From Saturday May, 13th, to Saturday May, 20th, 1780. [No. XVII]
Extract of a Letter from Gohud dated
19th. April 1780.
AFTER giving an
account of the prin-
cipal Body of the
Mahrattoes, which
had long with impun-
ity infested that Coun-
try, by a detachment
from Captain Pophams Army Com-
manded by Captain William Bruce,
has the following observations. Our
Troops behaved nobly and with the ut-
most coolness not discharging a single
piece till we were within pistol shot of
the Enemy, who soon sled with the ut-
most percipitation leaving about 300
Kill'd and 700 Wounded in the Field
while our loss only amounted to the in-
confiderable number of two kill'd and 6
wounded. The behaviour of our men
was if possible more commendable after
the action than before or during it,
when they had the mortification of
seeing the valuable plunder, the Mahrat-
toes in their haste left behind them the
whole of which fell into the Hands of
the Ranas's Rable, tho' undoubtedly
it was the right of these good soldiers
who had the whole honour of the vic-
tory. It must be acknowledgad how-
ever that the merit of this good conduct
of our Men is principally due to their
Officers who persuaded them to stand
to their Arms, giving them all the
assurances in their power that such be-
haviour should be subseqeuntly re-
warded; for the sepoys remonstrated at
at first saying that they had received
promises of Prize Money in the Battle
against the Rohillahs, none of which
being yet performed, they were under
the necessity of doing themselves. Justice
according to the customs of War but the
confidence they had in the declarations
of their Officers soon superceded these
considerations. I hope this will be a
hint to those it concerns to consider these
brave fellows, most of whom have been
in the service for many years and have,
by their fidelity and good conduct appro-
ved themselves deserving of every reason-
able indulgence.
Pray is it intended that any Field-
Officer is to be destined for this Com-
mand. I dare say it Occasions much
Heart burnings among the Field-Offi-
cers below.
It is reported that the Rohillah Prize
money is to be paid soon.—can you
inform me of the certainty of this? It
would be very agreeable intelligence to
communicate to the Troops here, who
think it very hard that they who have
the sole right to the plunder which is
taken should alone be denied it.

" AN Action upon a Policy of
"Insurance against an Un-
"derwriter of goods Shipped at Bar-
"badoes for London was tried before
"Lord Mansfield when it appearing
"that the Ship was not Sea-Worthy to
"to undertake the Voyage the Cause
"was determin'd in favor of the Insurer.
"By this decision it appears that when
"a Ship proceeds on a Voyage for
"which she is not sufficient. all Poli-
"cies of Insurance whether on the
"Ship or Goods are discharged, and
"that it is to the Owners of the Ship
"the Owners of the Goods on board
"must in that case apply for the satif-
"faction of their Losles.
Respondentia, being a species of In-
surance of a partial Nature, the Lend-

Custom of Merchants from particular

Mr. EDITOR,
IF I am not misinform'd, the Gover-
nment have very wisely issued an
Ordinance that Sicca Rupees shall be
received the Legal Currency of the two
Provinces of Bengal and Bahar. A
more real benefit could not surely be
done for the inhabitants of all denomin-
ations in this Country save the money
exchangers who may Justly be compar-
ed to Sweaters and Clippers of Coin
in Europe, for not apiece of Money is
exchanged by them without the dimun-
ition of some Batta which is in effect
depriving its Proprietor equally as filing
the piece of Coin) The Order has no
effect at this Place, or its obedience is
not enforced. It is but a short time
since a Seapoy complaind of a Bazar
Fellow, who refesed to give him the pro-
per exchange for his Sicca Rupee, and
the consequence was, that for several
days all shops here were Shut: till they
were satisfy'd by the Issue that they
might travel on in their old way of im-
position with impunity, thus People of
every denomination are now sufferers.
On the light Gold being about to be
called in, in England in 1773 a general
Clamor ensued, but when it had taken
place, the Public conveniencies were so
many. That the Ministers was sound
to have done the greatest good imaginable
to every individual of the nation. The
The course of exchange with Foreign
Countries become more in our Favour
&c. &c. Public receivers were appoint-
ed to take in all light gold at a certain
rate andevery Guinea, &c. was to be of
a particular weight to be current. The
like regulations might go a great way to
remove. the evil of a variety of Coin,
in this Country. Prohibit all species of
Coin to be current save Sicca, Rupees
and their fractional parts and you im-
mediately reduce every other to an arti-
cleof commerce, then to accomodate the
Holders of such silver appoint Persons
at surdry Places to receive it at a certain
value to be paid th m in Sicca Rupees
and this furnishes the Country Immedi-
ately with Current Space. recoin the
Prescribed Silver which will pay its own
charges, &c. &c.

POET's CORNER.
SIR,
The following Prologue was spoken on
the Madrass Stage before the Tragedy of
the Battle of Hastings a few Nights pre-
vious to the Departure of Sir Thomas
Rumbold. Theatricus,
SCORCH'D, tho' you are, by
Indias baleful Heat,
This Night the Terrors of the
clime forget,
To Native Lands awake the Thought
anen,
Recal'd to Life your rude Fore-
fathers vien;
Small were the Blots which staind their
sacred Name,
Where Love was Virtue, and to win
it, Fame,
Where private Feuds to public calls
retird,
And Britons cause each Patriot Bo-
som frd;
Mark well their Actions undisguised by
Art,
And deep engrave the comment on
your Heart,
Yet e'er the Breezes fill the swelling
sail,
E'er yet we hear the parting, last
Farewell,
Let him the Tribute of our Thanks
receive,
Who taught again the expiring Arts
to live!
Who bid the Stage its drooping
Strength resume,
And saded Scenes revive their wonted
bloom;
Who rouz'd from Sloth and taught
your breasts to glow,
With useful Mirth and salutary
Woe:
But rest we here; in vain would seeble
Art,
Describe the motions of a grateful
Heart,
Proceed then, Sir, with Honours justly
grac'd,
In native climes substantial pleasures
taste;
Go, reap those Joys (the greatest, Man
can prove)
A Nations Plaudit, and a Monarchs
Love;
For us, when Comedy with wreathed
Smile,
Shall laugh at Folly or from Vice
beguile,
When Tragedy shall thrill the feeling
Soul.
Plunge the drawn Steel or drain the
fatal bowl,
With willing Minds we'll pay the
Tribute due,
Convinc'd our Pleasures drew their
Scource from you.
Prayer to Venus from Horace.
OH! Venus! Joy of men and
Gods,
Forsake for once thy blest abodes,
And deign to visit my Lands,
On thy fond Vot'ry kindly Smile,
Quit Paphos, and the Cyprian Isle,
To reign o'er my Daak Island,
Thee, Goddess, Thee, my prayers in-
voke,
To thee alone my altars smoke,
O treat me not with rigour!
Thy wanton Son bring with Thee, too,
My Dying embers to renew,
And give me back my Vigour.
Bring too, thy Graces to my Arms,
Girls that are Prodigal of Charms,
Of every favour Lavish;
Melting and Yeilding let them be,
Consider, I am sixty three,
And that's no age to Ravish.
Let florid Youth attend thy train,
Much wanted by the crazy swaln,
And gentle Venus, Prithee
To Crown thy Gifts and case my pain,
Since Ward has labour'd long in vain,
Let Mercury come with thee.
