The siege of Pondicherry was a colonial military operation in the early stages of the French Revolutionary Wars. Britain and France both controlled colonies on the Indian Subcontinent and when the French National Convention declared war on Britain on 1 February 1793, both sides were prepared for conflict in India. British India was centred on the principal ports of Bombay, Madras and Calcutta, administered by the East India Company. French India was governed from Pondicherry (modern Puducherry) on the Coromandel Coast. British forces in India were considerably stronger than the French, with the British Indian Army supported by British Army detachments and a Royal Navy squadron under Rear-Admiral William Cornwallis. Pondicherry's defenses were strong, but the garrison was too small to effectively man the walls, and although a French frigate squadron was stationed at the distant Île de France, it was unable to effectively protect the French Indian coast. News of the outbreak of war took five months to reach the Indian Ocean but British forces, recently engaged in the Third Anglo-Mysore War, were mobilised in preparation and immediately seized the ports of French India. Only Pondicherry was able to resist, and a siege was instigated on 1 August 1793 by Colonel John Braithwaite while Cornwallis imposed a naval blockade. British forces constructed trenches and batteries, often under heavy fire, over the following weeks. Twenty days after the city was cut off, Braithwaite began a bombardment of the defences. Within hours the French commander Colonel requested a truce, followed the next morning by an unconditional surrender. Осада Пондичерри (англ.

Gran Bretagna e Francia controllavano entrambi delle colonie nel Subcontinente indiano e quando la Convenzione Nazionale francese dichiarò guerra alla Gran Bretagna il 1 febbraio 1793, su entrambi i fronti ci si preparò a battagliare in India. L'India britannica era incentrata sui principali porti di Bombay, Madras e Calcutta, amministrati dalla Compagnia delle Indie Orientali britanniche. L'India francese era governata da Pondicherry (moderna Puducherry) verso la Costa del Coromandel. Le forze inglesi in India erano considerevolmente più forti di quelle francesi, col supporto non solo del British Indian Army ma anche del British Army e da distaccamenti della Royal Navy con uno squadrone al comando del contrammiraglio William Cornwallis. Le difese di Pondicherry, per contro, erano molto forti, ma la guarnigione locale era troppo piccola per poter far fronte al nemico e per giunta lo uno squadrone di fregate francesi più vicino era d'istanza a Île de France, troppo lontano per poter proteggere la costa dell'India francese. La notizia dello scoppio della guerra impiegò cinque mesi per raggiungere l'Oceano Indiano ma le forze inglesi, da poco coinvolte nella , erano già state mobilitate e pertanto ebbero un considerevole vantaggio su quelle francesi. Solo Pondicherry fu in grado di resistere all'avanzata degli inglesi e ne conseguì un assedio che perdurò dal 1 agosto 1793, condotto dal colonnello mentre Cornwallis impose un blocco navale in loco. Le forze inglesi costruirono trincee e batterie d'artiglieria spesso sotto pesante fuoco nemico. Venti giorni dopo la città era sconfitta e Braithwaite iniziò il bombardamento delle sue difese. Nel giro di qualche ora il colonnello Prosper de Clermont, comandante delle forze francesi, chiese la resa.
