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 19th to Saturday August 26th 1780. [No. XXXI] By Letters from Madras dated 26th. July 1780. WE are informed that Hyder Alley's troops to the amount of 10,000 under the Command of one of his Sons, had taken Porta Nova and had carried off Mr. Gowin Harrup Factor to the Danish Company Prisoner, that they had taken and plundered Chillimbrim, Pagoda, Burnt Conjeveram, and in short all the way from Pondichery until within 15 Miles of Madras, they had laid the whole Country from Pondichery to Madras one continued scene of devestation and Destruction. The main body of Hyder's Troops, is not yet in motion, it consists of 40,000 Horse, and about 30,000 Foot, but parties consisting of about 10,000 Horse makes excursions into different parts of the Country and Robs Ruins and destroys all before them. The Inhabitants both Europeans and Natives who lived under the protection of the British Flag for several Miles round, have fled to Madras for shelter, and the Houses and Streets of that place are now so full that they can scarcely find room to lay themselves down. Rice previous to this unexpected invasion we are informed was twelve Rupees the Bag. If at so high a Price then, what must it be now, when a sufficient Quantity, for so great a number of People is not to be obtained for any Money. Hyder Ally we are informed, has given strict orders to all the Officers under his Command to hold themselves in readiness, as he is in daily expectation of the French fleet from the Mauritias. All the French inhabitants in every English settlement on the Coast has received Orders, to depart in Twenty eight days, on pain of imprisonment. We have the pleasure to inform the Public that General Goddard and all his Troops are in perfect Health and Spirits. The English Troops at Madras has taken the Field, and are now on their march towards the Capital of Hyder which they intend to take burn and destroy. Extract of a letter from Madras 23d. July 1780. HYDER ALLEY, with about 10,000 of his Army has entered the Carnatic and the Presidency and all the other towns of security on the Coast are at present so over stocked with people, that we have every reason to expect a Famine. There is not a House or spare Godown in the settlement but is crowded and numbers of people of property are obliged to lay in the Streets such numbers from all Parts of the Country having fled for safety to the Garrison. Rice has not only, advanced in Price but, it begins to grow scarce and the attendant consequence may prove very fatal, if we are not, speedily supplied from Bengal. Fort St. George Madras 28th July 1780. HYDER has now entered the Carnatic with a determined resolution to lay it waste, and his force is so very considerable, and well appointed, there is every probability of his not being drove from it easily. The Country is intirely destroyed, all its inhabitants flying to the Presidency, and Towns on the Sea Coast for safety, Cultivation must of course cease, and unless very extraordinary supplys are immediately given us, a Famine will be the unavoidable consequence of Course Rice will be a great object. In my last I sent you an account of the number of Ladies which has arrived in the late Ships, there came Eleven in one Vessel, (too great a Number for the peace and good order of a Round House. Milinary must rise at least 25 per cent, for the above Ladies when they left England was well stocked with Head Dresses, of different kinds, formed to the highest Ton. — But from the unfortunate disputes, which daily arose during the space of the Three 1st Months of the passage, they had scarce a Cap left when they arrived. The arrival of the French fleet from the Mauritias is daily expected, on the Coast, to reinforce Hyder. De Estang we hear has sailed from Europe with fourteen sail of the Line, besides Frigates, Bums, and Transports, on board of which it is said, there is seven thousand Land forces. We are informed that the Manilians are fitting out five Ships of War at Caveta besides Transports, these warlike preparations, it is conjectured are either for the defence of the Phillipian Isles, or to assist the French. And that they have been making great improvements at Manlia, on their Fortifications, and have formed a Body of Militia for the defence of that Garrison, they have obliged the Chineas to take up Arms. They say there is upwards of 2,000 Chineas, inhabitants in that place. The Manillians we are informed are in expectation of a Fleet of Men of War from Old Spain, on board of which they expect seven thousand Land Forces. By a letter from Madras 29th. July 1780. WE are informed that Hyder Ally's Flag is Flying at Porto Nova, in view of the British Fleet. Governor WHITTAL, has acted with great Judgment and spirit, at this critical Juncture, by compelling the Armenians, and Rich Dubashes to pay into the Treasury at Madras, a Crore of Pagodas at interest, a Measure truly Politic, and Justifiable that those who derive, their wealth under the liberality of the English, should contribute during exigencies in return for the protection they receive. — The Banians here (who are amasing incredible Fortunes by impositions Useary and extortion) might be made more useful Instruments to Governments than they are at present, they now in some degree resemble those drones the Rich Abbots in England, before the time of Harry the 8th. that Pucca Monarh. Sir Hector Munro is forming a grand plan of operations in concert with several other great Military Genious's, on the Coast. Lord Mc. 'Leod has taken the Field with his Highlanders and six Battallions of Seapoy's against Hyder. CALCUTTA. Tuesday night late advice was received Here. OF the taking of the very important and (by the Mharrattas thought) impregnable Fortress of Gwalia, Capt. Popham with his small Detachment.

