FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
The following is a particular account of the transactions of the French before Jersey in their attack on that Island, and their situations when the last advices came from thence; being the substance of two letters received from Guernsey by two respectable Merchants in London.
ON Saturday Morning the first of May an alarm was given from the look out that a large fleet was steering hither from the Coast of France; as they advanced we perceived there were five frigates, four other vessels, and a number of Boats: they made for Owen's Bay, in order to land, and we were soon informed on what errand they came. Expresses were immediately sent by the Governor round the Island to call in the militia, and all the troops belonging to the regulars, invalids, and militia, were shortly assembled; the works of the forts were immediately manned, and every thing got ready to oppose their landing. The French immediately begun to get their men into their Boats, and the Frigates stood in as near as they could to cover their landing; but the first fire from our Forts was so hot, that it was almost madness to advance; they however still pushed on under a heavy cannonading, some of their Boats grounded, and two overset; but then they perceived the attempt would be attended with great slaughter and the success very doubtful; they therefore hove out a signal for the return of the Boats, and in two hours time they were all on board again. Their cannon did us no damage; all the hurt we received was from our own, one of which bursting, killed, I believe, five men, and wounded several: during this engagement, the Governor sent off a privateer, which was lying to the westward, with the account of the French attack, to Portsmouth, who, we have since heard, fell in with Adm. Arbuthnot and his fleet: the French fleet hauled off, remained standing off, and on for some hours when the wind being fair they went for the Coast of France, and we saw no more of them that Day: a privateer was sent to look for them, and they were found lying off Cape Frehel, a head-land about four leagues to the Westward of St. Maloes, waiting, as it was supposed for reinforcements to renew the attack. On Tuesday arrived at Guernsey Admiral Arbuthnot with eight sail of the Line and some transports, and sent to our Governor, and the same Day arrived here from Portsmouth the Unicorn, Convert, and Raleigh Frigates; Cygnet, Beaver, Wasp, and fortune sloops of War; with the Leith and Heart of Oak armed ships since we have been joined by three more frigates and ten of our privateers are also in company with them: these the next day sailed from hence in order to attack the French fleet, still lying off Cape Frehel, but the weather proving stormy and thick they soon returned and to morrow are to renew their attack.
We have great plenty of military stores of all kinds on the island, and had a number of men of the train, which is not customary here, besides the invalids to manage our guns, which were well served.
We hear that this affair was carried on under Count de Luce, who undertook at his own expence with a number of chosen troops to make a coup de main of the Islands of Guernsey and Jersey.
General Conway, our Governor, arrived just as the vessel that brings this letter set off for England. We took twelve French soldiers, which were overset from one of their Boats in endeavouring to land.
This island has again recovered its quiet, and there is nothing going forward but rejoicing and giving one another joy of the success of our arms against the French.
The more effectually to watch the motions of the Brest Fleet, and that Government may have early intelligence of their operations, the Milford Frigate Alert cutter, and a swift sailing schooner, are ordered to reconnoitre the harbour of Brest.
Extract of a letter from Southampton May 8.
"A Gentleman just arrived from Guernsey says there were fourteen frigates arrived from England; and as they had near twenty privateers then at home in both Islands, an expedition was to take place the next day, the frigates were to go in the Night and cut off the enemy's communication with St. Maloes, as they lay under Cape Frehel, and the privateers were to proceed to the other part of the Bay: so that it was to be hoped the French would have great reason to repent of their expedition; and in order to keep it a secret an embargo was laid on all shipping, not even a boat being suffered to go out, except the Vessel which brought this gentleman to England.
Extract of a Letter by Capt. Holford arrived at Trinquabar on an English Ship under Portaguese Colours left England in January 1780.
THAT Doctor Frank'in and Silas Dean had discovered a private treaty between the Courts of France and Spain to devide America they left the Former Court and arrived in London before Capt. Holdford left it.— had offered on the part of the Americans to accept of the Terms offered them last by the Ministry, and that Commissioners were actually to be sent to America with full power and Terms of Reconciliation which they had no doubt would take place.—That Admiral Arbuthnot had fell in with and took 3 Spanish 74 Gun Ships and a rich Galeon going to Brest with a Million Sterling on Board, that Sir H. Clinton had with only 15000 Men met general Washington, defeated him and his Grand Army by amusing Washington with his Colours flying in his Camp had marched suddenly attacked a Reinforcement of 3000 Men that were Marching to join him and that 3000 more upon hearing their defeat had laid down their Arms. Sir George Collier fell in with 11 American Arm'd Ships with 5000 Land forces on Board had taken sunk Burnt and destroyed the whole.
