Saturday 4 November 1780

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 28th to Saturday November, 4th 1780. No. [XLI] Continued from our Last. I Therefore made the signal for the Lowestoffe to lead us to action; it was obeyed by Capt. Parker with alacrity and spirit. When we opened the eastern point, the enemy began to fire at the Lowestoffe, Charon, and Porcupine; but no shot were returned, till their guns had so lulled the winds as to leave us little prospect of getting nearer to them, so that, rather to cover ourselves from their aim by smoke, than to look for success from a distant cannonade, the Charon & Lowestoffe began to fire: the Pomona was not able to get within reach of her guns, and as soon as I had the power, I laid the ship's head to the offing: a breeze springing up soon after to the northward, I made signal to tack, thinking we should certainly serch where we wished to do: in this however we were disappointed, the wind baffling and forsaking us. The Lowestoffe run ashore, and received a heavy fire from the enemy, but she paid off again: before our boats could get to their assistance, her hull, masts, and yards were so much disabled, as to oblige me to send her to anchor to leeward, and there re-fit. The Charon's rudder was choaked by a shot, which filled the space between it and the stern post with splinters; part of her wheel was shot away, and the mizenmast badly wounded. On the 18th, Capt. Dalrymple being anxious for artillery being sent up to a battery he was constructing on the Governor's hill, I ordered the guns from the Porcupine to be landed; they were drawn up by the sailors through a heavy road and up a steep ascent, to a spot where they did notable execution but our time being precious from various considerations, and the heat of the climate making this duty more fatiguing to our people, it was concluded on between Capt. Dalrymple and myself, to attempt an escalade the following morning; and the King's ships to co-operate, by cannonading the wall against the sea. I made the signal settled for the attack; I weighed at 3 o'Clock, the Pomona and Lowestoffe standing for the eastern, and the Charon for the western angle of the fort, which I began to cannonade; when Capt. Dalrymple, in a most gallant and examplary manner, stormed on the land side with the seamen and marines, and subdued the enemy with the loss of little Blood. We took immediate possession of two Register ships richly laden, which, with the cargoes of other vessels of less note, will amount to the sum of three millions of piasters (or dollars) The fort is an amazing pile of Building; the greatest part of it is an admirable sort of stone; the remainder is brick. It has cost to the spaniards twenty five years labour, and the lives of thousands of their subjects. Since it has been taken, we are astonished from the strength of it, that it was so easily vanquished. The spanish Governor is very sollicitous to ransom the fort, and has offered three hundred thousand dollars for it. The two hundred and fifty quintals of quick silver, which came from Old Spain, and we have now taken, the Spaniards would have bought at any price, saying, that they would give double the value for it, because they should have no other means to work any of the valuable mines in the province. Their reasons for wishing it, determined me not to part with a single ounce of the quick silver, nor would I consent to ransom the fort. The number of prisoners in the enemy's fort you will find by the inclosed return, far exceeded the troops that storm'd it and whose undaunted behaviour has added so much lustre to the British arms. Their humanity has not been less conspicuous than their bravery; nor can there be a greater contrast than between the treatment received by the King's subjects at George's Key, which surrendered at discretion, and the spanish Garrison of Omoa though taken by storm; Capt. Dalrymple's Orders and my wishes have been punctually obeyed even by the Musquito men, and those of Honduras that received such ill treatment. Proper respect has been shewn to the Governor, spanish officers, soldiers and Inhabitants; neither cloaths, watches, pocket money, or other effects have been taken from these prisoners. The ornaments of the church the captors have agreed to give back if the spanish court does punctually comply with the agreement respecting the exchange of Prisoners. The uniform bravery and good conduct of all the officers and seamen under my command may make it appear ungracious to mark particular people; but the services rendered by Capt. Packenham and Lieut. Trot call for my most earnest recommendation of them to their Lordships favour. The former gentleman, who is the bearer of these dispatches, can give more perfect information respecting the reduction of this fort and settlement. Capt. Nugent has exerted himself upon every point of duty in a most distinguished and examplary, manner. I am not particularly acquainted with the merits of individuals that served on shore except that commandant Dalrymple is certainly entitled to infinite honour and praise, for the gallant manner in which he led the troops to the escalade, Capt. Carden exhibited many proofs of his ability as an engineer and as a soldier. I must leave it with Capt. Commandant Dalrymple to give due praise to all those whose services on shore call for it, he will, I am sure, take notice of Lieut. Wightman of the marines, who was wounded under the enemys walls, and of all those who have deserved it at his hands I have the pleasure to assure their Lordships that the most perfect harmony and co-operation have subsisted between the King's troops employed at Sea and on shore; such services as have been in my power to render my country, I trust, will prove acceptable to his Majesty. I am, &c. JOHN LUTTEREL.

