HICKY's BENGAL GAZETTE; OR, Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None, From Saturday September 9th to Saturday September 16th 1780. [No. XXXIV] FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Whitehall, Dec. 18 1779. Extract of a letter from Capt. Dalrymple commander of the loyal Irish Volunteers; to the Right Hon. Lord Geo. Germain, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, Received Yesterday by Lieut. Carden of the 60th regiment. St. Fernando de Omoa, Oct. 21, 1779. YOUR Lordship would be informed, that Gen. Dalling had dispatched me to the Musquito Shore to collect a force, and that he had also sent arms; artillery and ammunition for St. George's Key, being the principal settlements of the Bay-men. On the 27th of September, the day of our arrival at the Black River on the Musquito Shore, an advice boat came up from the Bay with certain intelligence, that the Spaniards had, on the 15th of September, taken possession of St. George's Key, having an number of armed pettiguas, and about 600 men. On this notice, having collected 60 Indians and enlisted some volunteers on the shore, we sailed in the Porcupine sloop of War with three transports, for the relief and establishment of the Bay-men. On the evening of our sailing from the Black River we fell in with Com. Luttrell, in the Charon, accompanied by the Lowestoffe and Pomona frigates, when we were informed that St. George's Key had been retaken by his Majesty's armed schooner Race-horse, and that the remaining Inhabitants with their slaves had retired to Truxillo and Rattan. I intended to have consulted the Bay-men on re-settling the Honduras, when I was informed, that his Majesty's Ships had been at the Gulph of Dulce, and not finding the register ships there, had proceeded to St. Fernando de Omoa, where they discovered them; that they had entered the Bay, where some shot were exchanged between them and the Fort, but not having a sufficient land force to attack on the shore, they were obliged to leave it. Judging this a happy opportunity of adding lustre to his Majesty's arms, I waited upon Commodore Luttrell, and offered to attack on the land side with the Indians and the detatchment of loyal Irish, if he would reinforce me with the marines and musquetry men from the ships. The Commodore agreeing in opinion that the fort might be taken by attacking by sea and land at the same time, it was accordinly determined on, and Truxillo was appointed as the rendezvous to collect the Bay-men with their slaves, where we met some people from the Musquito shore, who had been on an expedition against the register ships. The Commodore immediately had the Bay-men collected, as I suggested it, who were dispersed about the islands of Rattan and Bonnaccoa; they were formed by me into four companies, being invested with powers by Gen. Dalling for that purpose; the slaves I officered by their proprietors. With this reinforcement of 250 men, added to the loyal Irish, musquetry men from the ships, and Indians, our force amounted to upwards of 500 men. The Commodore having got in readiness at my request scaling ladders, issued 200 stand of Arms, exclusive of 70 Stand issued by me of the regimental arms and 150 sent Down by Gen. Dalling, which were intended for the Bay. We were informed by our guides that Porto Omoa was only three leagues distant; and our intention was to have marched directly on in the night to surprize and escalade the fort; but the distance proving greater then was imagined, and the roads very bad which they passed, such as I may venture to affirm no European troops ever marched before in this Climate, being obliged to march (on account of impenetrable Mangroves) out into the sea, which damaged their cartouches, and at other times through lagoons, morasses, and narrow foot-paths, over mountains rendered almost impassible from the late rains, having precipices on each side, and forced to grope our way by lights made from cabbage trees. We were not arrived within two leagues of the Fort, at day break, having lost our rear, some laying down through fatigue and others losing the line of march from the darkness of the night, and the difficulty of keeping up in paths only passable by Indians. In the morning the rear line was brought up by Capt. Carden of the 60th regiment of foot, and having refreshed the troops for two Hours, we proceeded again through passes and defiles the same as the night before. To be continued. Copy of a Paragraph in a letter from Madras dated August 18th. WE have Glorious news from General Goddard's Army, now in possession of Poonah these accounts seem so very clear that they gain