H I C K Y's BENGAL GAZETTE; O R, Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None. From Saturday August 5th to Saturday August 12th 1780. [No. XXIX] By Letters from the Coast. WE are informed that Hyder and his troops are in the utmost distress for want of provisions and that they are now in great need of the grain which he so wantonly destroyed in that part of the Country (so that we may with propriety say that the Lot has fell upon Jonas) that he has lost upwards of half of his people, by the distemper which rages throughout his Camp. This with the late unfavourable accounts received from Europe of the ill success of the French against England, has struck such a Damp, to his Military Genius that he is afraid to make an attack upon Col. Keating. We hear that Col. Keating has been prepared for sometime, to give Hyder a warm reception and that the troops under his Command are all in good health, and wishes to have a brush with Hyder By Letters from Bombay. WE are informed that Rice is very scarce at that place, and now sells for Twelve Rupees the Bag, and that several of the people in and about Bombay are in the utmost Distress for want of that Article, but happily there is no scarcity of that Grain in the Garrison owing to the prudence of the Governor, who has taken care to be well provided against a scarcity. By Letters from Madras we are informed that the common Cargo Rice sells there for two Pagodes the Bag. C A L C U T T A. On Saturday Night last a Gentleman who lives in one of the Houses fronting the Esplanade, got up in his sleep and walked clear out of the Window, he fell to the ground quite upright and is now lays very ill from the shock which he received, but happily there is no bones broke, and great hopes of his being intirely out of Danger. On Tuesday last a large passage Boat which plys near chit pore Bridge, on crossing the River with thirty two passengers she was overset in a gale Wind about mid-channel, when twenty three out of the thirty-two were lost. The Hon'ble Gen. Sir EYRE COOTE was expected at Cossimbazzar the first of this Month, on his way down to the Presidency. The intervals of fair Weather is so very pleasant between the Rainy days that it has induced several Ladies and Gentlemen to form parties of pleasure and make short excursions up the River, to visit the settlements of Sirempore, Chandernagore Chinsura and Bandell. Sunday Night last some dispute arose beteen two English seamen and the Boats Crew of a Dutch Ship at or near Bernagore, one of the Dutch Seamen run to his boat and brought out four of the stretchers and armed himself and his Companions with them, the English seamen being intirely destitute of arms of any kind to defend themselvs with, got out a Chair, which they soon tore to pieces, and supplyed themselves, and began a smart tho' unequal engagement, being four to two, however victory Crown'd the English Tars. On Monday last as some poor men were endeavouring to shove their Boat off a sand Bank where she had grounded near Chingaree Creek, a remarkable Large old Tiger rushed out of a small Jungle close by, seized one of their companions and carried him off into the Jungle. The rest of the Boats crew took to the water and was picked up by another Boat, and the Boar coming in soon after, their Boat was overset and went to pieces in the surf. D E A T H ON Monday last about the hour of one o'Clock in the afternoon, of nervous fever and Flux, John Taylor Esq; many years a free Merchant in this Settlement. HIGH WATER at Calcutta from Saturday August the 5th, to Saturday August the 12th. H. M. 12 Saturday, 2 12 13 Sunday, 3 00 14 Monday, 3 48 15 Tuesday, 4 36 16 Wednesday, 5 24 17 Thursday, 6 12 18 Friday, 7 00 The Tale Bearer properly rewarded. AN honest Tradesman married a very agreeable Woman, who with many pleasing Attractions had some thing coquettish about her: However she had the art to blind her husband, and make him absolutely a Stranger to her Infidelities. A Bottle Companion endeavoured to open the Husband's Eyes, and to make him truly sensible of his Misfortune. The good Man, unwilling to be made unhappy, told him he had a firm confidence in his Wife's Integrity, and would not believe what he alledged against her. Well, said the friend I will give you a demonstrative Proof of what I assert. I will place myself under your Bed; you shall interrogate Madam; you must tell her she has met her Lover in the Neighbourhood frequently, she will deny every Thing of which you accuse her; you must then