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, 17th to Saturday June, 24th 1780. [No. XXII BENGAL. Extract of a Letter from MADRAS. ON SUNDAY, at Noon May, 28 80, arived the Duke of Kinston Capt. Nutt, from England, they left Eng. Nov. 17th and that Morning very early spoke with the Valentine Capt. Ogilvie that left Madrass Oct. 23d. 1778 bound into port, sometime after fell in with two American Privateers, one of which over hauld them apace but on coming within Gun-Shot, the Duke of Kinston fired 3 of Nine and 3 of her six pounders at her, upon which the privateer fired 2 Guns to Leeward and hauled off. 2 Days before they put into Rio Janeiro for Refreshment a valuable Rich Spanish Ship from Lima Loaded chiefly with Treasure had been towed into that River in distress having lost her Rudder. The Duke of Kingston came the outward passage but saw no Vessel before they made Tranqubar, 3 Letter pacquet Boxes were not opened before Monday noon, (the Captain not bringing them on shore with him the Day before which caused many surmises) When opened the Major part of the Letters were for Bengal Bombay &c. The Eagle packet was expected to be dispatched but did not sail in Company with the Duke of Kingston, 'its said the principal packets are on board the Kings Store Ship.—Matters with England are not so desperate as the Monsieurs gave out in the Leyden Gazette which came over land (Abstract published in this paper May 6th the Disturbance in Ireland was happily settled and some priviladges relative to Trade Granted them. The affairs in America not yet settled the West Indies well protected and Old England Gazed at by all Europe, for singly opposing the combined powers. It was expected that the Dutch and Protestant powers would join England. The French and Spanish grand Fleet, had paraded of off Plymouth But made no attempt to land and next Day disappeared.—His Majesty on the first Notice immediately went to the Grand Camp Determined to head his own Troops, signal Boats and Beacons being ready to give him the earliest Account of Any attempt made against the Land, and the Army under marching Orders to quit the Camp on the shortest Notice. Sir. E. Hughes K. B. is appointed Vice Admiral of the Blue But has not yet hoisted his Flag, as the principal Pacquet are on board the Kings store Ship which was Dispatched at the same Time as the Duke Kingston. On the 24th. an Accident happened to the New powder-Mills.—Some loose Powder taking fire scorched a Number of the Workmen several of whom are since Dead. A. Extract of a Letter from MADRAS. THE Ship Betsey is arrived here from Tilacherry under the command of the chief mate; for Captain Bracey was never seen after the Neiars took him; its reported they want 30,000 R. ransom for him. The Extract from the French Papers of the Ardent of 64 Guns being taken by two french frigates of 36 Guns each is false, for the Ardent was taken by three Ships of the Line and two frigates after an obstanate engaget. was obliged to stricke to such a great force.—We learn by the Kingston that our Fleets are near equal to the Fleets of France and Spain and that forty Ships of the Line are on the stocks and are very forward; the Kingston parted company with the Protector store Ship at Sea, as she is deeply loaded we may yet expect her. From the 24 to the 28 We had very bad weather and such a great Surff that no Boats or Cattamerans could go off, the Grab Snow Adventure Captain Thomas Barns parted from his Anchor in this bad weather on the 27 at Trimlepointa where she was taking in Salt and was lost, she was counted one of the best Vessels in the Country of that construction; she belonged to the Captain and a Gentleman at Bengal and its' said not Insured; she had a deal of Freight on Board, six of the People was lost. Our Cruizers has been so successfull that the Spanish Merchants are already sick of the War. Doctor John Spratt who died here had a great part of his fortune in the hands of the Nabob, and a Moor-Man, which the Nabob has had some time confined at Inee, being indebted to him, The Nabob wou'd not allow Mr Spratt to send to this Man, and This ill usage the Doctor took so much to heart that it is supposed it hastened his Death having been refused admittance at chassock House, when he went to demand his just and Lawful right, Nor will the Nabob admit any but people whom he cannot trifle with; the Moor-Man confined at Inee was a renter of part of the Country; and did very-well and pay'd his rent in-due time he was order'd to advance some Lacks which he requested time to do it in and the lease renewed; he was brought to Chassock house and there confined for some time before he was sent to Inee; The 2d. son has now got the Country which this man had, who all way paid his rent and the Inhabitants, lived happy, but now they desert the Country, and his Father is about three Lacks of Pagodas Yearly out of Pocket. Extract of a Letter from MADRAS. THE Ship Fortune—Dixon from Batavia by whom we learn that the Hon. Company's Ship princes Ryoal was at Batavia; from St. Hellena and that all the Bengal Ships had arrived safe there. The King's store Ship Protector from England she failed in Nov. in Company with the Kingston but parted four Days afterwards, and fell in with the Fleet under Sir Charles Hardy consisting of 54 sail of the Line besides frigates and fire Ships; it was this Fleet the Kingston took to be the French Fleet in the Night. CALCUTTA. ON Sunday evening a Villian Robbed a little Gentoo boy of ten years old in the Bow-baazar of the Gold Joys which he had about his neck in Value about nine Gold Mohurs with which he got clear off. We are informed that the Juty Wallahs, or Makers, and Vendors of Bengal Shoes in and about Calcutta, also the Patna, Juty Wallahs intend sending a Joint, Petition to the supreme Council setting forth the great Hardship they labour under, and the great distresses they and their poor families have suffered within these four Years last past on account of the great decay of their Trade, intirely owing to the Luxury of the Bengalies, chiefly the Bangans and Sarcars, as there are scarce one of them to be found who does not keep a Chariot, Phaeton Buggy or Pallanquin, and some all four, by which a Pair of Shoes that formerly only lasted them ten or twelve days, lasts them now as many Months.

