HICKY'S BENGAL GAZETTE; OR, Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None, From Saturday July, 8th to Saturday July, 15th 1780. [No. XXV FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Extract of a Letter from DUBLIN July 12th 1779. SOME People of consequence think we shall have a new Lord Lieutenant before the meeting of Parliament, but Lord B. says he has no reason to apprehend a removal, and I think we may root from our experience, Hope for a better, or even so good a Governor, he certainly seems very well disposed to do every thing in his power for our relief, but it has had the mortification to find his endeavours Counteracted by those whose acts of Authority from England. I will give you an instance of it. Lord Lanesborough before his death endeavoured in vain to get his Pension of 800l. per. Ann. Continued to his family.---And several others having fallen in the Course of the last twelvemonth, Lord B. declared that no solicitations should prevail with him to fill up one of them: but he received a few days ago a Letter from Lord N. desiring that Mrs. Eden, Wife of the American Commissioner, might be placed on the Pension List for 800l. and the Wife of Sir J. Cockburn for 400l. per. Ann. Two Privy Councellors have been appointed by the same Authority. This was certainly very impolite at a time when distress had forced the Inhabitants to form themselves into Companies to the Number of 12000 and chose them leaders to make themselves perfect in discipline, and where it is not easy to say to what lengths despair might urge them to use their Arms. However Notwithstanding many acts of oppression and very contemptible treatment sometimes, none of his Majesty's Subjects have acted with more loyalty and steadiness in the present dangerous state of affairs then the People of Ireland, and particularly the new raised Companies, of which they had have sufficient proof in their behaviour on a late very extraordinary occasion. On the 15th Ult. between three and four in the morning an express arrived at the Castle with a Letter to Lord B. from General Mocher at Corke, acquainting him that he had received a Letter from a Gentleman, a Magistrate, in the Neighbourhood of Bantry Bay who wrote that some fishermen just come in, had deposed they saw a few leagues off, fifteen large Ships with white Flags, besides a great number of small vessels, and that an English Merchantman struck to one of them. It was therefore easily believed that the invasion so Long threatned and expected was now at hand, and General Mochar prepared to make the best defence he could, ordering by expresses, the Troops at Limerick, Waterford, &c. and to join him with the utmost expedition in the Neighbourhood of Bantry Bay. He had not marched far before he received Letters express from Cork, which came there by post, informing him that the Fleet seen off Bantry proved to be Arbuthnot's bound for America, and that the English Ship supposed to be taken had only been stopped to answer some Questions. On Lord B. receiving of the first information he ordered an express Boat to be got ready, as the packet had failed, and was on the point of dispatching it to England when he received those Letters that suggested that the Fleet seen near Bantry Bay which occasioned so great an alarm might very possibly be Arbutnot's; That the French intending an invasion would scarce give so early intelligence of their design by hoisting white Flags; and that the delay of a few Hours in which time his Lordship might be sure of receiving another express, could not be attended with any very bad Consequences: and his Lordship being inclined himself to this opinion put off dispatching the express Boat for a few hours, and thereby very happily prevented much greater disturbance in England than here.---For after all, the whole was a Lie. No Fleet nor Ships was seen: and the Letters sent by Post to Gen. Mocher, signed with the names of Magistrates at or near Bantry Bay, were all Forgeries The advice luckily arrived here on Sunday which saved many Merchants from dangerous, or very disagreeable consequences. At Corke the run became so great on the Banks that it was with great difficulty they could be kept open several Letters were written as from Merchants here to others at Cork informing them that a French Fleet had been seen on our Coasts.---that all was anarchy and Confusion, Mobs in every part of the City.---Banks broke open and robb'd.---The Castle surrounded by thousands.---and that horrible deeds might be expected. Whereas perfect peace and good Order were preserved every where; and the indepen- dent Company Commanded by the Duke of Leinster was ready to do duty there in place of the Troops in Garrison who were preparing to March when the second express arrived at the Castle. The Alarm passed so quick over the Kingdom that the Regulars were every where in motion, and most of them greatly harrassed by forced Marches, and on this and several other occasions, when there was any appearance of actual service, the Independents pressed forward to be employed, and took the Oaths of Allegiance. Yet you will find Lord S with his usual regard to truth, and to give encouragement to their Loyality calling them a Rabble, a Mob.