1807.] Notes on Sirdjuddaulah and the town of Murshiddbdd. 87 



In the beginning of 1757, Colonel Clive wrote a letter to Siraj- 

 uddaulah complaining of the Nawab's duplicity in still favouring 

 the French, intimating at the same time his design of attacking 

 Chandernagore. On the 10th March, Sirajuddaulah sent an answer, 

 stating that he was sorry to hear complaints. Without alluding 

 to Clive's intention of attacking Chandernagore, he advised him 

 to do whatever he thought best. The author says :
