Such were the last operations of any magnitude performed by the belligerents during the season ; for while the one party esteemed it prudent to pause till the arrival of a long-promised armament from Europe, the other were not averse to husband their re- sources against the danger with which they knew themselves to be threatened. One of the first measures of the French govern- ment on the breaking out of war in 1756 was to prepare a formidable force, with which to carry on operations with vigou...r and effect against the English settlements in India. A squadron of four ships of the line, with a frigate and an armed cruiser, belonging to the East India Company, was placed under the order of the Count D'Ache, a seaman, as was believed, of great courage and considerable experience. A land force, compre- hending one thousand and eighty men of the regiment of Lally, fifty artillerymen, and many officers of distinction, was embarked on board of the squadron ; and the chief command of the whole was given to the Count de Lally, the 106 BRITISH INDIA.