universal credit here. The General had by a Coup de main, crossed a great River, which soon after he had got well over, so swelled with rains that came down, that the enemy were obliged to remain where they were, thus having got the start he pushed forward for the Capital, the danger to which that place must be exposed, obliged the Mahrattas to pass in the best manner they could, and having got over; a large body of them attacked the General, who made them pay dearly for their rashness by killing great numbers of them. He then presented himself before Poonah, which surrendered, and he took possession, the present Rajah having escaped by a private way. So the Army have Honorably carried the 60 Laacks of Rupees stipulated and agreed upon as the price of their toil. We have not yet learn'd what Officers and Men have been killed and wounded, The loss in the latter is considerable.—But while success and Victory seem to attend our forces on that side, Here are we insulted and ruined by a plundering villian, who dare not wait the approach of even a Handful of Sepoys. Last night a large body of his Cavalry were prowling about within 5 Miles of our Black Town wall nor is it in our power to prevent their executing their will. We have no Horse, and they laugh at our infantry. Lord Mac Leod, with 700 Highlanders 300 of the Company's Artillery and a Battalion of Sepoys are incamped near Pondamalee about 10 Miles off Col. Brathwait, with 400 infantry, 100 Artillery, and 3 Battalions of Sepoys are advanced from Pondicherry to near the Mount about 16 Miles off Col. Baillie with 300 Infantry, 100 Artillery, and 3 Battalions of Sepoys; are about 2 days March Northward of us. We have two Battalions of sepoy and a Battalion Europeans, within the Fort, very defective and the General Militia is going to be array'd. Thus you see we are up to the very Elbows in Military operations but this is the very bane of Commerce, Money is now buried, not in oblivion, but in the Bowels of the Earth. The Monsoon must unavoidably drive the Enemy off the Coast, but their return in January may be expected, what effect this news may have upon Hyder, we don't yet know but it is to be hoped he will change his Resolutions.

CALCUTTA. By Letters in Town. WE are informed that Captain Bracey who was lately taken by the Niars at Tillechery, is now at Madras, having made his escape from thence in an open Boat to Totacairne, in Order to shun Hyder and his allies, who are at this present time spread all over the Carnatic. Captain Bracey was made Prisoner soon after his landing at the above place, and the moment his Chief Officer (who was then on board) received intelligence thereof, he weighed his Anchors, made what sail he could and stood out to sea, by which means he saved the Vessel and Cargo, and preserved his own Liberty, and the Ships company's, he returned soon after to Calcutta with the Ship, which was immediately freighted by one of the Owners and dispatched to Madras, at which place it is hoped Captain Bracey will meet Her. The good conduct and activity of th above mentioned Chief Officer, cannot be too much praised, and hope he will meet every Encouragement from those in a Merchantile line, as a just reward, for his faithful attachment to the interest of his Commander, and Owners. Monday Evening last during the heavy Rain an Old Brick House fell down near the John Baazar, by which accident a poor Bengal Man and his Wife were killed on the spot. A Correspondant has obliged us with the following List of Hyder Ally's Fleet. Guns. 1 Ship new of 70, 1 do. 28 late the Nathalia 1 Grab Ship 58 1 do. 26 1 do. 30 1 do. snow 20 1 Ketch 12 1 do. 12 12 Galwets from 8 to 10 Guns each. } 108 20 Vessels of war 264 We are informed that all the large ships are sheathing with Copper. DIED. At Berhampore Monday the 4th inst. Capt. Robert Stewart, of the 3d. brigade, A Gentleman much esteemed and regreted by all his Acquaintance. HIGH WATER at Calcutta from Saturday September the 16th, to Saturday September the 23d. H. M. 16 Saturday, at 8 36 17 Sunday, 9 24 18 Monday, 10 12 19 Tuesday, 11 00 20 Wednesday, 12 48 21 Thursday, 1 39 22 Friday, 24 To Mr. HICKY, SIR, By inserting in your Gazette. the following Paragraph of a Letter, lately received from a Friend at Patna. You will much Oblige A constant Reader. THE Trade of this City which some Years ago stood next on the commercial List to Mirzapore, is of late entirely decayed, Owing chiefly to an Order of Government, respecting the coin of the Provinces, which altho' intended for the good of the Country, Will never I am afraid, be properly enforced, on Account of the two powerful influence of the