On Sunday Night last as a portaguse Woman was coming to Town to see her friends in Calcutta, she was stopped near the Nabbob's Garden by three black Men who Robbed her of her Shaul and Joys, and was going to smother her in the Mud of a Ditch close by, had not her cries brought some people to her assistance. The Villians got clear off with their booty. On Sunday last a Gentoo Woman in the Bow-baazar went into her Garden to wash some Linen at the Tank, and was bit by a Large Snake in the finger of which she died in less than an Hour. It's Currently-reported that the Country born Writers are drawing up a Petition to present to the Governor Genral and Council complaining of the Bengalies taking their bread from them. With equal propriety the Europeans Writers might Petition against them both. HIGH WATER at Calcutta from Saturday June, the 24th to Saturday July, the 1st. H.

If the following lines are not Foreign to your Plan, as the Circumstance which Occasioned them brought to my mind many interesting Reflections by inserting them you will encourage me to be a future Correspondent. Business calling me the other Day to the old Fort, on entering I was struck with the salutation of God bless your H. looking round I perceived an old Viteran whom I recognised to have been an highly Meritorious, tho' unrewarded Soldier in the Camp. I commanded in the Action against the Rohillahs. Noticing a sweet little Girl that stood by him I asked if she was his Daughter. He replied your Honor knows I have been too long in India to have a Child so young as her. But it is the Orphan of my old Comrade Thomas Beek, Coporal in the file that was hacked down just on our left, he you know lost his Arm the other two were killed he never rightly recovered but died a little after you left us. As your Honor knew him to be a good Man and got him made a Serjant had he lived he would have saved something for his Poor Child. When on his death Bed Grasping my Hand ( I think I feel it now! ) said George you loved me: Love my Child as well, and she will not miss her father, When the remembrance of his Friendship brought tears in his Eyes and for a moment stopped utterance. On recovering he said may you Sir never know the loss of a Friend.—Poor Tom! all he had he gave, in his Knap Sack was found a few Shifts of Linen and this Breast Buckle, tho' I have no occasion for that to remind me of him, while this little one is exactly like him lives. I am fonder of her then I could be of my own. I have got his Will by which he left me his Prize Money.—Ah! your Honor, we have been cruelly deceived, I am sure you was to, as you believed those fine promises "true or you would not have caused them to be read at the Head of the Company. I begin now to think true what a number of people then used to say. That we were fighting in a bad Cause, or else why shoud those who took the ships; and Chandernagore, get prize Money and we not. Your Honor knows it is terrible grating to see that paid which has been due only a few months and ours going on seven years) a Time pretty near long enough to have got the opinions of the Court of Dierctors.) we did not know any thing about the Cause it is our duty to obey and we were told they were our Enemies. Such a sum as mine and Toms would be of great service to me tho' as I was affraid we never should get it I have taken care to run in debt as little as possible, and only owe Six Rupees, four for a Piece of Cloth for the Child and two I was obliged to Borrow to pay for a Bayonet some Villian stole. I relieved the good old Man from any Anxiety concerning the debt and in this as in many other instances found the want of the Prize Money, my abilities not being adequate to the Benevolence of My Wishes. I am much affraid those Motives which were formerly said to actuate have now left their Power of doing so, viz. found as well as Justice." PHICO MILES. To the Editor of the Gazeete. AMIDST the variety of Iudicious and Salutary Hints which have been thrown out for the advantage of the Public since the Publication of your most usefull end Instructive Paper. I can't refuse myself the pleasure of communicating another wheel in my Opinion highly Concerns the Health of the settlement in General, to which for the Honor of my Profession I shall ever pay the most Unremitted and Vigilant Attention, this is the use of our Common Mussauls which many Incontestable Proofs I Learn are chiefly Compacted of the most filthy Rags taken from the Posterior parts of Dead Bodies, by a tribe of Rapscallions who Browl about the Banks of the River for this purpose called Halikores.—As it is but reasonable to suppose that many of these Miserable Wretches are Carried off by the most Malignant and Contagious Diseases, I shall without entering into a Philosophical detail briefly observe that the apletude of Cotten Cloath to imbibe and retain the very Quintessence of Infection has been sufficiently convinced by many Sad and jamentable Instances, and the action of Fire altho' sufficient to correct the bad disposition of Air proceeding from Damp's or the like, will Rather diffuse and Ettend the Contagious Aura than Repress or destroy it, When such Noxious Fumes are drawn into the Lungs cannot fail of producing the most destructive Consequences. I wou'd threfore seriously admonish my Readers as they value their Health to abolish a Custom so Replete with danger by the Substitution of Dammar Torches which not only emit a most gratefull Aromantic Odor, but Contribute not a little to Revive the Spirits and to dispel those unsavory smells which are inseparable in Warm Weather from the rancied skins of our Bearras.

