HICKY'S BENGAL GAZETTE; OR, Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None. From Saturday October 21st to Saturday October, 28th 1780. No. [XL] By an Extract of a letter from Madras, dated the 27th of Sept. 1780. YOU desire me to give you the News, you have heard of the defeat of Colonel Baillies detachment, it was owing to a mere accident, the blowing up of a Tumbrel. Had that not happened, He would have cut his way through Hyder's whole Army, (of at least 40 thousand Men,) and would have joined General Munro.—His Men and Officers behaved with such surprizing coolness, and regularity, that we have no instance (perhaps not even in history) of any Troops shewing such determined Orderly courage.—Powells Grenadiers the Glory of the service, refused Quarters, and were cut to pieces, the Europeans Grenadiers also refused Quarters and died with their Arms in their hands.—Hyder lost 15 thousand horse and Foot, according to the Reports of our Circar Peons, who were at his own loss, and the Bravery of Baillie, and his handful of Men, who did not exceed four thousand in all, or five thousand. It is true, the Detachment consisted of our prime and picked Troops, Officers as well as Men, and the loss is greatly repaired, however there is no spirit lost, and we hope that matters will soon wear a different appearance. The circumstances of Baillies defeat, reflects perhaps as much honor to the British Arms as any Victory could have done. The brave Powell who was adored by his Sepoys, fell down Wounded in the midst of his Grenadiers who stood round him till they were cut in pieces. The Artillery also stood till they were cut down at their Guns. It is said that Powell is alive, and may perhaps yet recover. Hyder treats all the Officers who are now prisoners, honourably, for they say of him that he esteems bravery even in an Enemy. Two Indiamen are now at Masalapatam taking on board 400 Sepoys and Grenadiers from the Sircar, Capt. Lysaght is to command them. Our Troops breath Revenge and you may soon expect to hear of something desperate. There is not the least prospect of a famine as was reported by some individuals. Madras is full of provisions, and if Bengal sends money, and some prime Troops to assist, all will go well again. The following Petition, and Remonstrance was drawn up by the Black Town Militia of Madrass, and addressed to George Taswell Esq; as Commander of that Corps. dated Madrass 30th Sep. 1780. SIR, WE the under written Inhabitants of Madras Patnam &c. belonging to the Black-town Militia, beg leave to address you as Commandant of that Corps. Permit us to assure you that every one of us would think ourselves very happy to have it in our power to contribute in any Manner to the Good of this settlement, and more particularly at this present crisis. We are also sensible that this is not only our Duty, but also our own Interest to do so.—Thus situated, we humbly hope that it does not appear to you that we have shown any voluntary backwardness in doing our duty therein, but it is with extreme concern, we are obliged to confess, that we do not think we have met in the embodying of the Militia with that Encouragement we have a right to expect, for first, We have, as a stigma, been separated from the Fort Militia, which, we understand from good Authority is unusual and totally unprecedented and are interspersed with the very lowest Class of all colours (Coffries not excepted) nay the Fort Militia a la Franque, have been given to us as a Present to increase our Importance. Secondly, a downright Military Uniform and Arms are given to us, to make the freemen half visible from the Soldiers, and instead of an easy Duty that was promised to us, the drilling begins every Morning at 5, by which some of us are render'd unfit to perform our Mornings Work on which our subsistance depends. Thirdly we are Ordered to appear on an Alarm on a certain Bastion in the Black town near 1 Mile and a half from our homes, and there to wait further Orders, whilst others, who are no more than Inhabitants of the Black town like ourselves, may sleep in their Beds or retire to the Fort for their safety, merely because they are distinguished by being taken into the Fort Militia. We conceive ourselves as old Inhabitants intitled to the continuation of that protection which we have enjoy'd under former Government, as long as our Publick conduct is conformable to Peace and good Order, and therefore we flatter ourselves that you will lay this before Colonel Charles Smith, and that he will be pleased to lay this our Letter before the Hon'ble Board, to assist us in getting that redress which we stand in need of—for what Assistance in time of need can be expected from a body of Men, who being set up as a Mark for contempt to rail at, can have but very little Inclination or zeal to put their Lives or Effects to risk for a community in which they are counted as cyphers. We further presume that we would think ourselves justly deserving of what we here complain, were we to remain silent, but as a respectful representation to our superiors on such an occasion is our birth right getting or getting none, we think we have at least done Justice to our Characters, as far as rests with us. We beg you will not interpret to our prejudice the Warmth of some of our representations, they are the overflowings of hearts filled with Patriotism, but touched with our supposed (Nay we will add) Real grievances. We are with all due Respect. Sir, Yours &c. J. C. Bartholma, D. Young, John Leatham, Angus Mc Intosh, James Bringer, A. F. Frank, John Willoughby, H Darley, William Chaplin. John Bell. E. Dinthede. C. Barret, John Charles, J. Allison. CALCUTTA. WE are informed from good Authority that there is now a secret treaty subsisting between Nujiff Caun, the King of Delhi's Generalitano, and the Maharattas. And that it is settled between them, that one of the generals