Chandannagor (Chandarnagar) alias Farashdangah, is twelve karoh distant from Calcutta. The factory of the Christian French is situated there. It is a small town on the bank of the river Bhagirati. There is a French Chief there. He is the administrator of the affairs and mercantile concerns of that town. The English Chiefs have no authority there. Similarly at Chucharah (Chinsurah), the Dutch hold authority. Chucharah, or Chinsurah, which adjoins the port of Hughli, is to the south of that port, and is one karoh to the north of Chandarnagor. And similarly Chirampur (Sirampur) is on the banks of the same river, opposite to Chanak (Barackpur). The factory of the Danes is there, and it is also called Dinamarnagar. In these places, besides the owners of the factories, no one else has authority.
