yield up the place for a time. [...] He took the adz vice and on the afternoon of the 20th June 1756 the two Mende found themselves with the others of the captives on a met =. march to the Black Hole. [...] This proposal being approved by the Council a deed between Lord Clive and the Company correspondent with the oath was executed and registered in the Mayor's Court by which the Gvernor bound himself to the faithful performance of every clause in the penal sum of £150 000 to be forfeited in case he should act contrary to that indenture ; one-third to the informer and two-thirds to the Company [...] While such arts were employed to influence the mind of the Nabob of Oude the war upon the coast had drained the Treasury of Bengal and the most alarming accounts were industriously spread of the instability of the Company's affairs.