---a Banditti &c. &c. Great Pains are taking to find out the Authors of the Forgeries which caused so much disturbance, but as yet without success; and various are the conjectures concerning the motives. Some imagine that 'twas merely to create distrust; but the more general and probable opinion, is that the Authors were Agents for the Enemy to try how the people were disposed to receive French Visitors. The Last Order from England respecting Military operations were to form a Camp in the South and assemble there the chief forces of the Kingdom, leaving some light Horse to the Northward to guard the Coast against plunderers. MADRAS June 19th 1780. THE Weather has been very bad here since this Month commenced and many persons have been seized with sudden spasms in Various parts (as well as the Extreames) and Fevers which have carried them off at a short Notice viz. Messrs. Will. Angus, John Borton Surgeon of Bencoolen and Miss Ann Watson both arrved from Bengal Capt. Robinson of the Ship---arrived from Maldives,---Quiaurelt late Gunner of his Majesties Ship Burford and Walter Carey late Boatswain of his Majesties Ship Asia Capt. Rich. Peirces steward---Capt. Cha. Deane's 5th Mate Mr. Blythe---and several young Gentlemen belonging to the fleet and many out of the Hospitals---His Majesty's Hospital being removed from near Hog Hill at the south end of the Black Town to the large and spacious new Granary near the Watering place at the North end of Mootal Pettah close to the Sea Side is found to be more wholesome and convenient for

the Sick and we hear they are going to make Commodious Quarters for the Surgeons &c. &c. Capt. Barclay Wife and family, Widow Dyneley late of Ganjam, and several Children took their passage for England Via China in the Earl of Oxford. On the 14th James Henry Cassamajor Esq; Embarked on board the Industry Capt. Joseph James for his Government at Visagapatam. Vice Morgan Williams Esq; since returned to Madras being next in course for a seat in Council at Fort St. George. M A D R A S. WE learn by the Danish Ship Arrived at Trinquabar which left Europe in Nov. that both Grand Fleets was in port, that Capt. Johnston commonly called Gov. Johnston with a small Squadron of one Ship of 50 Guns, three Frigates of 28 Guns, had taken a spanish Man of War of 74 Guns and three Galeons of 32 Guns each, which was under Convoy of the 74 Gun Ship; and that Doct. Franklin had actually left France and was in England; the Irish was all quiet; on the promise that no more Placemen should be put on the Pension List It's Reported this Danish has been at the Isle of France Some very elegant Furniture is now making up for a certain new Building and that no less than three doz of China easy Chairs are bought up and if the China Ships brings them with a turn up spring there is no fear but they will sell well. We hear that Col. Hartly with his party is returned to Bombay for fear of an attack on that Island. By Liters from Madras. We are informed that two Danish Ships are arrived on the Coast which left the Cape the latter end of April with the following accounts. That the Southampton and Nasau had put into False Bay some time in February and were there when she left it, their Crews being mostly down with the scurvey was the reason for touching at the Cape. Fortunately they saw no Enemies in their way, Mons. Tranjolie with 3 Ships of the Line, The Briliant 64 L'Orient 74 and Savine 64 Guns had been for some time Cruzing off, Cape Agulhas and was still there. The 6 China Ships which left the streights in February will be in Danger, but should They escape and our Fleet from the Coast fall in with them, we may expect a good account will be given of the French Force in those seas. Nine private French Ships had been at the Cape for provisions where their Men of War are likewise supplied. By last accounts from the Manilias there was at that Island a 50 Gun Ship the Flammande Consolante of 38 and 2 others the subtile of 20 and Hercules 8 Guns. The two Frigates Elizabeth and perservience were supposed to be out on a Cruize. A Dutch Ship arrived the 22d of April at the Cape which off Maderia spake with a Capt. Harvey in a Line of Battle Ship whose Officers told her That Sir John Ross had sailed for the Relief of Gibralter, and Ad. Rowley was gone with a Squadron to America and that we had taken off Cadiz 4 Spanish Ships supposed of war and a Galleon an immense prize superior to any taken last War. It was also reported that D'Estaing's Fleet had been surprized by a storm on the Coast of America. And that the Valentine is lost on Gurensey the Crew and Cargo saved Madras Jne 19th 1780.

