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, 29th to Saturday August 5th. 1780. [No. XXVIII] By Letters from the Coast. WE are informed that Hyder Alley has taken the Field with a very considerable Body of Troops under his Command, (the number cannot be justly ascertained,) and had actually got within 30 Coss of Tiagar, a pass under the Command of Col. Keating. That Col. Baily was ordered back with the Troops under his Command, to Indecundah, near Balazit Jungo Country and that Col Braithwaite Commanding at Pondechery was ordered to hold himself in readiness. Capt. Keating has sent away his family, and it is said that all the families at Madras has removed from their Garden Houses. By a Letter received from Madras we learn that a fever similar to that which prevails here, called the Influenza is raging, and that numbers are exceeding ill of it. The July Races began the 10th. A Horse (never before enter'd) the property of Mr. Storey beat Mr. Welch's famous Mare and another Horse so hollow the first Heat, that they were drawn. This Horse is look'd upon to be the swiftest Racer ever produced in India. The Court of Directors, in their last resolves came to the determination to send out to Bengal three or four hundred healthy blooming young Women every year, as an aid to the recruiting service which goes on heavily on the former plan. We hear that Stephen Popham Esq; a Member in the Irish Parliament and a sworn Attorney of the Hon'ble Mayor's Court at Madras, is appointed private Secretary &c. to Governor Whitehill. SAILED.

WE are informed by accounts received from an English Frigate at the Cape, and brought here by a Dutch Europe Ship lately arrived, that about one Month after the Lasells sail'd that our fleet under the Command of Lord How, the Adms. Barrington and R F, had met with the grand combined Fleets of France and Spain that both Fleets had formed themselves into a line a Battle, and had a general and bloody engagement. In which we are informed that one half of the Combined Fleets were shattered and destroyed. CALCUTTA. JOHN BRESTOW, Esq; with Lieutenant Brestow of the Navy and several other Persons of distinction are arrived in Town from Ghyrretta. On Thursday last a large Brick Boat sunk during the heavy rain in a Gale of Wind opposite to Champaul-Gaut, by which accident two of the Boats Crew lost their Lives. Mr. and Mrs. Ramus are safe arrived at Patna after a very tedious passage. The Honorable Gen. Sir Eyre Coote arrived at Patna the 29th. July on his way down to the Presidency. Sir John Day is likewise expected in Town, in a day or two. On Thursday Evening, last as some black Men were a driving a Number of Large Hogs through a place called Pilot-row, they were met by some of the Drunken Seamen belonging to the India Ships who swore they wou'd have one for a Mesmate, one of the Seamen made a snatch at one of the large Hogs and held him for some time, during the contention 2 Gentoo Sarcars came by and the Hog after several plunges got clear of the claws of the Seamen, and not having time to chuse his passage he darted right between the Legs of one of the Sarcars and Flung him with amazing violence on his B—c, the Gentoos Cloth which hung between his legs being very wet with the heavy shower that had just fallen clung so close about the snout, head, and neck of the Hog, that he dragged the poor Gentoo upwards of twenty Yards, some times on his back, and some times on his side, and wou'd not have got clear had not the Cloth been tore to pieces. We are informed that the Beggars Opera is now in Rehearsal at the Calcutta Theatre, and the part of Captain Macheath to be Acted by a Capital performer. The Attachment of the natives of Bengal to the English laws, begins now to extend itself to English Habilements. Rajah Ramlochurn a very opulent Gentoo of high cast and Family, lately paid a visit to a very eminent attorney, Equip'd in Boots Buckskin Breeches, Hunting Frock and Jockey Cap; the Lawyer who was employed in studying Coke upon Littleton for the improvement of the Revenues of Bengal, was with the smack of a half Hunter waked from his reverie in great astonishment at the lively transformation of his grave Gentoo Client who it seems was dressed in the exact Hunting Character of Lord March and had borrowed the Fancy from one of Darly's Comic Prints. The Nabob Sidert Alley when lately at the Presidency, employed Connor the Taylor to make him the following Dresses viz. 2 Suits of Regimentals 2 Do of an English Admirals Uniform And two suits of Cannonicals. At the same time sent for an English Peruke Maker, and gave him Orders, to make him two Wigs of every denomination according to the English fashion, viz. Scratches, cut Wiggs and Currelled obbs; Ques, Majors, and Ramilies; all of which he took with him when he left Calcutta.

