September 1783 CE

The Dutch had never captured anything from the British, and only French military action had saved them from losing virtually all their colonies.

They can exercise no leverage over Britain, Spain, France or the United States in the peace negotiations, and do not make a preliminary treaty until September 2, 1783, the day before the other three treaties are formalized.

Britain agrees to return nearly all Dutch possessions captured in the East Indies (the most important of which, Trincomalee on Ceylon, had already been retaken by the French anyway) but keep Negapatnam on the Indian coast, and secure other concessions.
