HICKY's BENGAL GAZETTE; OR, Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None, From Saturday June, 3d. to Saturday June, 10th 1780. [No. XX] BENGAL. Extract of a Letter from Caunpore the 28th May 1780. I HAVE nothing to relate to you from these parts but an account of a most terrible storm that happened here the 16th Inst. accompany'd by a dreadful Fire. It began about half past two in the Day, and continued until four without the smallest intermission, and exhibited the most horrible scene that I ever beheld, and can only be compared to what may be expected at the general Conflagration. It was as dark I think as ever I remember it any one Night of my life, and nothing was there to be seen but Fire and Lightning; whole Choppers of an immense size were carried up into the Air all in Flames. It consumed sixteen Bungalaws belonging to the different Gentlemen who did not save the smallest Article, besides God-owns, Stables and other small Buildings with Horses, Bullocks Camels, &c. &c. and there was scarcely a Boat on the River that escaped either sinking or being dashed to pieces against the Shore.—The poor black Troops have suffered much by it and their situation is now truely miserable, they being only on half Batta—Pro-vissions of all Sorts a hundred per cent dearer than within the Provinces, and they are always kept three Months in Arrears, so that being obliged to borrow from mercenary usurers at an exorbitant interest for their daily subsistence, it reduces their pay to a very small pittance indeed, and makes the field station which was formerly their happiness to obtain, now the severest scourge to them. By Letters from the COAST. IT'S reported that Captain James Bracey in the Ship Betsey is taken by the Niars and carried into a River at Mutingar between Tilacherry and Callicut; It's supposed he went there for Papper and they had detained him ashore as the Niars about Tilacherry are yet very troublesome and must be spurr'd on by Hyder as the Prince of that Country and the Cotiootes are Tributary to him; There is no great Fear but she will be delivered up again after the Rains, the Moonsoon is now set in, she cannot get out; The Betsey must be taken in this manner as they have no Marine, by last Accounts from the Mallabar Coast, by a Person who left Hyder's service we learn that Hyder has at different Ports no less than twelve Ships of War Building one of them at Annore and almost ready for lanching will carry 50 Guns. The Portguse Ship arrived at Madras left Lisbon the latter end of Oct. last; At that time the English and French Fleets were in port; and that the Dutch was going to send England 12 Ships of the Line, and Russia 25; The English Cruizers and Privateers was very successfull on the Spanish coast, and made several very Valuable Prises, some of them had been brought into Lisbon, And that the Warwick of 50 Guns 350 Men Capt. Snake Hammond in his way to Gibralter had taken a French Ship called the Salitaire of 64 and 537 Men commanded by Capt. Le. Teber after an Engagement of 7 Glasses and carried her safe into Gibralter. The Warwick had only 17 men Killed and 5 wounded the French lost their Captain 53 Killed 107 Wounded 22 died of their Wounds before they got into port; the Pearl Frigate in Her passage from Gibralter to Lisbon where she was comming to take the convoy for England took a Spanish Ship Pierced for 60 Guns had but 24 Guns mounted; she is a fine new Ship she was on her passage to Cales, from Carthagina where she had been Launched, called the St. Michael. The Ferret Sloop of War, from the West-Indies which brought the News of the loss of the Island of Granada; fell in with a French privateer off the Eddystone called the Le Lutine of 22 Guns and carried her into Spithed; the Ferret brings Account that the Inhabitants of the Granada being mostly French would not, turn out to oppose the Enemie but gave them every Intelligence and assistance, it's hoped the Island will be once more in our hands and they will suffer as they Richly deserve it; the Island of St. Dominico was given away in the same manner. Admiral Rodney Sail'd from Plymouth 1st. of Sept. for the West-Indies, with a strong squadron and 2 Regiments under the command of Gen. Melvil; In a hard Gale of wind a French frigate called the Comete of 32 Guns was lost on the Wolf rock, only the Boatswain and 3 men saved. Several Wrecks has been discovered near the Lizard and, about the Lands-end. The Boatswain says that the Cammelle of 36 Guns the Broglio of 32 and the Marquis de La Chartres of 12 Guns was in Company when the Gale begun he saw the latter with her Main Mast gone about one hour before they struck, and thinks they all must have shared the same fate. CALCUTTA Monday Last. BEING the King's Birth Day, the Morning was ushered in with the firing of the great Guns from the New Fort accompanyed by several Vollies of small Arms, and the Hon'ble Governor General gave a very elegant, Entertainment to the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Presedency the grand Hall was finely Illuminated, and the whole seemed much enlivened, by an excellent Band of Musick, there were present the Hon'ble the Governor Gen. and Lady, the Lords, the Kings Judges and Ladies, and several other Persons of Rank and Distinction the Ladies were all dressed with ease and elegance, and the Evening concluded with a Ball, which was opened by Col. Morgan. And the Governor General's Lady. A Poor Woman who gets her lively-hood by selling of flowers, was suddenly taken in labour at the House of an Armenian and at which place she was safely delivered of two fine Boys much owing to the humanity of the Mistress of the house, who rendered her every assistance in her power the Children are likely to do well. On Monday last two Burrs loaded with straw took fire after the following manner, they were both lashed together as usal on those occasions, and were at an Anchor, the Tide being full against them a dead corps drove between them and there stuck, a lighted lamp having been put into a Cuggeree pot which was set a float from one of the Gauts where the Gentoo's Wash drove also between the two Burrs, the corps stopped it and the loose Straw which hung down from the Burrs took fire before it was discovered; the Crews of the Burrs being asleep one Man was lost in attempting to swim to the shore, and the straw and both the Burrs were entirely destroy'd. We learn that the Dutch at Batavia has fitted out four 60 Guns Ship and are fully Manned, but for what service it's not known.