To Mr. L, SIR, I Have received yours dated the 30th. ult. in which you have endeavoured, to persuade me that you are my Friend, give me leave to tell you Sir, that I think your mode of Friendship a very disagreeable one, and such as I wou'd not wish to be acquainted with. Your answer is extreamly flimsey and unsatisfactory, and cannot be deemed a sufficient apology for the very improper Letter you sent me, but from a pacific disposition, I am willing to give you a longer day, in hopes of your sincere repentance. Next thursday at farthest I expect to hear from you, if I don't your Letter will be published without fail the Saturday following, and the Manuscript copy left open for the perusal of the public. When I first got under way in the Gazette Packett, I form'd a resolution to jog on under an easy sail, and by a well conducted Helm to shape my course right between the Rocks of contention, always observing to give these Rocks a good birth, by which means I should never have occasion to altar my course, or stand on a contrary Tack. What man with an honest good heart, and an industrious inclination, bless'd with a common share of understanding, would be a slave to any party. It was foreign from my intentions, to be the means of widening the breach between the Hon'ble parties which you alude to, on the contrary, if they have got any thing to Publish that is likely to promote a reconciliation, let them send it to me, and my labour and little Paper is at their service, as to what I have wrote to you, it is on my own account, in defence of that liberty which you mean to deprive me of, and of that fortune you mean to ruin. J. A. HICKY. A N E C D O T E. IN the Reign of King Charles the Second, a Sailor having received his Pay, resorted to a House of Ill-fame in Wapping, where he lay all Night, and had his whole Sustance taken from him in the Morning he vowed Revenge; against the first he met with, possessed of Cash, and accordingly overtaking a Gentleman in Stepney-fields related to him his Mishap, and insisted on the Gentleman's making good the Loss, who for some time expostulated with him concerning the Attrocity of his Behaviour, but to no purpose, he was resolute, and the other through Fear of worse consequences, delivered his purse, but, soon after had him taken up, examined, and commited to Newgate, from whence he sent by a Sailor, the following humorous Epistle to the King: " CHARLES, " One of thy Subjects, the orhe Night, robbed me of Forty pounds, for, which I robbed another of the same sum who inhumanly has sent me to Newgate, and swears I shall be hanged therefore, for thy own Sake, save my Life. or, by G---d, thou wilt loose one of the best Seamen in thy Navy, Thine, " JACK SKIFFTON. His Majesty on Receipt thereof im- mediately wrote as follows. " JACK SKIFFTON " For this Time I'll save thee from the Gallows; but if, hereafter thou ever art guilty of the like, by G—d I'll have thee hang'd though the best Seaman in my Navy. Thine. " CHARLES REX." Continued from our 26th Number. I found my Uncle and Benefactor was no more, and that his Fortune tho' considerable, was not likely to be of any great Advantage to his legated Relations; his Widow, the most indulgent Aunt that Nature ever formed, in some measure, made me think lightly of the loss of my Uncle, it was now the French began to infringe on our American Rights and a War Daily expected and altho I had bent my Mind on great Accumulations of Eastern Ore. I resolved to relinquish that Pursuit, and endeavour to acquire Honor, and Riches in the Service of my Country, to effect which, I was once mere equiprd like a Gentleman, and introduced with a favorable Recommendation to Sir Thomas Stanhope, into his Majesty's Navy, on bord the Edinburg of 70, Guns, in the station of a Midshipman; the ship then lay at Plymouth and I by the direction of Sir Thomas, set out for Portsmouth in order to go round by Sea; we embarked in the Tilbury, and the very first Day furnish'd matter of great Concern to me. I was immediately introduced to Officers of my own rank, and in the Evening set down to Piquet, and from that to Lansquenet, when in a few hours I lost upwards of eighty Guineas, which was to have supported me in the Character of a Gentleman. Bad News soon transpires, Sir Thomas Stanhope (then on bord the same ship) received the information, he sent for me, and told me he detested the Practice of Gaming, and that when we came to Plymouth, I might go on shore and dispose of myself as I pleased, for that he would not receive me on bord his Ship this mortified me very much, and having lost my dear Aunt, and having no farther Prospect of supplies I expostulated with Sir Thomas on the Consequences of incuring the Displeasure of my friends which was unavoidable if he abandoned me, at length he generously forgive me on my Promise never to commit the like Errors. I remained Six months in the Edinburg, and seemingly had secured the Countenance, and good opinion of my Commander; he frequently invited me to his Table. treated me with particular Marks of Favor, and when he was appointed to Command the Swiftsure caused me to be taken on bord the same ship with him. By thus much it will appear, as Sir Thomas Stanhope has often since declared that if I had conducted myself properly, (by his interest only) I might, before the Conclusion of the War have Commanded as good a ship as any in the Navy. But my unbounded Ambition aspired to be great at once I could not bear to see any person spend more money, dress better, or keep a finer Girl than myself, all which Art was to support; the substance being wanting, I run in Debt with most of the Taylors in Portsmouth, Gosport and Plymouth, had a Wardrobe of the most fashionable Cloaths, and as it is a known Maxim that money begets money, so Dress begat me Credit; I initiated myself into the Esteem of a Master Baker under the pretence of courting one of his Daughghters and lending him a Thousand Pounds when I came of Age borrowed one Hundred Guineas of him which I never and repaid; several [ILL] of Money. I borrowed from indifferent persons with repeated assurances of behaving honourable when I took Possession of my Estate, which from my Address and Apperance was supposed to be very large, at length the Plot was discovered and Truth proclaimed the Cheat. I was immediately harrassed from House to House at the instigation of different Tradesmen; out of this Hobble I got myself extricated, by the means of a Girl I was on the point of Marrying with at Portsmouth (her Friends yet remain in the Dark) who respecting not the reality of my Pretentions, advertised to bail me, being at Liberty, I hired a Horse at Gosport, made what haste I could to London, where I sold the Horse &c. for half their value. I immediately shipped myself Lieut. of a Privateer belonging to Guernsay then lying in the Thames, in which Vessel I proceeded to that Island and from thence, on a cruize, we took two Privateers, but on our return I was her, forfeited my title to the Dividend I had no more Business in the Navy and once more declared myself a Man of Fortune by which means and Falsehood which I gave on Persons in London.

POET's CORNER. ODE, written in a solitary Scene. SHOULD ev'ry earthly blessing fail, And storms of grief around me wait; Should ne'er a sweet through life avail, To smooth the harsh decrees of fate; In spite of charms that wait around Its pure, and unremitting flame. Should friendship's sacred self be found A lifeless shade, a specious name: Yet me, ye fleeting forms, ah! teach (Nor hence my weary soul entice) To place my views beyond your reach, Within the bright ætherial skies; Where comforts never known to fade, Shall feast the fondly-ravish'd eye; Where, friendship too, ah, lovely maid! Shall gently bloom, and never die. E. I. CALCUTTA PRICE CURRENT for the Month of August 1780. ALLUM 6 R per M. Broad Cloath Aurora 98 per piece, D. D. Midling 112 per do. Do. Do.
