Excerpt from The History of England, From the Revolution to the Death of George the Second, Vol. 5 of 5: Designed as a Continuation of Mr. Hume's History
K ordered the polls to be occupied in the Blackotéwn, 'or fuburbs of Madras. In the morning of the fourteenth, the enemy marched with their whole force to attack this place the Englilh detachments retreated into the garrifon and'within the hour a grand fally was made, under the command of Colonel Draper, a gallant officer, who fignaliied himfelf remarkably on this occafion. He attacked the regiment of Lorrain with great impetuotity and in all probability would have beat them off, had they not been fufiained by the arrival of a freih brigade. After a very warm difpute, in which many officers and a great number of men were killed on each fide, Colonel Draper was obliged to retreat, not altogether fatisfied with the conduét of his grenadiers. As the garrifon of Madras was not very numerous, nothing farther was attempted on their fide without the works. In the mean time.
