HICKY's BENGAL GAZETTE; OR, Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None. From Saturday August 12th to Saturday August 19th, 1780. [No. XXX] CALCUTTA THEATRE. On MONDAY the 21st. Inst. will be Performed the TRAGEDY of MAHOMET with the FARCE of the CITIZEN. From the Syble Frigate arrived at the Cape. WE learn that the English Fleet had met with the Grand combined fleets of France and Spain, and had a desperate and bloody Engagement, which terminated in the Total defate of the combined Fleets, when nine sail of the Spanish Men of War was taken, six went down during the Engagement teribly shattered, four burnt, and the remainder put to flight, being so much disabled they were obliged to crowd all the sail they possibly could, and seek for shelter in their own Ports. The Americans on discovering the base designs of their new allies the French and Spaniards, had defended themselves, with a brave and Warlike spirit,—And immediately deputed Messrs, Handcock, Adams, Silias Dean and Doctor Franklin, to open a treaty of Coalition with Great Britain, and the last Letters mention that an Armistice had taken place. We are informed that all the Counties in England had remonstrated. We also hear that Lord Gower had resigned his Office as President of the Council, and some other changes had taken place, but that Lord North still remained at the Helm. We are informed that the English Privatteers and Letters of Mart have taken an incredible number of the Enemies rich Merchant Ships both French and Spaniards, and that their trade is totally ruined both in France and Spain. We are informed that the Hon’ble Chas. Fox, is coming out in the Charracter of Envoy from his Britannick Majesty to the King of Delhi. MADRAS, July 23d, 1780. LAST Night late arrived here the London Captain Webb the Duke of Portland Captain Sutton, the Bridgewater Captain Parker, and the York from England. They put into Rio Janerio at which place they made but a very short stay, they are bound for China. They saw the French Fleet in the Eastern Seas.—And have brought a Number of Passengers, amongst which are the following Gentlemen, Mr. Sullivan late Secretary here, Colonel Feletcher Brother of the late Sir Robt. Brigadier General of that Name, who died at the Mauritius on his way home to England after the late unhappy revolution. And about twenty young Ladies, some of which are irresistably handsome and no doubt will make some very capital conquests, both here and at Bengal. The Pacquets were opened this Day at Noon, which contained a great variety of Letters for Bengal. By letters from Madras we have the following agreeable information. THAT Sir Edward Hughes K. B. Is in perfect health, and Vigour at Madras, and much caressed at the Durbar.—The Aair of the Coast of Choromandel agrees extreamely well with this Brave and vigilant Adm. and the Monsieurs expect him at the Mauritias as soon as the Moonson breaks up. And that the British Tarrs in Sir Edwards Fleet are in the utmost impatience wishing for employment against the Enemies of their Country. Last accounts from Surat mentions. THAT Genr. Goddard is incessantly Harrassed by the Maharrattas and short of provissions of every kind, and that the Mharattas expected strong reinforcements from the French at the Mauritias and were forming enterprizes both against the Carnatic and the provinces. One of our compleat Brigades stationed in the Center of the Maharratta Country would effectually check the Machination of these indisciplined Banditti.—This plan and the extirptation of the French out of the Mautitias by our Fleet, would secure us the quiet possession of the whole Peninsula, the Abbe Regnall observes that till this plan is Effected the conquest of Hindostan began by Clive is incompleat, and the Teritorial acquisitions insecure. ARRIVALS at MADRAS. ARRIVED four days ago the Besborough Capt Montgomery from the Malabar Coast for China, who with the Lascells makes six more of the Hon’ble company's Ships for China this season. TRANQUABAR, 19th. of July 1780. This day sailed the Europe Ships for China. CALCUTTA. WE are informed that there will be a MASUERADE, at Madras as soon as the late arrived English Beauties recovers from the fatigue of their passage from England and that all the Honourable Company's Servants both Civil and Military are now vying with each other in their dress and manner in order to render themselves pleasing to these accomplished beauties. The young Beaus at Madras has carried it so far that they have not only made alterations in their Dress, but have extended it to the Furniture of their Houses, decorations of their Carriages, Horses, and Servants. There's nothing pollishes a young Man so much as being in Love with a fine Woman, in short it not only improves him in his address and conversation, but it also softens his heart and inspires it with tenderness and humanity. If the influence of these bright Northern Starrs, has already so inflamed the hearts of the inexperienced youths of Madras what must be the attendant Consequences when those Beauties arrives at Bengal. I am apprehensive that they will make great havock here, amongst the bright and accomplished youths in the Civil and Military line now on this Establishment. Men already blest with every tender feeling for the fair Sex, must unavoidably be set all in a blaze the moment these bright Northern Luminaries appear at the Theatre, Ball, or Harmonic, and the Poets Corner in the Bengal Gazette, will breathe nothing but loves, darts, and daggers. We hear that Hugh Baillie Esq; is preparing to set off for the Court of Aigram where he is appointed the Hon’ble Company's Resident. We are informed that Rajah Nob—is set off for Burdwan on a visit to the R——y of that province.