On Monday last the Chariot of Sam Chucker butty a Sarcar was drove over a poor man in the Suba-Baazar and killed him on the spot, the poor Man has left a Wife and two helpless Children, and the matter we hear has been hushed up for twenty Rupees. Query, is not the Charriot and Horses in such a case forfeited to to the Lord of the Mannor. Happy must be the fate of Europeans in a very few years, when at this present period they will dispute the passage with you, and if you don't immediately get out of their way their servants will abuse your bearers in the most insolent manner, calling them every Name they think proper. On Wednesday Evening last during the time of the High wind a passage Boat with fifteen passengers was overset a little this side of Chitpore and three of them were lost. A few Nights ago, four men Armed entered the House of a Moor-man near Churingee and carried off his Daughter, a very handsome Moor Girl whose Husband is now at sea. We are informed that the COMPANY's Madeira Wine, sold last Wednesday, from 550 to 630 and was principally purchased by William Watts Esq: on Commission. Madras 14 May 1780. The Prime Europe Ship Captain Dundass is arrived at Madras from Bombay. gives an account that the Mahratts destroy'd all the Country round Col. Goddards Army but will not offer to look at him. We hear that the Dutch Ship which carried the passengers taken in the Osterly from the Cape is lost on Flushing and several of the passengers and Crew perish'd. The 5th. of June, Mrs. Antonio gave a very Grand Ball at her house the Company was very splendid and the House well lighted the Company did not break up till Morning. Madras 16th May 1780. Since I Wrote you last we have got Accounts that as soon as Captain Bracey landed the Niars took him Prisoner then manned several Doneys the people was Armed with Muskets and Lances, but the Officer on board seeing the Boats come off in that manner defended himself and kept them from boarding weighd Anchor and got safe into Tilacherry Roads and was there when the last Accounts came away but it's thought she will lay the rains in Burapatnam River in the Company's districts. Arrived in Town Henry Cottrell Esq; Governor of Dacca, and was present at the Entertainment given by the Governor General in Honor of his Majestys birth day. Also Mr. and Mrs. Wood of the same place. On Tuesday last Sir John and Lady Day set off for Chinsura with a grand Retinue, on a Visit to his Excellency Governor Ross. The Coachman of Henry Richardson Esq; one of the Audaulet Councellors dropt down Dead suddenly on Sunday last at Chinsura just as he was mounting the Box. We Hear there are several treaties of Marriage on foot which promise the Supremest felicity.— The consumation of which is postponed only till the weather is a few Degrees cooler. From the many sudden Deaths which have happen'd lately, Gentlemen should be extreamly cautious not to eat too freely, during the continuance of the intence heat.--- The Surgeon of an Indiaman expired in the street after eating a hearty dinner of Beef the Thermomiter was at 98. We are informed that two of the private Men belonging to the Aritillery, who served the Guns the Kings Birth Day, are since dead owing to the intence heat of the Weather, one of which died that night the other the next morning Died. A few Days ago Mr. Thompson, a Cadate. On Saturday Night last died one of the Invalids belonging to the Old Fort. And a Sunday another was found dead in the street. their deaths are supposed to be owing to the great quantity, of new Piarh Arrack which they drank. DEATHS at MADRAS MAY the 7th.

