Template:Infobox newspaper Bengal Journal was a newspaper founded in 1785 by William Duane and Thomas Jones.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
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.[7][8]