JOHN ANDREWS. Calcutta 20th June 1780. [Column 2] A . D . D . R . E . S . S . MR. HICKY most respectfully begs leave to acquaint his Friends and the Public in general, that he has been informed that some wanten and Envious Persons in Calcutta, are preparing materials for establishing a News-Paper; and that they have already, both themselves and their Friends, pri- vately Solicited the Subscribers to Mr. HICKY's Paper, requesting them to withdraw their Names from the said Mr. HICKY's Subscription Paper, and to place them upon theirs. It is needless for him to expatiate on the Goodness of the hearts or heads of the Men who are ca- pable of such an act. In charity to people that are capable, of acting so vile a part. Mr. HICKY now informs them that when his Sub- scribers thought proper to favour him with their Names to his Paper, that they signed for one Year certain, that they are all Men of Honour and will not desert him. How base and contemptable then must be the Men who are impudent, and insolent enough to endeavour to se- duce those Gentlemen from the Paths of Honour. This matter will be properly investigated and laid before the Public in a very few Days by their most Obed. Humble Serv. J. A. HICKY. Mr. LE GALLAIS.

Calcutta 23d. June 1780. [Column 3] Extract of a Letter from a Correspondent up the Country. THE Gentlemen of the 3d. Re- gion being all of them keen sportsmen it naturaly followes that they are frequently in the Jungles. One of them has discovered and caught a few strange kind of Monsters which the natives say are a Breed between the Tiger, Bear and Lackerbaug, and which the Gentlemen describes as fol- lows. This Animal is large, Stub- born, Ugly and terrible, and fearful to be hold and more fierce than any Ar- cadian Cur. Although their Brush are so fierce and strong, yet we find we can increase their fierceness by setting him to beat a Tyger, Bear, Hyana, or Lacker baug and when none of these are to be procured, A native will do if only dressed up in Bear skin Breeches or the skin of a Lacker-baug over his Body; He must have on a Bamboo Shirt. Of these Animals some bark only, with fierce and open mouth, but will not bite. Others do not bark at all, or bite before they Bark; Therefore, they are more to be feared than the other kind. Some will rage all night, others must be Cajed both Day and Night. Some are so gentle in the Day that a Child may play with his whiskers, or ride upon his back; and they will let any person come into your Tent or Compound. But if they put forth their hands to take or pilfer, any thing they are instantly de- voured. I had one of a very strange Temper if I beat a servant He would gently Assay catch the End of the stick in his mouth and take it out of my hand or else pluck down the poor natives Clotn (if Inno- cent which he must have known by in- stinct) to save them from the stripe and then either with a whining tone or tremendious growl according as I paid him attention. In short I find them to be an Animal only fit to be kept as we would a Tiger.—not to have their own way. As for Monkies Raccoons and Alle- gaters we have plenty.—- You cannot Kill a Duck or Teal upon a Tank or pool, but up bounces an Allegator and gulphs them down. A Public spirited Gentleman now at Midnapore intends mending all the Roads leading from thence to Beercool and Ballasore—And even as far down as Cattack, as there is a probability that this will soon become the fashion- able place to retreat to during the heats. There will also be Houses of Entertain- ment on the different Roads. Mr. Junglebaug Coach and Harness maker at the sign of the Tiger and Trap Midnapore, Begs leave to inform the Ladies and Gentlemen that He is ma- king and fiting out Coaches and other Veichles for the Conveyance of Ladies and Gentlemen to the above mentioned places and Wishes for encouragement. Wanted a handsome sprightly House Keeper the Cast not much minded. Any such by applying to A. B, at Midnapore, by Letter or otherwise will meet with every encouragement. A Gen-Irman tired of a single Life wishes to be tyed to some handsome good Complexioned Lady of an easy Fortune, the same Mr. A. B. will also treat of this. THREE
