This treaty was signed on I4th May 1759. * The consequences of this expedition were very important, as tending to distract the enemy when besieging Madras. Including prisoners and the corps under Moracin, at least one thousand Europeans and nearly three thous- and native troops were subtracted from Lally's force by the effects of Colonel Forde's success. By this expedition also Lally's strength was materially weakened for subsequent operations, and, perhaps most important of all, it destroyed t...he French connection with Salabat Jang and raised the military reputation of the English in the Deccan above that of their European rivals. Besides all these advantages the occu- pation of the fort and dependent districts of Masulipatam was of itself a valuable object. This possession was annexed to the Presidency of Fort St. George. As soon as the afore-mentioned treaty was signed, Colonel Forde paid a visit to Salabat Jang in his camp, the results of which can best be told in his own words, when writing a letter to Clive and the Select Committee of Bengal on 1 4th June, 1759.
