Dupleix #251302

Dupleix, in 1746. 11 me disait l'autre jour qu'il chercherait un moyen pour en de barrasser la Compagnie. The story of Dupleix's visit to Chandernagore, in 1742, is shown to be a pure myth. On the face of it nothing could have been more im probable than that an official of the Delhi Emperor should have done homage to him, when the relative positions of the Empire and of European traders, at that date, are taken into account, and the journey itself would have been a matter of months.
