[Footnote 31: A French doctor, who has left an account of the
Revolutions in Bengal, says there were eight outposts, and that the
loss of one would have involved the loss of all the others, as they
could be immediately cut off from the Fort, from which they were too

were Haillet (doctor), La Haye (surgeon-major), Du Cap (second), Du
Pré (third), Droguet (fourth), and St. Didier (assistant).]

[Footnote 32: M. Vernet, the Dutch Chief at Cossimbazar, wrote to

treaty from the Nawab's secretaries, if he wished for it.]
