The Englifh, jealous of the con- peaion and friendfliip which, for a long time reigned between my Cir car and France, have united them felves to the Mahrattas, to th Ni ram Ali Khan, and to my other enemies, for the purpofeof declaring war ag&inft me -a war as odious and unjuft, as that which had lafted for fome years before,' and which was attended with fuch fatal confe quences to me, by taking from me my fineft provinces, three chores and thirty lacks of rupees. The Republic is not ignorant of any of thofe unfortunate cirrumr fiances; and of my having endea voured to difpute every inch of ter ritory, which I was forced to give up to our common enemy. 1 fhould not have been compelled to make thofe cruel facrificcs, had I been affifted bytfhe French, my ancient allies; who,, deceived by the per- ndtous projects 01 Governor Crenera I Conway, at Pondicherry, togetlier withi GovUtnor Campbell, at Ma dras, agreed to the evacuation of ' W 1 the place which they commanded. The French Republic, by expelling the Englifh from their rich pofTef- tns in India, will certainly repair e faults of their ancient povern. - o ment. v ' Animated for along time by thefe fentiments, I have communicated them to the government of the Ifle of France, through the medium of two ambafTadors, from whom I have juft had the high fatisfaaion of re ceiving fuch anfwers as I wifhed for; as well as the Republican co lours from the Chief of Brigade Ch ippins; and the Naval Captain Du.Bec, who. have brought to me iuch fuccours in foldiers and offi cers as circumftances havepermittcd General Malartie and RearAdmiral Sercey to fend me.

It is very common in Europe for a power whicp. has been at war with its neighbour, to become its friend and ally. You " have been at war with the Baeha. I feel the hncereit conviaion that every , refentment fhould be forgotten ; that all former dilputes fhould be configned to ob livion, and that it is the duty of the two Princes to enter into a treaty of alliance and friendfliip, in a way olid and-fuitable to their reciprocal interefts. Were 1 in India, 1 fhould give you, as well as the Sul taun, fuch fubftantial grounds or that proceeding, that I am confident my wifhes would be fulfilled; but it will be peculiarly your glory to unite thefe two powers. You are the counsellor and thefriend of your King; you direa his affairs fo d- vantageoufty, that if you ,find this alliance profitable (and I do not doubt that you will) it will be iuf- hcjent for you to propofe it to him, and the two Princes will leadilv come to a good unaei ftanding. Should my hopes be gratified in this refpedf., my joy will bc compleie; for you will be confidered our ally, in becoming that pf a Prince, who has for a long tjirstc united with France. i I pray HeaVen to grant you. long and happy days; and that thofe of your King may be prosperous, is the fincere wifli of your fcrvant and friend, ' MAL DECOMBRE.