OCCASIONAL You will Oblige me by informing your Correspondent that I am in every respect qualified to be his Clerk, bateing the few menial Offices he requires which of course I hope the following extra qualifications will Amply balance. I have great experience of the deep cunning and perfidy of mankind, I have a venal regard for money, I am not over scrupulous about the means of procuring it. I have judgement sufficient to develope the most complex cases, and sophistry enough to puzzle and puzzle the most simple. I am a perfect Master of simulation, dissimulation, duplicity, treachery and all the little arts of disingenuous subtlety. I have a happy talent of stirring up and nourishing private animosities. In short I have a total contempt of truth. If, therefore Mr. HICKY, it happens that your correspondent is, as he says, an Emminent Lawyer, I can have no doubt but these Gentleman like and Brilliant accomplishments will procure me a warm and gracious invitation to his service. A Line addrsed to me, at the sign of the Snake and Quill, in hazard Alley near the Jail, shall be duly attended to by Your O. ed. Serv GORGON. N. B. Perhaps it may give an additional sanction to my pretentions to acquaint you that I was fostered at a Jesuits college and can produce a diploma of my abilities that would not disgrace the first Gentleman of the Law, my name is an exact index to my mind.

Continued from our 20th. Number. FROM What I have already said it may reasonably be supposed that reflecting my Fate, I hold all Woman useless, admit them guilty only by Man's persuasions, and that the Prejudice I have received from the Sex, is adequate to what I have coveyed. Thus much with this conclusion, that I consider them as Terrestrial Angels formed for Love, and Worthy to be beloved: it may possibly be urged that Woman first received original Sin, Imparted it to her Lord and Master and intailed it on Posterity; but before that truth is attempted, it should be asked in what Form and Figure the supposed Lucifer accosted our Mother Eve, whether or not the Perfections of Man, the Quintessence of these Perfections, and the Ingengencers of that quintescence were not appointed to exact the Virgin Tribute, the reality of the Apple, the Knowledge thereby obtained the Excellence or Depravity of that fruitful Fruit which has transfered to us it's Fruits, the cause of the ready Acquiescence of it's Governor, the Immediate compliance of Woman's Consort, and the strict observance of their Descendants in those maxims from thence to this, Let a new Newton emerge to both, and say, if the whole Offspring of that first Concession do not employ their Talents to deceive, defraud, to cheat and ruin Woman, if after the irretriveable Loss of Virtue's brilliant ornament, they are not to be pitied whom Necessity obliges to continue a Correspondence with the Destroyer of their Innocence: however I would have it understood that Chastity in Women is an inestimable Treasure, that is the Mirrour of all good Works, the Source of Virgin-Felicity, the Security of Content, and the Load-Stone to conjugal Affection. Therefore he that by in Masque, or by Deception takes from a credulous Maid all that's engaging in her, has much to answer for, and he unworthy the Name of Man, who from the pursuit of unlawful pleasures, is discarded by Society, and at last discovers his Weakness by publishing his involuntary condescension to please himself. To be Continued. Mr. HICKEY. I Have not been more sensibly affected by any incident for some Years past, than by the serious request of a very particular friend of Mine, to have the inclosed advertisement publish'd in your Gazette; he is at present quarter'd at some distance from hence, or, I make no doubt, but he would have waited on you himself to have had it done. Until I hear from him again, I shall not mention the persons name, to whom he wishes to have the Subscription paid. It is a disagreeable reflexion, Sir, for a young Man like me, who is no higher than, a Cadet yet, to think, that I am likely to remain in this Scorching, unhealthy Climate for 12 or 14 Years, (and unless I have interest at the fountain head (which my poor friend has not) who can, and will procure me one of the many lucrative posts, that are every day given away, may, at the end of that term, be as poor as he, and have the best valuable part of my life spent, and my health destroy'd in the sevice, as his is: and at the same time see many inferior Officers, return to their native Countries in affluence. — 'tis a glorious recompense truly, and the very best encouragement that can possibly be held out for the good of the service. Oh ye in power think of this, and let some kind of equal distribution take place. Yours A Poor Cadet. ADVERTISEMENT. A Gentleman perfectly tired of the service in India, well known to most of the Army, and whose removal wou'd cause a promotion in the List of Captains, will chearfully go home, provided the sum of one Lack of Rupees be paid by a Voluntary Subscription this Year, into the hands of — (here he means a particular Gentleman) who will, he is certain Receive the same for him. N. B. From the well known benevolence, and humanity of the Gentlemen of Bengal he has no doubt but the Subscription will soon be fill'd; as upon Enquiry they may learn, that he has always paid the strictest attention to his duty. At present, he owns, that he is not worth as much Cash as would pay for his passage; after a hard service of between 12 and 14 years, in which his health has been totally impair'd, And tho two, some Months a Captain.