THE Merchandise is not prohibited, and if warranted inviolate, the Resentment is surely Equitable, are they not concientiously blameless that excercise a Trade or calling among the very Species from whom they learned it? or have they not an undoubted Right to live by that Acquisition, which incapacitates them to look another way, yet I realy belive the most common Prostitute under the face of Heaven however Tranquil may seem her Countenance, in Secret mourns her unhappy Lot, and envying the seat of Virtue, wishes she had been Chaste; How mean then, how inglorious, or rather how infamous must be the Declaration of a Dying Man that admits of Free Agency, and Supposes himself a Capital Pillar, to charge his ruin on a weak unguarded Woman? yet it is almost general without an Exception, that all men forced out of this World, have raised all its lustre, which from the Sacred Casket they have stolen, and endeavour to extenuate their Guilt, and exonorate their Consciencies, by proclaiming Females the absolute cause of their Destruction. Shew me a Woman base in Practice and Principle, And debased in Character, and if I don't convince you that man has Solemnly manumized and married that frame to join Issue in the Conjecture; If I do how unpardonable is it to challenge Abhorrence, as an Attonment for their Crimes, the very Object they have worked to frailty? Can there a man be select'd in a thousand that has not used false flatering Arguments, lies and Oaths to quench an Iniquitous carnal Fire at the expence of the everlasting Happiness of the innocent Creature since fully beloved? and shall they afterwards so far derogate from their boasted Superiority, as to admit of Conquerors defaming the vanquished Victor, and tax them with Blood? Tis a Sham full scandalous excuse at any Hour abstracted from the last. To be Continued. Mr. EDITOR, LED by the hand of Fate from Christendom to the Land of Pagons, and transported from the North of great Britain to the South of Bengal, it appears to me, my former and present manners differ, nearly in the same degree, as the the two climates; and that the Oriental Morality differs from the Hyperborean, as much as heat from cold, and darkness from Light. It is not for me to determine which is best or worse. While I remain in this Paradisal region, it is sufficient that I conform, to it's Customs; never affecting singularity, and keeping in mind the maxim of the Apostle, "Cum Romæ, Romanus eris", which, to apply to my own case, I would construe, "While you are in Paradise be an Angel."--- Upon these Principles, and not from any Respect I bear to Mahomed, I make it my Practise, which I beg leave to recommend to other good Christians, in the Heat of the Day to seek the Solid shade, when Thirst is troublesome to quaff at the limpid fountains of Ice, and as often as possible, to repose upon the Bosom of the Virgins of Paradise fair as the Lily and sweeter than Jessamine.

**POET's CORNER.** Mr. Hicky. SIR. By inserting in your Poets Corner the following trifles, oblige Your Correspondent, Selim. Epigram on a scolding Wife. MILLS, Wheels and Hammers lay aside your noise, For ye are whispers to my spouses voice: She drowns the noise of Mills, of Wheels, of hammer's I wish that She would drown herself G—d D—m her. On LOVE. LOVE's no irregular desire. No sudden start of raging pain, Which in a moment grows a fire, And in a moment cools again. Not found in the sad Sonneteer, That sings of Darts, despair, and Chains; And, by whose dismal verse 'tis clear, He wants not heart alone, but Brains. No --- Love is something so divine, Description wou'd but make it less: 'Tis what I know, but can't define; 'Tis what I feel, but can't express. On MARRIAGE. IN Wedlock are two happy days allow'd A Wife in wedding Sheets, and in her Shroud; How can a Marriage State, then, be occurst'd, When the last day's as happy as the first. A Tradesman in London having some words in a Tiff with his Wife she took Pen Ink and Paper, and laying them on the Bellows composed and Wrote the following Song. 1. I Write to true Briton's, I mean not the Men But to Women of Spirit to do all they can, To stand for their rights, as they would for their lives, And prove to the World that they are true British Wives. Derry down, &c. 2. May each Girl that wants spirit be wed to a Churl, Let such be insiped, and Stupidly dull, Be grave and look Gloomy, till you can provoke. Some Chat that may end in an innocent Joke. 3. Shall we tamely to turbulent spouses submit, Who only find fault because they think fit, When my husband turns turk and can prove I've no soul, I'll be blindly obedient, nor dare to Controul. 4. Since our Men are great heroes and Conquer their foes, Shall we Women want Courage one man to oppose. Since our Sires and our offspring, can fight one to ten, Let's prove ourselves worthy of brave British Men. 5. In ages long past, from a great Eastern King, That woman was strongest good proof I can bring, Then if we, with a British King plac'd on the throne, Won't stand for our rights, we deserve to have none. 6. Let's be heroines all and stand up for the truth, Grave matron, fine lady, poor women, or youth, If we're wrong, let us own it, but if we are right, Cry freedom and Property with all our might, 7. Then all act like Sarah, and you will be prais'd, Be never affrighted, nor ever amaz'd; But stand for your rights as you would for your lives, That your Husbands may know when they've got British Wives.
