From Saturday August 26th to Saturday September 2d 1780. [No. XXXII]

**Column 1**
By Letters from Bombay,
WE are informed that General GODDARD, has taken all the Country and Forts from the Maharrattas, between Bombay and Surat, Namely Nansary, Gundary, Panella, and many other places, and as soon as the rains are over he intended attacking Baseen, and that he was within fifteen miles of that place when this account came away.—Baseen is a Remarkable well fortified Seaport Town, with an exceeding good Harbour, were Ships of any Burthen can Ride at Anchor in security in the Greatest storm.
General Goddard, his Officers and all his people are in an excellent state of health, and Flushed by the very uncommon success they have met with against the Maharrattas, they are in great spirits, not in the least doubting but they will soon make Baseen their own in a very few days, from which they hope to derive Honours, to themselves, and a considerable Treasure for their Hon'ble employers.
***
By Letters from Tillichery.
WE are informed that Hyder Alley, still continues the Siege against that place, and that they kept a constant fireing when the last accounts came away,—That the Natives of that place are determined, one and all, to assist the Company's Forces, in making a Vigorous defence against the Enemy.
***
By letter from Bombay 10th. July 1780.
WE learn that Rice is much Cheaper in that Settlement than has been lately reported, that about twenty days ago it was no more than six Rupees the bag, and that there did not seem from the quantity of that grain supposed to be in the settlement, that there was any foundation, for that report which had been so industriously set forth, of an Approaching Famine.
That the Governor had prudently guarded against a scarcity, by laying in a sufficient quantity for the use of the Garrison.

**Column 2**
News from Bombay. By the Ship Free Mason, formerly the Lady Vernon, Goddard Williams, arrived here in 20 days from that place, She touched at Tillechery and sent a Packet on shore, the place had been besieg'd by Hyder and his Troops who had met with a warm reception, she also called in at Anjengo,—and was informed that General Goddard had taken the Country and all the Forts from the Mahrattas between Surat and Bombay, And that he intended to attack Baseen as soon as the Rains were over.
***
By the last accounts from Madras.
WE learn that Lord Mc'Leod had actually taken the Field, and was on his march to the Capital of Hyder, which he intended to plunder, burn, and destroy.
That Sir Hector Munro was also ready to march on some secret expedition, but to what part of the Country they could not justly ascertain.
That Sir Edward Hughes had also got ready to sail, and that every body at Madras seemed in great hopes of our fleet falling in with the French fleet. which is daily expected to the assistance of Hyder, if so, Sir Edward will give them a warm reception, and render them incapable of lending any assistance to their friend Hyder.
They have received a very plentiful and timely supply of Rice last Month, which has been a great relief to the Minds, as well as the bodies of vast Numbers of poor people in that settlement, as it has not only supply'd their present necessities, but has lowered the Price of that Grain considerably.
The late accounts having arrived at Madras of the success of our Arms against Hyder has quieted the Minds of all those who fled for shelter to Madras from the out parts of the Country, and are now preparing for their return, to their respective Places of abode, having been informed, that all those in the remote parts of the Country who had in the late alarming report of a Famine, (hoarded up the Rice, and Pady,) are now exposing of it to sale, this circumstance will most undoubtedly disapoint the Bengal Merchants who no doubt were in high expectations of amassing large Fortunes from their Trade in that Grain, to Madras, and Bombay.
We hear that all kinds of Europe Goods sells so very low at Madras, that the Captains of the English Ships will either sell their investments to the Country Captains, or consign them to their friends at Bengal, the former mode, most likely they will adopt, being fond of bringing money with them to China.
CALCUTTA.
THE weather has been so very fine for several Days past that it has induced several Ladies, and Gentlemen of Rank and fortune in the settlement to form parties, in order to make short and pleasant excursions, up the River to the different settlements, of Sirempore, Chandernagore, Chinsura and Bandell. and intends setting off, as soon as the next heavy shower of Rain is over, the Bugerows Provisions, Wines, &c. &c. are already provided.
We are informed that Sir Edward Hughes is going to send, a large Cutter round to Bengal to press seamen for the Kings Service.
We learn that several People has been suddenly carried off within these few days by Tumours, in the Neck, Symptoms of a very unusual nature.
It is reported that in consequence of the Portagues having refused to let the ships of the Americans into their Harbours, it is supposed it will be Productive of a Rupture between them and the Colonists.