say, very well; now put your foot out of Bed and swear that you wish the Devil may take you if you ever played false to your Husband: She will certainly do as you bid her and I shall take her by the Foot. You will then hear the truth extorted from her, and be convinced of her Baseness. The Husband gave into the Plot and excuted it very punctiliously. The Lady when interrogated, as was foreseen fell into a great Passion, and swore that she was innocent; but when the Husband desired her to put her foot out of Bed by way of Confirmation, the lurking Devil laid hold of it. She fearing that all the Fiends of Hell was going to seize her, begged her Husband for Heaven's sake to pacify the Devil, and she would confess all, the good Man immediately complied and the poor Lady owned she met a certain Colonel at the House of her good Friend (the Wife of the Gentleman under the Bed) and that they had all been extremely happy, for that the Lady of the House had her Gallant the Captain who was excessively fond of her. The Husband chuckled at this, and the Poor Informer, out of his Wits to hear of his dishonour, ran home in a violent Passion. The following anonymous Letter was sent to Mr. Hicky the 19th. July Mr. EDITOR, AS I was perusing your Gazette of last Saturday, the answer to a Law Advertisement engaged my attention not that the answer itself deserves a moments thought, but I regarded it as a kind of Index to the very singular Ideas which preva l in the minds of some with respect to the s----s C----t. It

is not my Design, to vindicate the Honor of that C—t to celebrate it's upright J— nor to extol the Liberality of its Law-Professors: for besides that I am totally unfurnished with Materials for such a Work and know not I declare where in the World to find them; I think, in the present State of affairs nothing would be more imper- tinent than the Design itself. What I wish, is, never to see the Bengal Gazette less useful or agreeable than it is at pre- sent, but as much more as you please, and as I imagine it will not be the better, if at any time, the Editor should happen to write, less at his Freedom and ease, I take the Liberty of giving you a cauti- on in future not to admit that Stile of Writing so conspicuous in the Answer to a Law Advertisement, until you have advised with the most able Counsel, that you may not subject your Person to im- prisonment and expose your fortune to Ruin. I am, Mr, Editor, Your Ob. Hble Ser, LEX. CALCUTTA THEATRE. On MONDAY the 21st. Inst. will be Performed the TRAGEDY of MAHOMET with the FARCE of the CITIZEN. We hear that the Revd. Padrie D—s has set off to attend a certain Budgerow in highest expectation of a double oppor- tunity to exercise his facered function. Continued from our Last. I Procured Credit to cut a good Fi- gure, and began to pay my Address- es to the most considerable Ladies in the Island, in these attempts, as well as in most others (through the course of my Life) I did not fail of Success, and was just taking Possession of a fine Woman, and plenty of money, when the inauspicious Winds, returned my Bills protested, this was a deep cut, the News soon spread and alarmed the people, I was obliged to bear it, and to avoid a prison, to go on board a Privateer, then under Sail, with no more cloaths than what I had on my Back; the Captain and I had before been intimate and being himself of an enterprizing Genius he the more rea- dily countenanced me, and appointed me Captain of Marines, to share equaly with himself, we proceeded forwith to Lisbon, feasting and enjoying ourselves, regardless of the Purposes the Ship was intended for, at Lisbon the Captain raised money on the Credit of the own- ers of the Ship, and supplied me with a sufficiency to keep Pace with him in pleasure, here he discharged his first Lieutenant to put me in that Office, and to enable us to fulfil a Resolution we had formed of making a Cruise in the Mediterranean Seas and at the Ex- pence of our Employers, to visit the Ports of Italy: We took in Wines, Fruits, and the best of Provisions, and were preparing to depart; when an un- lucky Accident had like to have frus- trated our intentions and involved us in a long train of Difficulties. My no- ble Captain and myself having an Inclination to amuse ourselves with the Dulcinsas of Portugal, had at the Ex- pence of two Moidores, each engaged a partner for the Night: frequent Em- braces having lulled us to sleep, about the Hour of two in the Morning, we were awakened by the Noise of the