CALCUTTA.
BY Letters from England by the Kingston dated in Oct. We learn that Mr. T—y L—e, late a Member of this Government received the honour of Knighthood as soon as his arrival was announced as a reward due to his profound learning, extensive abilities, unremitted application, and steady perseverance to one point.
We are authorized to inform the Public that the Reports which has prevailed so universally for a considerable time past that J—b R—r Esq; (late of the Civil Service on this Establishment, and now we hear returning to it) had been Knighted previous to his return and receiving merely for Brevity's sake the application of Sir Gob is entirely groundless. That honour our Correspondent informs us was most cer-

tainly offered him, but with the dignity which always distinguishes great souls, He greatly and unhesitatingly declined it; And is at this moment as free from all exterior distinctions as when received at the Font from the Arms of the Priest.
The Ship Tenby Capt. Fineas Hunt who sailed from Vizacapatam the 1st. of May last with Mrs. Davison and Family bound for Madras has met with very bad Weather and was obliged to put into Chittagong, Mrs. Davison and Family we are informed is coming by land to Calcutta.
PROMOTED.
Mr. DAVID BURGES, who was second at Chittagong to a seat in the Revenue Council at Dacca.
We hear that several amorus Heroes of the Martial Band having been lately foiled in their attacks upon some of the newly arrived Beauties have retired to Barrackpore from the Field of Love, and are seeking Comforts in the Arms of Mars in recompence for the pleasures they were denied in the arms of Venus.
SELIM.
We are informed that a certain B--h--d--r now residing at M--d--apore shortly intends visiting the Presidency, and that he proposes introducing and recommending with all the Eloquence he is Master of a new invented Mode of eating Fish which we understand makes it Relish in a much higher degree than any hitherto found out.
N. B. It is said that Berroool has the Credit of giving rise to the above invention.

Continued from our Last.
I Shall now proceed to the Matter in hand and take a survey of myself entering into the eighteenth year of my age when having totally abondened Study and devoted myself to pleasure, I found it difficult to procure a Sufficiency of that necessary, Ingredient which purvaces all Things: I peremptorily declined every proposal for establishing myself in Life, and would be nothing but a Gentleman; it then remained to find the Requisites; at last revolving in
my Mind the many Advantages deriving from Travel, the great Benefit arising from Foreign Trade I determined to go abroad, and no place seemed equal in prospect to the East Indies to make a Man quickly Rich, accordingly I prevailed on my Uncle to let me make a Voyage thither. he generously fitted me out like a Gentleman, and in the Year 1753 sent me on board the Sandwich John Purling Commander, bound to Bombay on the Coast of Malabar and Moca, in the Red Sea. I had before this learned the Mathematicks and entering into the practical Part by keeping the ships Reckoning was in a very short time justly esteemed a good Navigator, we had a pleasant voyage of thirty Months without any common disaster, and an opportunity of remarking the manners of the different Sects of people. on the Malabar and Arabick Shores at the Cape of Good Hope the Island of Bombay, Madagascar, and St. Helena and here I cannot omit taking Notice of an inclination I had to have left the Ship at the Island of Madagascar; the People are in general affable, courteous and sincere, the Women amorous, obliging and free, they enjoy all their pleasures in Common, not the least Tincture of Jealousy, or Churlishness in the Men, the very Princes and State Officers would instruct their Wives and Daughters to Banquet with Strangers; money they despise as useless, Ornamental Dress unnecessary, Decency as in Paradise, they observe, no Closeting of Love, but when Desires approach, retire with a consenting she, and unencumber'd on a Mat, blend their soft Sable Skins; 'tis a State of Happiness, they know no Guilt nor are they devoid of duty to their Maker, but with profound Reverence, each Morn and Eve, prostrate their Bodies in adoration to the bespangled Frontispiece of Heaven; and the grand Architect of that resplendent Mansion, with much Reluctance I left that Island, on my return Home in the year 1755

POET's CORNER
To Mr. HICKY.
