On the 7th of February, 1763, intimation was sent to the Nawāb Mīr Qāsim 'Alī Khān of the attack on the port of Balasore by some French ships-of-war during which nine sloops were captured. This is one of the last communications received by that unfortunate prince about the affairs of the port of Balasore. On the 3rd of June, 1763, Rāja Sītārām Rāj of Vizianagram wrote to Col. Clive stating that he had defeated Śivarām and Rāja Nārāyaṇ Dev. He was waiting on the frontier of Orissa for English help and promised to send tribute.³