Watch forcibly entering the House; in this Consternation we hurried on our cloaths and agered it to be most pru- dent Method when we found the cham- ber Door beset, to jump out of the Window, and leave the Ladies to shift for themselves, a very little time brought them up Stairs, and as little conveyed us out of the Window Sword in Hand, but how great was our Surprize to find at the Corner of the street, a part of the Patrole in Ambush, who immedi- ately surrounded us, the Noise gathered them all together, and as we knew the consequence of being taken, we deter- mined to stand upon our Defence, the Portuguse, who are notorious Cowards, endeavoured to knock us down with their Clubs, but as Fortune will'd it, in about ten minutes we saw three of them at our feet, and the rest running away; flush'd with this Success, we returned to the House to bid adieu to our Damsels, intending to go immedi- ately on board, slip the Cable and put to Sea. But in less than five minutes, they returned with a Reinforcement, took us both, bound us, and conducted us to the Trunk. As the Morning advanced, we began to consider of our Situation, expecting we had killed one, or more, and must die for it, conse- quently very agreeable must be the Ac- count that informed us no one was mortally wounded, and that the Affair might be amicably settled for money; here we experienced the Value of a Letter of Credit, and the Efficacy of fifty Moidores which in four Hours, procured us our Liberty, the Portuguse had been slightly pricked and feeling the Emission of their blood, conceited themselves dying, though in fact they were very little hurt, the Interposition of their long Staff's I imagine prevented our thrusts from having the intented Effect, the same Day we repaired to our Vessel, weighed Anchor, and set sail with a fair Wind; we passed through Gibralter Gut. And directed our course for the Island of Sardinia; here at Cagliari the Capital Town we indulged ourselves in voluptuous living Gretian Wines and Gretian Women, until grown cloy'd by Repetition we put to Sea to gather strength, and re- new the Fabrick: in this Cruise, my brother Lieutenant discovered, a dislike to our proceedings, and had made a party in the ship to insist on returning Home; but, in our private Consulta- tions, it was indifinitively concluded to admit no Obstructions to our plea- sures, but to force the opposite Faction on board the first neutral Vessel we should meet, this we found no Diffi- culty to accomplish, for as they were all addicted to plunder they were fond to board every Ship we spoke with; a Day, or two brought us in sight of a Snow from London for Genoa, belong- ing to that Republick, the Ring lead- ers of the opposite were called to man the Boat, and the Lieutenant to his Duty; having put off from our Ship's side and at the Distance of about ten yards, we fired one of our great Guns with Powder only, right over the Boat and ordered them to rest upon their Oars, we then pointed two other pieces, laden with Grape Shot, directly at the Boat and assured them that we would instantly send them to the bottom if they did not immediately throw all their Arms they had with them into the Sea; this they complied with, we then informed them, that as they were desirous to return to their own Coun- try we intended to give them an Op- portunity so to do and to offer them no further Harm, upon which we or- dered the Boat a long-side, and the Lieutenant to go in the Bow, who no jumped into the Stern-Sheets with a Case of loaded Pistols, and a drawn Sword; we then rowed towards the Vessel. Keeping within the Command of our Privateer's Guns: I found their Papers correspondent to what they hailed, and then told the Genosse Capt. that the Persons in the Boat had plun- dered Goods and Effects out of several Vessels belonging to their Republick, and for that he might take them to Ge- noa to answer the charge; the Captain would willingly have declined, being insisted on it, and forwith put them all in Irons on the Main Deck, the num- ber twelve on one boat; I then made some of the Genosse row me to our Ves- sel: and then wrote Letters to his Bri- tannick Majesty's Consul at that Place, and returned with men to convey me back: thus we confirmed ourselves ab- solute, and struck a Terror in the Re- sidue of the Crew, and although the indentical Persons sent away, never had committed many outrages on the high Seas against the Republick of Ge- noa, and several other neutral Ports. I have since been informed they