acting under the said Nujiff Caun, (as if led by his own inclinations) shall desert over to the Maharatta's with about thirty thousand of the King of Delhi's Troops. This scheme seems deeply laid, and is calculated chiefly to harrass Major Carmac, and prevent his intended progress with the Detachment under his Command. By this plan our Enemies, (of which it seems we have now too many) hopes to reserve the whole force of the Maharatta Army in order to make one grand and capital attack, against general Goddard. We have the pleasure to inform the Public, that the forty thousand Maharattas, that were assembled at, and near Cuttock some months ago, are now (from sickness and disinclination, to serve longer) reduced to about ten thousand,—that twenty or thirty of them had died of a day by fluxes and fevers, and that great numbers of them had returned home to their families to the different parts of the Country from whence they came. We are informed that the Troops lately draughted from this settlement, and which embarked for Madrass the 14th Instant, are still laying at Culpee, in a very sickly situation, that one or more of the Ships taken up by Government, was so deeply laden with Rice, that the Pilots refused to take charge of them, as they drew too much water to Pass clear over the flatts. That the Duke of Kingston Captain Nur had been aground for several Days, by which it is supposed she must have received much injury, having fifteen lacks of Rupees on board, a weight sufficient in itself to break the back of any vessel laying aground so long a time. We are informed by one of the inhabitants of Russpuglah that as he passed from thence to Calcutta, on Tuesday morning last that he counted upwards of 27 Cows and Bullocks which had perished by the heavy rains and floods. In the late Hurricane that happen'd at Patna the 13th of September last we are in-

formed that there was upwards of seven hundred People perished in the Ruins of the Houses and Walls which were blown down by the violence of the storm.—Several Boats were also lost much about the same time, some with very valuable Cargoes owing to the high winds, and the violent agitation of the water in the River. During the late heavy rains, several Bengally Cutcha Houses has fallen down, three in and near the John Baazar, one in a lane near the Loll Baazar behind Mr. Carmichael's Houses, part of one near the Radda Baazar, and several others in different parts of the Town, but we have not heard of any lives being lost We are informed that on Tuesday evening last, between the hours of five, and six o'clock, three well dressed Gentoos were seen walking arm, in arm together, from Calcutta towards Intally, one of whom had a Talwar under his arm, and had a valuable shawl lapp'd round his head over his turband, they by every outward gesture, and appearance seem'd to be on the most friendly and amicable terms. It is supposed they arrived at the extent of their Journey a little after dark the spot of ground on which they stood we are informed is about one mile beyond the Garden House formerly occupyed by the late Sir John Clavering. There it seems, two of them discovered to the third, their premeditated intentions one held the accused whilst the other cut him with his Talwar in so desperate a manner that he instantly expir'd on the spot, the abettor in this horid act is fled, and the supposed Murderer taken into custody by the Fouzdar of Chit-pore. We are informed that the Sepoy Troops lately Draughted at Vizacapatam, having all their Arms Accoutrements, Baggage &c. ready, to embark, on board the Sartine Frigate, and some other Vessels then in that Harbour in order to carry them to Madras, the day of their intended departure, the Governor of Vizac, invited all the Military Officers to dine with him, and the Council, the Troops were to embark that Afternoon. The Gentlemen made a cheerful repast drank success to the British Arms, and sat in company with all the tranquility of mind imaginable, but were soon alarmed by an uncommon noise, they sent some of their servants out to learn the cause, and was soon informed that the Troops draughted for Madras, had Mutinied, and was endeavouring to force, those Sepoys who was to remain behind, in the Ba racks, to join them, which they refused.—This account soon brought their Officers out, who instantly reassumed their commands, and ordered them immediatly to march down to the beach and go on board, this they refused one and all, the Grenadiers levelled their pieces, took aim, discharged a volly, and killed every Officer on the spot,—They took the Governor prisoner and all the Civil servants, set free a french spy who had been confined there for some time, and placed him at their head, at the same time put the Governor, and all the civil servants in the prison from whence they took the Frenchman. They plundered the Governors House, and Factory, of the Treasure, plate and every other valuable that night, took the civillians out the next morning tied them, and marched them off with them, with an intent to carry them prisoners to Hyder Ally, whom themselves intended to join;—After they had marched several Miles from Vizac, they unty'd the Governor Mr. Casmajor, and the rest of the Gentlemen and told them they might Return to Vizac if they pleased. Ensign Butler the only surviving Officer on that Establishment, and who very fortunately had been on a visit, to a friend at some distance from the Settlement, finding what had happened, drew up a detatchment of the remaining Troops the next morning, with a few Field Pieces marched at the head of them, in quest off the deserters, came up with them and discharged a few rounds of grape Shot, amongst them which brought several of them to the ground, some run off leaving the most part of their arms behind and the remainder he took Prisoners, marching them in the front with the Filed pieces in the rear.

