In 1740, the War of the Austrian Succession broke out in Europe. Great Britain was drawn into the war
in 1744, opposed to France and its allies. The trading companies of both countries maintained cordial
relations in India while their parent countries were bitter enemies on the European continent. Dodwell
writes, "Such were the friendly relations between the English and the French that the French sent their
goods and merchandise from Pondicherry to Madras for safe custody."[3] Although French company
officials were ordered to avoid conflict, British officials were not, and were furthermore notified that a
Royal Navy fleet was en route. After the British initially captured a few French merchant ships, the
French called for backup from as far afield as Isle de France (now Mauritius), beginning an escalation
in naval forces in the area. In July 1746, French commander La Bourdonnais and British Admiral
Edward Peyton fought an indecisive action off Negapatam, after which the British fleet withdrew to
Bengal. On 21 September 1746, the French captured the British outpost at Madras. La Bourdonnais
had promised to return Madras to the British, but Joseph François Dupleix withdrew that promise, and
wanted to give Madras to Anwar- ud- din after the capture. The Nawab then sent a 10,000- man army to
take Madras from the French but was decisively repulsed by a small French force in the Battle of
Adyar. The French then made several attempts to capture the British Fort St. David at Cuddalore, but
the timely arrivals of reinforcements halted these and eventually turned the tables on the French.
British Admiral Edward Boscawen besieged Pondicherry in the later months of 1748, but lifted the
siege with the advent of the monsoon rains in October.[2]
With the termination of the War of the Austrian Succession in Europe, the First Carnatic War also came
to an end. In the Treaty of Aix- la- Chapelle (1748), Madras was given back to the British in exchange
for the French fortress of Louisbourg in North America, which the British had captured. The war was
principally notable in India as the first military experience of Robert Clive, who was taken prisoner at
Madras but managed to escape, and who then participated in the defence of Cuddalore and the siege
of Pondicherry. The French retained their position as the protectors of nizams of Hyderabad.