Continued from our Last. AS I shall have occasion to speak of hereafter returning from thence I engaged in another Pivatier belonging to Bristol and had no better Fortune than before, so that having contracted some Debts, I was arrested, and Men being then wanted to Man the Fleets. I had my choice to enter for the Kings service or go to goal, the former id may be reasonably supposed I embraced; The Brilliant Frigate, was then in King's Road, and on board of her I was put as common Man; Time however discovered Merit conspicuous in me for a better Station, and I was once more put on the Quarter Deck, and at different times acted in different Capacities of a Midshipman and Mate, in which latter Office I appeared at the Reduction of the gallant Thurot, and came in one of conquered Frigate to Spithead; there was then riding the Swiftfure from which I had formerly deserted, with the same Commander who thought proper to make me a Prisoner, and to have me tried by a Court-Martial, the result of which was that I was acquitted on the Evidence of a Commissioned Officer, that I returned under the Proclamation during my imprisonment on board the Swiftfure, a Transaction happened that occasioned my getting clear of her; two Women of the West Country came to see one of our Crew, they stayed on board a Night or two, and a principal Officer found means to get one of them to his bed, and I the other; my Lady was tolerably condecending, but the other, when she got on shore went and swore a Rape against the Officer, which made him think it necessary that I should remain to be a Witness in his behalf; the issue of the Trial I am not acquainted with, for as I knew I could do him no Service, I decamped, with a Resolution to live upon Land, and no more eat the Bread of slavery, I was now quite destitute of money, and obliged to have recourse to my Wits, for which Purpose I took a Lodging in a Part of Portsmouth, where I was not known, and although I kept myself pretty much retired, I soon got acquainted with some new Female Faces and to one in particular I declared honourable Love and under pretence that I was ordered to London to get a Lieutenant's Commission, on repeated Protestations to make her my Wife at my return, I borrowed thirty Guineas from her Brother with which I once more set out for London and in a few Days having consumed the greater part of it in Riot an excess, I was induced to commit a Forgery on Mr. C. T. for which I have been since tried and acquitted at the Old-Bailey; the Money thereby obtained (being wearied, and unsafe in the Town and thinking of my pretty engaging Spaniard) defrayed the expence of my Journey to Falmouth; where I embarked on board one of the Pacquets and arrived safe at the Groin, here I found the most exquisite Piece of Workmanship that ever my Eyes beheld, in Raptures ready to diselose ambrosial Kisses, and to open a new, dear delightful Scene, which in the Prodigality of Eloquence cannot, be described, her Figure, Form, and conveyances of Love remain unrivalled in my Breast; yet let not the vivyfying Thought so far transport me, as to make me forget a plan well laid, and executed previous to my Departure from England; to make our Happiness there the more Consumate; I had before made myself acquainted with the British Consul and by dining with him once or twice I learned the names of his Correspondents in England and the Nature of his Connections, and moreover had taken a Letter out of his Parlour which I thought would one time or other prove serviceable to me; the Hand writing of this Letter. I counterfeited to admiration, in the same Stile wrote a Letter of Credit in behalf of myself, and another of Advice by the Post to confirm the one I carried, the Letters importing that I was to travel to St. Sebastians by Land, on Business of Consequence, and that my Bills would be duly honoured, for five Hundred Pounds, the Bait took, and before I had any Notion of applying to him, he was searching for me up and down the Town of Corrunna; when he found me I made an apology that the Fatigues of Voyage had incapacitated me to go abroad, or to proceed on my Journey; in return, he congratulated me on my safe Arrival, invited me to his House behaved extreamly gentel, was satisfied with my Credentials, and never remembered to have seen me before, but if he had, there was no room to suspect a Cheat. Being resolved to enjoy as much of the Company of my fair Enchantress as possible, I concluded it best to feign an indisposition, and not to ask any money until I absolutely wanted it; all I had to tear was, that he should answer the Letter before I had given him a Bill to remove which Danger, I began to recover my Health in about a Fort-night, and went to acquaint him that I thought myself well enough to undertake the Journey, he immediately asked the what money I should want, and without the least hesitation furnished me with one Hundred Pistols for which I gave a Draught on his Friend; he also favored, me with a Letter to a Merchant at St. Sebastian becoming responsible for the remainder of my Credit, as was requested in the Letter to him; the greatest Difficulty was yet to come, how to get away the desirable Partner of my heart, of whom I was no way satiated by Enjoyment, the Mask was hard, for although in her Fathers House, she stole every Night to slumber in my Arms, yet none of the Family suspected her intimacy, nor was it easy to persuade her to leave her Home, force of Argument accomplished what I shall ever repent, she consented and eloped, we went safe to St. Sebastians; here I was carressed, my Credit was established, and my conversation coveted: the first week I took care to secure four Hundred Pistoles in Specie and about the Value of one Hundred more in Silk and Linens, &c. and in about twenty Days, a Courier arrived from Corrunna, to contradict my Credit, and to have me secured, the dear Object of my Love.
