By Letters from Fort St. David's, dated Feb. 27, and brought by the Warwick Indiaman, there is Advice, that Captain Clive had obliged the French and their Allies to retire from before Arcott, killed a great Number of Men, and put the rest to Flight. That the English under Major had drove the French from before Trichenapali. That two Nabobs in the French Interest had come over to the English with a great Number of Men, and that the French in their Return were surrounded, and were in great Distres for Want of Provisions. These Letters add, that M. Dupleix had sent Proposals to the English for an Accomodation, in the Preamble of which he set forth, that he had only succoured the Indians that used to him for Assistance, and hoped that every Thing would be settled to the mutual Satisfaction and Advantage of the two Companies, and that all Animosities and Hostilities would cease.
