Wikipedia Overview
The affair of Porto Novo was a successful attack by the British East India Company and French Indies Company on a newly founded factory of the Swedish East India Company at Porto Novo in South India on 20 October 1733. The president of Fort St. George, George Morton Pitt, had been alerted to the newly established factory at Porto Novo, and after failing to convince the Nawab to prevent the Swedes there from conducting trade contacted Pierre Le Noir, the French governor of Pondicherry. After making an agreement, they sent a force of several hundred men led by Captain de la Faralle down the coast towards Porto Novo and attacked the warehouse, with the Swedes surrendering a day after the attack.