THE Bucks of the Yellow have late borne the Bell,
And each Weeks Gazette with their praises you swell:
Which fully evinces the force of a name,
For when Green was their facing full small was their fame.
Then your marrow-bones bend, Boys, to that jolly fellow,
Who has chang'd your sad fronts from dull Green to bright Yellow.
TRIM.
On throwing by an Old Black Coat.
OLD friend, farewell—with whom full many a day,
In varied mirth and grief. hath roll'd away.
No more thy form retains its sable dye,
But, like grey beauty, palls upon the eye—
That form which shone so late in fashion's bloom,
How fall'n!—ere while the glory of the loom!
Late, wrapt secure within thy woollen folds,
I brav'd the summer rains, and winter colds.
Fearless of coughs, catarths, which Eurus brings,
Or dark November, on his noisome wings,
Whistling a tune, like Cymon in the song,
Thro' filthy streets and lanes I've trudg'd along,
Nor heeded aught the hackney coachmens cries,
Tho' Coach your Honor sounded to the skies,
And shall I then forget thy brighter hue,
Sell thee a slave to yonder hoarse-mouth'd Jew?
Forbid it Gratitude—forbid it Shame—
That were a deed would blacken Clodios name,
Thou poor old man, whose brow is streak'd with care,
Stretch'd on the clay cold earth, thy bosom bare,
Had I but half that Clodio's shining store,
Thy breast should heave with misery no more;
Yet take the scanty pittance I bestow,
This coat shall shield thee from the drifting snow.
But ere we part—indulge the moral lay,
Hear it, ye fools, who flutter life away,
Vain are the rich man's toils, the proud man's brags,
Men turn to dust—and broad cloath turns to rags
A LITTLE WISH.
GRANT me, Gods, a little seat,
Modern built, and furnish'd neat;
Let it stand on rising ground,
For a prospect all around;
Call the mansion Quiet hill;
From the mount a little rill
Let me and ring gently flow
Through the veriant vale below.
And a little garden to it,
Planted, wall'd, and stock'd with fruit,
And a little bower therein,
Made of pleasing ever-green;
Tho' a little shady grove,
Or for study, or for love,
And some little trees that bear
Pippin, cherry, plumb, and pear;
And the apricot and peach,
On the wall within my reach;
And each fragrant flower that grows
Fragrant flower for the nose,
And the rose in all its pride,
Blushing rose for blooming bride;
Tulips too in richest show,
Tulips gay for Bath knight beau.
Let us now go in a-door,
And see what to ask for more.
Grant, ye pow'rs, a little wine,
For the welcome guest to dine;
And a stock of mild and stale,
Honest neighbours to regale;
And April strong and mellow,
Tribes and weeds for hearty fellow,
These in Cestrian moulds comprest,
That of Barcas very best;
Cordial, two in cubboards be,
Rum, arrack, and ratifa;
Now and then a little cup
Sarves to keep the spirit. up.
As a sportsman, give me horses,
Some for chaise, and some for courses,
And a pack or two of hounds,
To drive reynard o'er the downs.
Grant for these a fit estate,
Not too little nor too great;
But if ask again, I shall
Ask for what is more than all;
Give a little pretty spouse,
To ease life, and grace my house;
Let her have complexion fair,
Sparkling eyes, and auburn hair,
Skin as white as neck of swan.
Smooth as down that grows thereon,
Smileing looks and ruby lips,
Waist that's taper to her hips;
And fine arms that easy fall,
Softest hands and fingers small,
Skill'd to touch the warbling strings,
When her lays or mine she sings;
Let her chearful, pleasant be,
To my friends as well as me,
And with wit and beauty's charms.
Glad my heart and bless my arms;
Be the produce of our joys,
Little Girls and little boys.
O! the sweets of such a life!
To be blest with such a wife!
Grant but these, May I be poor.
When I ask a little more.
SOCIUS.
For the Calcutta Gazette.
On True Happiness.
LONG have I sought, the wish of all,
True happiness to find,
Which some will wealth, some pleasure call;
And some a virtuous mind.
Sufficient wealth to keep away,
Of want the doleful scene.
And joy enough to gild the day,
And make life's course serene.
Virtue enough to ask the heart,
Art though secure within?
Hast though perform'd an [ILL] part
Hast though no private [ILL]
This to perform, these things [ILL]
Must raise a noble joy,
Must constitute that Happiness
Which nothing can destroy.
