This army consisted of the <a href="/wiki/73rd_(Perthshire)_Regiment_of_Foot" title="73rd (Perthshire) Regiment of Foot">73rd</a> and 78th Highlanders, the <a href="/wiki/101st_Regiment_of_Foot_(Royal_Bengal_Fusiliers)" title="101st Regiment of Foot (Royal Bengal Fusiliers)">101st regiment</a>, and a considerable body of <a href="/wiki/Sepoys" class="mw-redirect" title="Sepoys">Sepoys</a>.

They were between the sea on the right and the Bandipollum hills on the left, with a <a href="/wiki/Military_reserve" title="Military reserve">reserve line</a> in the rear. The French and Mysoreans, commanded by <a href="/wiki/Marquis_de_Bussy-Castelnau" title="Marquis de Bussy-Castelnau">Marquis de Bussy-Castelnau</a>, took an intermediate and parallel position half a mile (0.8 km) in front of the fort. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Attack_on_the_redoubt">Attack on the redoubt</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Cuddalore&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Attack on the redoubt"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On 13 June, Stuart decided to attack the redoubt in front of the fort in order to press the allies harder within Cuddalore itself. The assault took place at four in the morning, granting the British army an element of surprise. Eventually, the allies were driven from their principal defences and the last allied counterattack was defeated. By mutual consent, a <a href="/wiki/Ceasefire" title="Ceasefire">cessation</a> of firing took place. The allies suffered serious losses of nearly 500 casualties. Stuart's forces also suffered heavily: more than 900 British, Hanoverian, and Sepoys were killed or wounded. Though significantly weakened, Stuart continued to besiege Cuddalore proper and prepared for further reinforcements from the sea. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Naval_Battle">Naval Battle</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Cuddalore&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Naval Battle"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Cuddalore_(1783)" title="Battle of Cuddalore (1783)">Battle of Cuddalore (1783)</a></div> <p>Key naval support for the British was interrupted on 20 June by the arrival of a French fleet under the <a href="/wiki/Pierre_Andr%C3%A9_de_Suffren_de_Saint_Tropez" class="mw-redirect" title="Pierre André de Suffren de Saint Tropez">Bailli de Suffren</a>, which met the British fleet in a <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Cuddalore_(1783)" title="Battle of Cuddalore (1783)">naval battle</a> and forced it to withdraw to <a href="/wiki/Madras" class="mw-redirect" title="Madras">Madras</a>.

Stuart, aware of the newly arrived French reinforcements, prepared for a major attack. On 25 June, the French made repeated sallies on the British lines. Despite some initial progress, the French were not able to press their advantage; Stuart was able to counterattack and repel the remaining French assaults. De Bussy called off the attack after realising no progress had been made at a considerable cost. The assault was a disaster, and De Bussy had lost a great opportunity in defeating the besiegers, especially with the reinforcements he had received. French morale plummeted as they had lost the advantage in numbers and the balance had swung back in favour of the besieging British. The British had no more than 23 men killed and wounded, while De Bussy's attacking force had 450 killed and wounded with another 150 taken prisoner. A number of French officers were captured including the leader of the assault, the Chevalier de Dumas, who was captured unwounded. Among the French prisoners was a young sergeant in the French marines who was also wounded and had landed from Suffren's squadron on 20 June; <a href="/wiki/Charles_XIV_John_of_Sweden" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles XIV John of Sweden">Jean Bernadotte</a> became a <a href="/wiki/Marshal_of_France" title="Marshal of France">Marshal of France</a> and, more famously, was later crowned the <a href="/wiki/King_of_Sweden" class="mw-redirect" title="King of Sweden">King of Sweden</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="End_of_the_siege">End of the siege</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Cuddalore&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: End of the siege"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The siege continued for another five days. Both sides were weakening from disease and growing casualties, but Stuart's forces suffered more heavily than De Bussy's. Stuart wrote letters to the Madras government asserting that he had been abandoned. De Bussy planned another attack by a more circuitous route directed at the main camp of the British forces, but this attack was not carried out before a British frigate arrived on 30 June with news of a preliminary peace between France and Britain. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Aftermath">Aftermath</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Cuddalore&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Aftermath"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On 2 July, Britain and France negotiated a cessation of hostilities, although the war between Mysore and Britain remained ongoing.