A Lady of wit and Gallantry being lately accompanied on a visit to the Universities by a remarkably Stupid Young Nobleman, it was observed by one, who knew the parties, how ill her choice was in respect to a Conductor. "Not at all, says a Gentleman present, I think it highly in character, Minervas, you know, is always accompanied by an Owl." Continued from our 28th number. BUT Capt. Nugent and his peolpe were made Prisoners, and when he got on shore, there was a parade for execution, such as a scaffold, and a guard of soldiers: for it was understood to be the orders with which the Spaniards came to attack the settlement, that every body that was conquered, and had made resistance, should be put to death: but when they enquired, and found Capt. Nugent, who had no arms in the boat, and did not resist, they contented themselves with blindfolding, stripping, and handcuffing him; he was confined with his boat's crew in a close prison. During their operations, a great number of batteaux, assisted by an armed schooner, attacked the race-horse, and attempted to board her; but she was so gallantly and obstinately defended by Lieut. Trott, his officers and people, that the Spaniards were repulsed with great slaughter. On board the Race-horse, two men only were killed, and three wounded. When the Race-horse had beaten off the Spaniards, she repaired immediately to bring up the Pomona from Key Boquel; and as soon as the frigate appeared in sight, the Spaniards, to the amount of about 500, took to their craft, and quitted the Key with great precipitation, leaving Capt. Nugent, his people and the inhabitants, in close confinement, from which they released themselves; and Capt. Nugent in his boat retook possession of a brig, which was aground and the Spaniards had captured, when they came into the harbour This brig at the foliciation of the inhabitants, who had furnished, her with sea-men, Capt. Nugent armed, and, sent to the River Belez, to cover the embarkation of the property there belonging to the English settlers; with directions, that she should, after performing that service, repair in quest of the ships under my command; and, in case of not meeting with us, make the best of their way to Jamaica. Thinking this information too incomplete to dispatch the Racehorse with to [ILL] I directed Lieut. Trott, as soon as [ILL] ted Omoa, to go in quest of the b[ILL] river Belez, and afterwards to [ILL] George's Key, and land the people [ILL] served as pilots, and were desirous [ILL] put on shore; and after making s[ILL] enquiries as I thought necessary to [ILL] to do, I ordered her to join the sq[ILL] the Bay of Truxillio, where she [ILL] 4th of October, and informed m[ILL] brig, armed by Capt. Nugent, h[ILL] collected the different settlers in the [ILL] 70 of them were on board, and [ILL] 200 under her escort in small craft; [ILL] he had directed them to Truxillio, [ILL] way to Black river. They howev[ILL] appear while I was there; and th[ILL] ships being wooded and watered [ILL] to sea with them, having direct[ILL] Trott, to give every assistance in [ILL] towards forwarding the brig with th[ILL] to Black river on the Musquito, sho[ILL] arrived at Truxillio while he was [ILL] his water, The pilots the Racehor[ILL] to George's Key, finding no Kin[ILL] there, or security for their person[ILL] and the inhabitants of every settle[ILL] claim in the Bay relinquished their [ILL] not thinking it tenable against the [ILL] numbers of the Spaniards, were [ILL] as fast as possible, some to Jamaica [ILL] major part of them to Black riv[ILL] Musquito shore. In this disagre[ILL] on were things in the Bay of H[ILL] when I left it upon the 4th of Oct[ILL] on the 7th fortune changed her face [ILL] and presented to our view the [ILL] sloop of war, having under her con[ILL] tatchment of troops belonging to [ILL] Irish, and some Musquito Indian[ILL] the command of Capt. Command[ILL] rymple, who was as desirous as [ILL] making a land and sea attack upon [ILL] son of Omoa, and the Spanish Ga[ILL] therefore took immediate measures [ILL] the services of these people who had [ILL] ven from St. George's Key, by m[ILL] myself for Truxillio, and dispatchi[ILL] gates to Bonacea and Utilla, in q[ILL] vessels with the Baymen. Lieut. [ILL] the Race-horse, I sent to Rattan on [ILL] service. They all returned to me [ILL] pedition and success, bringing a [ILL] ment 250 men. We forthwith set [ILL] made escalding ladders, fascines, [ILL] and every other requisite in our p[ILL] carrying on a siege: having settled [ILL] of attack, I gave full instruction[ILL] Captains and Officers who were to [ILL] into execution; and in the morni[ILL] 10th of October, I sailed with th[ILL] slette, Pomona, Porcupine, R[ILL] three schooners and a number of sm[ILL] for Porto Cavallo Bay, and anchore[ILL] there close in shore. On the evenin[ILL] 16th, Capt. Pakenham, to whom I [ILL] the command of landing the troops [ILL] my orders in so officer like and [ILL] tious a manner, that the who[ILL] formed and marched from the beac[ILL] eleven o'clock that night. From t[ILL] cacy of the roads, and other circu[ILL] our troops were prevented from mak[ILL] great progress before the next [ILL] when they pushed forward with grea[ILL] to gain the commanding ground at [ILL] vernor's house, and having driven a [ILL] Spaniards, who contended for the p[ILL] of it, we occupied that very import[ILL] but were so annoyed by the enemy's [ILL] try from the town as to compel our [ILL] set fire to it.
