Although Britain and Holland were not at war, Dutch in Java sent 1,400 men to support Nawab Mir Jafar of Bengal, plotting against the British who had put him on the throne after Plassey. With the concurrence of Governor Robert Clive, Colonel Francis Forde attacked the invaders on the Hooghly between Chinsura and Chandrenagore, capturing all seven Dutch ships.
