It was not long after this, that _Meer Jaffeir Aly Cawn_, a Person of great Distinction, who had married the Sister of _Aliverdy Cawn_, the Suba's Grandfather and Predecessor, sent one in whom he could perfectly confide to Mr. _Watts_, to disclose what were his real Opinions, and how very short a Space he thought was like to intervene, before the Suba took the Field once more, against the _English_. This Person had it farther in Commission to represent, that the Disaffection of the principal Officers, Civil and Military, was in a manner general; that _Meer Jaffeir_ never appeared in the Suba's Presence, without Fear of being assassinated; and that for this Reason, whenever he was constrained to go, he always caused his Forces to be drawn out, under Arms, with his Son at their Head. In the Close of his Discourse, he added, that a Determination was already taken, to depose, for their own Sakes, _Suraja Dowlat_; and that if the _English_ would engage with, and promise to support, another Person, in assuming the Dignity of Suba, _Rahim Cawn_, _Roydoolub_, and _Bahadar Aly Cawn_, were ready to join _Meer Jaffeir_, in removing _Suraja Dowlat_, whose Affairs would be then in a very desperate Situation. Mr. _Watts_ transmitted the Detail of this Conversation also to Colonel _Clive_, and gave it as his own Opinion, that _Meer Jaffeir_ was by far the properest Person to be elevated to that Rank, as his Abilities were greater, his Reputation better, and his Connections more extensive than those of _Laitty_. He at the same time acquainted the Colonel, that if this Change was to be accomplished by their Forces, as he much doubted, whether, after all, the _Moors_ had Spirit enough to attempt so extraordinary an Enterprize themselves, it would be right to form the Outlines of a new Agreement, of which the old one ought to be the Basis; and to frame such additional Articles, as might effectually indemnify the Company for the Risk they ran, and procure an ample Satisfaction for the Losses private Persons had sustained, in the Devastation of _Calcutta_, of which no Care had been taken in the former Treaty; and that, in short, nothing should now be omitted, that might put their Affairs for the future upon a firm and stable Establishment; so that, in case of Disturbances in the Country, the Servants of the Company, and those who depended on it, might be in a Condition to protect themselves.
