The Bengal Journal began publishing articles in support of the [[French Revolution]] and an unsubstantiated report of the death of [[Lord Cornwallis]] during a campaign against [[Tipu Sultan]]. The [[Governor-General of India]] [[John Shore, 1st Baron Teignmouth]] shut down the paper for libel against the French royalist government in exile in Calcutta.<ref>Phillips, Kim T., "William Duane, Philadelphia's Democratic Republicans, and Origins of Modern Politics," ''[[Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography]]'', Vol. 101 (1977), pp. 365–87.</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://site.ebrary.com/id/10495567|title="The tyranny of printers": newspaper politics in the early American republic|first=Jeffrey L|last=Pasley|date=1 January 2001|publisher=University Press of Virginia|accessdate=9 September 2016|via=Open WorldCat}}</ref> <br />
