French defeat at Hydrabad reshapes eastern power
The Nizam welcomed 14 000 sepoys and 500 French officers who built a French army near Hydrabad. British detachments under Colonel Roberts surrounded the camp in November and compelled surrender of 12 000 French troops. The treaty bans French residence or service at the Nizam’s court, bolstering British possessions in the east. The Calcutta Gazette corroborates the capitulation and shifts in regional alliance.