Shroff's, in all Cash transactions, they have at present the impudence (with impunity) to exact no less a Batta than 12 Per cent, betwixt the Moorshedabad Sicca Rup. issued from the Treasury, and the Patna Sicca, the specie in which all the Grain of the Province is purchased, too heavy a Tax on the most advantageous Trade and equally distressing to the Poor, who have to Purchase Rice, and the other necessaries of life for their Families. Yours, HONESTUS. Continued from our Last. THE adherents of the present Ministry may call it unconstitutional the men who enjoy those extravagant emoluments, and unmerrited pensions, may say that it is unconstitutional to be deprived of them. They may say this in holes and corners; but they dare not boldly come forward at the public meetings, and avow their assertions. Protests may be contrived, as senseless as they are impudent, by the men who are robbing the public in the present day of general despondency and distress, in their secret cabals, and they may be sent to hedge ale-houses to be signed by their needy dependants, but they dare not meet the people of England fairly, and support their claims and pretensions to those places, either by argument or proof. Perhaps you, Gentlemen, will afterwards hear of a person who possesses one of the most useless of those places; perhaps, he said he meant the Lord Lieutenant of the county, striving to obtrude an opposition to the proceedings of this day, and daring to say, that the sense of the electors was not fully contained in your resolutions. To such insignificant pretensions you know how to behave. You meet in the eyes of all the world, and declare your sense of our public situation like men and citizens. But, perhaps, it may be said, that "these petitions lead to anarchy and confusion." they do not, they lead to the contrary; they tend to prevent anarchy and confusion; they tend to prevent the fall of this empire; to restore us to harmony, order, and to peace, by vigour, exertion, and success. But say they "this is not a time for straitening the hands of Government." Is this to straiten the hands of Government œconomy is giving new suplies to Government. All that can be saved from the sink of Corruption, will be applied to the service of the state, will add new strength to our arms, and enable us to maintain that unequal conflict in which we are engaged. But, say they, "this is not a time for these complaints; this is not a time for this reformation." What! is not a moment of necessity the time of relief? Is not the moment when we are most hardly pressed for supplies, the moment for œconomy? undoubtedly it is. We now feel our wants; we are in need of every Aid that ingenuity can invent; we are in need of all the money that can be raised. To be continued.

**POET's CORNER** A Sudden Thought. By a LADY. A Conquest great by well plan'd escalade, Just strikes my thought, which lately has been made, With so much Judgment and with so much Art Must strike deep in every generous Heart. For what can more promote the public good, Than Warlike deeds with little loss of Blood. So famed a fort, as Gualier has e'er been Subdued, loss wounded, only just fourteen. POPHAM the act must ever hand you down, A Soldier valiant, born to gain renown. And easterns tales in future ages tell Astonished listners how the Fortres, fell. The Deceivor's deceived. DAMON, a Youth in Surry bred, Arch, whimmy, gay, to London came, And took it in his giddy Head; Disguis'd, to figure as a Dame; Cynthia, as giddy full as he, A manly martial Garb put on; And, Yorkshire-bred, with Soul of Glee, A buckish, smart-drest ranger shone. They met, and with each other struck, The same droll Scheme each Rattle laid; He—Cynthia thought a Brother Buck; She—Damon thought a Sister Maid. Deceivers both, and both deceiv'd, An Assignation follow'd strait; A Bagnio snug the Guests receiv'd, Fit Scene for friendly Tete-a-tetes. The Bed prepared, the roguish Pair, Full of the cheat they aim'd to play, Quick to the destier Spot repair, Where, laughing, both the Wantons lay. But soon poor Cynthia found the Truth! What Fears her flutt'ring Soul possest! While all enraptur'd was the Youth, With unexpected Treasures blest. The Morn arriv'd, so pleas'd were both, They instant to the Alter sped; Where happy they exchang'd their Troth, And Hands and Hearts united, wed. And Cynthia blest the happy Day When first a youthful Buck she shone; Nor Damon less, when wildly gay, He magic Petticoats put on. Yet oh! be cautious how ye're found, Ye Maidens fair, in Garb of Buck; For 'tis to One a Thousand Pounds, Ye stumble not on Cynthia's Luck. **CALCUTTA,** Printed by **J. A.
