बाजू घेतल्यामुळे जरी त्यांनी आपले अशा प्रकारें इतकें नुकसान जरून घेतलें, तरी त्यास आलेला शह अजूनपर्यंत तसाच कायम राहिला. तंजावर येथे विपुल संपत्ति आहे, अशी ख्याती असल्यामुळे, नबाब महंमदअल्ली यानें तंजावरवर सारखी नजर ठेविली होती व तो कांहीं तरी निमित्त काढून तंजावरच्या राजाबरोबर तंटा उपस्थित करीत होता. शेवटीं इ० सन १७६२ मध्यें, इंग्लिशांच्या मध्यस्थीनें हा तंटा मिटला. त्यांत, तंजावरचा राजा, हा नबाबाचा मांडलीक आहे, त्यानें नबाबास चार लक्ष रुपये ( दरसाल) खंडणी देत जावी व त्याबद्दल इंग्रजांनी जामीन राहावें, असे ठरले. त्या

The guarantee of 1762, by which the English had undertaken to be responsible for the autonomy of Tanjore, was thrown to the winds.

All these acts of spoilation and breach of faith had been undertaken by the Madras Government on their own responsibility, and in the interests of the Fnglish creditors of the Nabab."
