The successes of the Dutch against the Portuguese have already been described. After the decline of the Portuguese the Dutch still had their fortified factory at Vengurla, but do not appear ever to have come into collision with the English in the Konkan. There was always however great jealousy between the two nations, and in the treaty concluded with the Marátha state in October 1756 the first article provided that the Dutch should be excluded from the Marátha dominions, and another article forbad their admission to Dánda-Rájápur.¹ In 1767 they are said to have wished to have a factory at Bassein, and still later the jealousy between them and the English at Surat and elsewhere was very strong.²