of draughts affected this great acqui-sition on the Morning of the 4th. Inst. by Escalade, with the loss of only 14 Sepoys wounded. The taking of Fort Gaulier by escalade which happened the 4th instant at dawn of Day is a matter of the last impor-tance, it will enable Major Carmac to march directly to the capital of the Maharatta Prince who has an Army and has by his, activity and conduct been the life of the Maratta Cause against General Goddard, but who will by this event be called to the defence of his own Dominions.—their Force thus divided and on the hither side obliged to act offensively gives the fairest Hopes that the vigorous operations of the two armies the ensuing campaign will pro-duce an honourable and advantageous peace. The Fort of Gaulier has for ages been the state prison of the King's of Hindostan, was always well garrisoned and provided, and from its natural strength has, ever been considered as impregnable. The talents of Capt. Popham, in planning and executing such an impor-tant enterprize with his little Army cannot be sufficiently admired, and the benifits resulting from it, at this cri-tical time are likely to equal the ability and gallantry of the exploit. It is ex-pected that Major Carmac has by this time joined Capt. Popham with four Battalions. It was feared the reduction of the Fort of Gaulier would have detained Major Carmac half the campaign. If our Bretheren on the Coast, act with vigour and address, like the hand-ful of Seapoys at Gaulier, it is not improbable but Hyder his Army and treasure may come short home, he has left a train of fortifications behind him. A Few Days ago a dispute arrose between two young Gentlemen not ma-ny miles from serampore about a Lady of a sooty complexion, the Friends of both were under some apprehensions that a Duel woud have been the Con-sequence, but it happily, ended in a reciprical Bustinado. We hear that Counsellor Lawrance is appointed to succeed North Naylor, Esq; as secretary to the Revenue Audaulut Council. The Hon'ble Fred. Stuart and Lord Carlisse, are talked of to fill up the Vacancies in Council. Richard Johnson Esq; arrived in Town on Sunday last from his Tour in perfect Health. Colonel Wilding is likewise arrived at the Presidency in Health and Spirits from Berhampore. HIGH WATER at Calcutta from Satur-day August the 26th, to Saturday September the 2d. H. M. 26 Saturday, at 8 36 27 Sunday, 9 24 28 Monday, 10 12 29 Tuesday, 11 00 30 Wednesday, 11 48 31 Thursday, 12 36 1 Friday, 1 24 Continued from our last. AS if ordained to protect her De-stroyer first heard the unwel-come News, communicated it to me, and on her knees intreated I would dis-regard her, and take care of myself, She refused to accompany me, Kisses and Tears were intermixed at parting; I flew to a Schooner bound to Dublin, sailed that very Day, and went safe to Tenmore, how shall I inlarge my theme in praise of that inimitable, of Inimi-tables: what Consolation was an Hun-dred Pistoles to a wounded Heart? I condemn myself for leaving her, more than for all the evil Actions of my life, she never returned Home, but from the account I have since received, died in four Days melancholly Mad, Not-withstanding this severe stroke, to be separated from one I dearly loved, I could not dissent from my darling pas-sion, but in Ireland, under a fictious Name, was introduced to the Nobility, and Families of the first Fashion, set up an Equipage, passed for a Man of great Estate, addressed and was encou-raged by Ladies of Fortune, and Di-stinction, and at one and the same time was on the point of Marriage with the Daughter of one Nobleman and the Neice of another by consent of all Parties, a third I am Married to no way inferior to either; 'tis amazing to what Perfection I arrived in the art of pleasing and commanding Confidence, yet at Length Justice display's, the Ballance, and evinces to the World I am not the Man I represent; I am ar-rested for Debt, thrown into a Goal, pitied by some, despised by others, and allowed by all to want nothing but the Acres to constitute me what I vainly aimed at, my dear Wife, by whom I have two Children living, comforts me, in my distress, discovers an ama-zing constancy and sincerity of Heart, and manifests the known Truth, that it was not the Name, the Title, or the Equipage she wedded to, but seem-ingly joyful at the Deception, hugs and forgives the Deceiver, and despises the Allurements of Splendor and Mag-nificence. Behold me in a Prison im-mured, living on the gaudy Trappings of a Beau, until all's consumed, Neg-lected by my Wife's Friends, though not by her, and, reduced at last to an uncommon degree of distress. Fortune once more pitied my Condition, and pointed out the way to escape, and as if I had been the whole Time sleeping o'er my calamities, I in an instant rou-sed as from a Lethargy, made the At-tempt, and obtained my Freedom: a few Days I secreted myself in a private part of the Town, to give my Wife time to raise me some money, but as she could get none