A N E C D O T E.
AS a Lady and her Maid were on their way to Town in a Post Chaise, they were attacked by a High-way Man on Hounslow-Heath, it is remarkable, the Lady so far from being intimidated gave up her purse and Watch at his request, and entered into such a facetious conversation with him, that he generously returned the purse with its contents, only taking one Guinea, the Purse was remarkably rich.
The above circumstance is a convincing proof, of the powe, of Female Charms, and how much we are indebted to the Fair Sex.
A Correspondents letter is Received but will not be inserted it abounds with scurrility and National reflections, and is in fact calculated in every respect, to Violate, and injure the characters of a very respectable and useful set, of Gentlemen in this settlement.
The Money which was inclosed in the said packet convey's so strongly, the Idea of a Bribe that it will not be accepted of, and will be returned when call'd for.
The speech of the Hon'ble CHARLSE FOX, in Westminster Hall.
MR. FOX, in a most eloquent oration, addressed the assembly, and informed them, that he never received any command with so much heartfelt satisfaction, as he did the orders of that meeting, to present their petition to parliament, The unanimous determination of so numerous a body of men, to whom corruption had not yet extended, had in itself a reverence and respect that would make it successful and he felt himself particularly honoured in being chosen, on this solemn occasion, to express to the House of Commons what they conceived to be necessary, and what they expected to be done. Being thus honoured with the commands of the meeting, he could not resist the temptation which he felt, to say a few words on the subject of their grievances in addition to what had been so ably and properly urged by the two gentlemen who had already spoken. If he were to enumerate all the instances, in which the present administration had lavished the public Money, and on which they had refused to give the smallest account, he knew, that he should exhaust the patience of the Meeting.
He could only assure them, on the word of an active member of Parliament. who for ten years together, had given unremitting attention to their conduct, that there was apparent in every transaction, the most shameful and infamous waste---the most unparalleled misapplication of the public treasure, that money was granted from year to year with the most culpable extravagance on the part of the parliament, and that if any member was officious enough to request that the nation Might be informed for what purpose the money was wanted, to what it had been applied for and that vouchers, too the expenditure should be produced, they were treated with the most haughty contempt and given to understand, that it was enough for Parliament to know that the money which was acquired had been spent---that perhaps it would be accounted for some time---perhaps fourteen or fifteen-years hence---perhaps never In a hundred instances, this had been the answer; which he, personally, among the other officious enquirers into the public expenditure, had received. To enumerate them all would be impossible, but he would just mention one, because one was as good as a Hundred.
A charge of 60,000l. was made for presents to Indians, which was stated to have been paid into the hands of the superintendant. The presents principally consisted of Razors and Jews-harps When it was declared in the House of Commons, that there was something peculiarly astonishing in the article and when the Minister was asked how it came to have arisen, he confessed, that he was himself astonished at its bulk, and could not comprehend how it had amounted to so enormous a sum. Let us then, said the gentlemen on his side of the House, put off the payment at least for a time, till we enquire how it was expended. No replies the Minister, that we cannot do. however it may have arisen, the the money must be granted, for it is already paid Produce the vouchers, then of its expenditure.---No. replies he, that is impossible; they are not yet come to hand.---When will they come to hand?---I know not; but at farthest they will be complete in fourteen or fifteen years. This, says the honourable gentleman, is the language of the minister on all occasions; and to such a pitch of servility are we reduced, that that we bear it. The money that the people had submitted to pay, because they believed it to bedesigned for public service made its way into the pockets of their representatives and hirsd a troop of mercenary Member to vote away still more.
To be Continued.

POET's CORNER
Congratulatory Verses on the Capture of the important Fortress of Gualier
Respectfully addressed to the
SUPREME COUNCIL
AT length the wav'ring Fates decisive speak
And what Ambition spurned, Fear shall seek.
At length the volant, depredating Race
Shall yield you Peace unsully'd with disgrace:
At length BRITANNIA's Genius breathes a flame
That, fed by you, shall renovate our Fame:--
For Gualiar, Mistress of the Asian World,
Droops to the thunder by BRITANNIA hurl'd:
Alike of past and present times the boast,
Contemning always the beleagu'ring Host;
Of Captive Kings and Chiefs the fam'd abode;
The Wall of Duab, and rod or Shield of Gohde;
The rock, the basis of Mahrattah Pow'r
Proud Gualiar!--owns you in a happy hour,
(Nor mourns the change) the sovereigns of her Fate---
Bends to your sway, and bending, props the state.
Long had your bands, by Gallant GODDARD led,
Conquer'd in vain; in vain the Foe had fled,
Thrice sear'd with horror at his fierce assault.--
The Glory GODDARD'S, but not his the fault:
Fruitless alike your labour to obtain,
The Peace of Honour, or the Peace of Gain:
For still the Rivals of your Fame inspir'd
A Pride unyielding to what Faith requir'd;
Their Cause deriving from new friends new life,
They still maintain'd the sanguinary Strife.
At length a Soldier form'd in Dangers School,
By Practice taught, yet vers'd in Tactic Rule;
Wise in his choice of whom to trust, or seek,
The Council scorned only by the Weak.
(The truest Wisdom, and the richest Prize
Allotted those by heav'n ordain'd to rise)
Leading to War a scant, but Gallant Train.--
Their boast, their Chief---his, on the sanguine Plain,
To head the steady and determin'd few,
Who, fear unknowing, thence to conquer knew;
Who, not alone the Palm of Conquest sought
To deck their proper brows, but nobly fought
New lustre to the Warrior's fame to lend
Whom following a Chief they lov'd a Friend:--
At length your POPHAM emulous to gain,
A Praise superior to the common strain;
By one great act to crush th' aspiring Foe,
And teach the neighbouring Pow'rs your Strength to know;
Dar'd what, before him, none had dar'd, or thought,--
Dar'd to attempt, and, daring cheaply bought,
(Till now esteem'd impregnable by all)
Gualiar! fam'd Gualiar! at whose wond'rous fall,
The Proud Mahrattah shall the yoke embrace
And stooping, sue the late rejected Grace:
The Chief of Agra*--- a dissembling friend.--
Shall tremble now, and to your law attend:
The Seiks--- a restless tribe--- Shall learn to fear
The arms of BRITAIN and your Name revere:
Nay Hyder, too, in his Career shall pause,
And own his terror in a Just applause:
The admiring World shall laud the Glorious deed,
And cry---"of valour still be such the meed;
"Its Country's martial Credit to increase,
"And force the Stubborn foe to kneel for Peace."
This the reward by Britons chiefly sought;
And this the Honour for which POPHAM fought.
* Nujjif Khan.
