The expedition had cost the Company Rs.68,372 in hard cash.

The inability of the landing force to advance beyond range of the ships' guns bears witness to their military incapacity.
His short experience of six months under the Company had completely disgusted Alexander Hamilton.

Immediately on his return to Bombay he resigned his post as Commander-in-Chief of their ships-of-war, and resumed business as a private trader.

His relations with the military officers during the expedition appear to have been satisfactory, but against Taylor, the head of the Carwar factory, he formulated a series of charges, accusing him of having been the cause of the trouble with the Rajah, through his indiscretion and bad faith.

Taylor retaliated by accusing Hamilton of not having taken proper measures to relieve the factory.