from her Friends, consented to pawn her Watch and other Trinkets, for Forty Pounds; with this money I went to a neigh-bouring Sea Port, and took my passage for the Isle of Man; my Wife would most readily have accompanied me, but I objected as it might be the means of discovering me, but promised to send for her as soon as possible however I never did; and I readily must confess, that although she possessed all that's deserving or desirable in a Woman, I never had the real Affection for her which the indissoluable Knot engaged me to; had she been my Mistress. I might have loved her better. The Propensity of Mankind to Variety is strange; and I can give no reason for mine more than this, that antecedent To any Transaction here written, I had in the County of Northampton, deposited my Heart in a Virgin's Breast, who failed in Credit and Sincerity; that loss was never lulled in the Possession of any other but my fair Spaniard, and here I cannot but remark a Certainty I have many years known, that unsettled Minds, and unsatisfied Dispositions, sooner or later terminate in shameful, Destruction, and that the ultimate End. of their Grand Pursuit tends to make them obnoxious to Posterity; in the Isle of Man, I discovered the same gay and volatile Disposition, and was begining to get the Countenance of the Mer-chants and Esteem of the Ladies; when an account of my Irish Debts and Escape and Description of my Person came there, With Orders to secure me, however I was too nimble for them, and before they had time to take out an action against me I was on Board a Li-verpool Trader, and some Leagues at Sea; when arrived at our destined Port I was more at a Loss than ever, having very little money, and no acquaintance, my Wits were obliged once more to go to work and having made myself ac-quainted with some Merchants Clerks, and found out their Masters Correspond-ents in London; I wrote Letters as from one of those, to his friend in Liverpool. importing that I came from Dublin designing to go for London in order to buy a Ship, and had Six Hunder'd pounds Credit on their House and that I having signified to them I could suit myself in Liverpool, they beg'd I might be furnished with the foremention'd Sum, and (as usual) that my Bills should have prompt payment, the Let-ters I inclosed to a Friend in London, calculating the posts to date them, pro-perly; and in due time they came, one to me, as his answer to mine, and to validate the other; the Scheme could not fail, the writing being perfectly well done, and shortly after the post came in, the Livers began to appear, some to sell Ships and others to ad-vance the money to pay for them I de-clined treating with any until I should examine the Hulls, Rigging, etc. and for that Purpose, went on Board several and asked other people's opinion who were reputed Judges: at the Expiration of four Day I had agreed for a Snow at Four Hundred and Fifty Pounds but how to get the Money into my own Hands I could not tell at last I founded the integrity of the Person I had Bargained with; he was himself Commander of the Vessel, and had di-rections from his owners in Cork to dis-pose of her, I found him like all the rest of Mankind, that Money would fashion him to any thing; and accordingly ac-quainted him that I really did not want the Vessel but under that Sanction expected to get a sum of Money out of the Hands of some Merchants in Lon-don; who were Executors to a Will, wherein, I was a principal Legatee, he admired the Excellence of this Con-trivance, and we very shortly agreed that the sale should be transacted in pro-per Form and he receive the Money.

POET's CORNER On the much lamented Death of Lieut. James Gooldfrap.—By a very particular friend of his at M—e July the 30th. 1780. GOOLDFRAP Dead! then Welcome darkest night Dear best of friends! what now conjeal'd delight. Oh! Death, pale archer, Lord of fallen men So soon to snatch him, from this lifes short 'span. Ir—e. To you while living ever was his court As you shew'd him, such Fatherly support He now lies Mouldring, to primæval dust Dead—In return let not his memory rust. Gooldfrap was. A form adorn'd with ev'ry pleasing grace, A soul where ev'ry virtue held a place, His pleasing conversation was desired By all who knew him, and by all admir'd, Rever'd and lov'd a friend sincere was found, Bless'd with each grace, with ev'ry virtue crown'd. But Ah! his race is run he's now no more! Waft the sad sound, to distant Englands shore; Grim Death he met with an Angelic mind, Compos'd, serene, and calm, his life resign'd. Cease Æsculpeans, nor think to save By art—those Mortals destin'd to the Grave; Nor all the meads, nor all the Balmy stores, Of bless'd Arcadia, or of India's shores: Nor fields Elysian, can yeild relief, They cannot sooth, or cure, his friends sad grief. Beyond the skies his soul has ta'en its flight, Thro' starry Orbs to endless realms of light. From Pole to Pole his deathless fame shall fly. And tho' he's Dead, his name shall never Die. Amico. G.