were all set at Liberty immediately after their Arrival, being relieved from the Danger of Mutiny, and apparently secure by conforming to our inclinations, we al- ways made every Wind, a fair Wind; and whatever Habour happened to be under our Lee; when our Provisions, or Liquor failed, we immediately bore away for it, we touched at Leghorn, Na- ple's, Cyprus, Sicily, and Tunis, and at every place got supplies, and continued in the same manner, till at last our for- ged Credentials were known throughout the Streights, and our Credit stopt, so that to make a Virtue of Necessity we were obliged to shift our station having not taken one Prize in ten Months; we had Information of the Discovery from another Privateer at Sea, and not having Provisions enough to carry us to England. we were obliged to put into Gibraltar; here, in ten Days for ready Money we supplied our- selves, sailed away, and arrived safe at Guernsey. Having run the Ship above four Thousand Pounds in Debt; with what Effrontery my good Captain (whom I never saw since) faced the Merchants I cannot determine, but for my part I never adventured on shore but the First Evening after our arrival I went on bord a Man of War Sloop then in the Road, and in her I took Passenger to Plymouth; Here the second Day after my Arrival, in defending a Captain B. C. I was run through the Body, lay five Weeks in extreame Pain, and my recovery was esteemed by the skilful, as Miraculous; Being greatly strong I purposed to have another touch at Privateering and having ob- tained thirty pounds on a false Bill from a Jew in Plymouth, I set out for Bristol, here I was not long before

[Column 1] myself Lieutenant of a Privateer, went out a four Months Cruise: and returned without any success, I must not here omit this Thing, that we put into the Groin in Spain where I became acquainted with a Girl about fourteen Years of Age, the Master piece of Nature, and some Months afterwards went in the Packet from Falmouth to renew our intimacy.

**COLUMN 1** POET's CORNER To Miss —. THOU dear delayer of my hov'ring fate, Thou best supporter of my wretched state. The last sad precepts which you here will find, “Grave on the lasting tablet of your mind:” Ere this receiv'd—ere you the cause have read, My name shall number with the guilty dead: My love of you protracts my doom a-while, I fain would see—but dare not see to smile; One look of you would make me quite forego My fix'd resolve, and live in spite of woe. E'en now indulging in the thought I fly To meet thy love, and almost fear to die— Another such a thought would but impart Some keener pang to rack my tortur'd heart. In one sad moment all my prospects flew My promiss'd bliss—felicity in you. One curst epistle, dictated in haste, Laid all my stock of future pleasures waste, Depriv'd me of my friend—a grand-fire's love, Nor left one spark of happiness above; Bid me go draw a servile galling chain, Nor think to wish, nor murmur to complain. Meanly insulted, with my thoughts opprest, With future views of poverty distrest. No prospect to approve myself a friend, No tinct of joy with misery to blend; My thoughts aspiring to be truly great, And scarce contented with my former state: What could I do? A gleam of heav'nly joy Prepar'd my mind, and taught me how to die. If you conceded to a ling'ring strife, Shall wish to tread the flow'ry paths of life; Think not your forbid wishes to obtain, By sharing anguish in another's pain; 'T is not a life of elegant desire, The sentimental anguish you inspire, Will give that bliss, that happiness and peace, Which springs more sure from dull base minded ease: Some peace, indeed, attends the vestal's lot, “To sigh in silence, by the world forgot;” But more attends the housewife's middle state, If plac'd superior to the frowns of fate: A loving husband, upright, and sincere, Might make a little eligible dear. If the fond matron you shall chance to prove, Dictate your humours to your husband's love; Instruct your offsprings with a jealous care, And make them subtile as you form them fair; Teach them a sense of honour—not too nice, Preferring virtue, most detesting vice: Let gen'ral love bear most a sov'reign sway, Guided by sense, e'en truth may here obey. Let love instruct you.—If a thought of me Shall in those times exert a friendly plea. Think how from rapid whirls of promis'd joy My sudden fate had summon'd me to die: Pity the weakness of a timid mind, And learn from me the lesson I resign'd. Felo dese. CALCUTTA, Printed by J. A.