The following curious Paragraph, appeared in an English Paper, "Last olly Thursday was marred at Iwuth Miss Annah Opkins of Anny, a most haggribl young Humman seventeen year hold with a anson forten and hevery haccomplushment to make the marrige state appy, to Mr. Enery Hatkins a sensibull young Farmer hand the opes of his famely: and we ere they have both goneing to live in Erefordsair at is fathers ous who is a opp merchant: in the church befor the cam to the halcer the father paid her down four hundred pound in speshe and heity pound in nots when they came one to the ous." ANECDOTES. AS Quin and Foote one Day went out, To view the Country round, In merry Mood they chatting stood, Hard by the Village Pound.— Foote from his Poke a Shilling took, And said, I'll lay a Penny. In this same place, before your Face, I'll make this Piece a Guinea. Upon the Ground, within the Pound, The Shilling soon was thrown, You see, says Foote, the thing's made out, For there is One Pound One. I wonder not, says Quin, that Thought Should in your Head be form'd; For 'tis this Way your Debts you pay— One Shilling in the Pound. Remarkable death of Richard Sackville, Earl of Dorset, Lord Treasurer of England, Ancestor of Lord George Germaine.—Richard, Earl of Dorset, was a very avaricious and corrupt Man, who, depending upon his Power at the Council Board, where many Causes were shamefully tried during the Reign of our first arbitrary Stuart King James, laid Claim to a Gentleman's Estate of the Family of Lucy, for no other Reason, but because it was contiguous to his own. After some Debate upon the Merits of his Claim, the Treasurer standing up, and off-

ering to pull out of his Bosom Papers that were pretended for their Lordships full and final Satisfaction, he fell down dead, as if called to answer at a higher Tribunal. Mr. Lucy, after the Death of Sackville, enjoyed his Estate unmolested by any Claim of that Family, which is a clear Demonstration, of the Avarice and corruption of the Nobleman. Four homely but expressive Lines were written upon the death of this great and wicked Statesman: "Here lies a Lord that wenching thought no Sin, And bought his Flesh by selling of our skin: His name was Sackville, and so void of Pity, As he did rob the Country and the City."

Adjourned the meeting accordingly. STEPHEN BAGSHAW, SECRETARY. Calcutta 3d Nov. 1780. Mr. H I C K Y. BEING advifed by feveral Refpectable friends to lay his cafe before the Public, relative to the hardfhips, he has laboured under in this fettlement as well as thofe he has now to combat with, has acquiefced, and painfull and diftreffing as it may be to him to expofe the di- ftreffes of his unmerited hard fortune to the Public, yet as he has acted Honourably, from the firft commencement of thofe diftreffes down to the prefent moment, he flatters himfelf, it will be well received by every Virtuous man who reads it. In the year feventy five, and feventy fix, Mr. HICKY met with very heavy loffes by fea, in feventy fix his Veffel returned to Calcutta with her cargo damaged, being two Months at fea in bad weather, a Bond of his became due, to a Bengal Merchant to the amount of 4,300 A. R's. Mr. HICKY having no more cafh in his Houfe than two thoufand Rupees, offered it in part, with a frefh Bond for the remaining ballance, payable in four or five Months, in which time, it was fuppofed his Veffel would compleat her Voyage to Madras being then ready to fail. This the Plantifs Attorney refufed, Mr. H. was arrefted, gave bail, in hopes of making up matters with his Creditors, and not deeming the above mentioned two thoufand Rupees, his own, but actually the property of his Creditors, was determined not to keep it in his houfe as his daily expences might oblige him to make ufe of it.---To prevent this, he depofited it in the hands of a Man of Credit, that it might be forth coming at at an hours warning to pay into the hands of the Plantiffs Attorney, fhould he at any time change his mind. During the fpace of fix Weeks he employ- ed his friends to go round amongft his Credi- tors, the few European Gentlemen that he was indebted to, figned his Licence directly, but the black Bengal Merchants proved in- flexable, Finding no hopes of matters being made up he volantarly and without com- pulfion delivered up his Veffel, and Cargo, his Houfhold Furniture, and all his Effects, to his creditors, and on the 20 of October 1776 delivered up his perfon at the Jail of Calcutta to free his Bail, and for the firft time in all his Life, entered the walls of a Prifon as a Prifoner, and had but twenty Rupees in his poffeffion. GOD feeing the honefty of his intentions relative to the two thoufand Rupees which he depofited for his creditor (and which he refufed to accept of) now makes that two thoufand Rupees ufeful to him, he gets it by degrees from the perfon to whofe care he entrufted it, and in the room of idley feafting on it, and giving himfelf up to mellancholly reflections and Indolence, he, ftrikes out upon a plan of induftry to maintain his family, and to work for his creditors. With this two thoufand Rupees he purchafed a few Types, fet carpenters to work to make Printing Materials and ad- vertifed, to print for the public, His in- duftry, was encouraged by feveral Gentle- men in this fettlement, and for which they have, and fhall to the lateft period of his Life receive his grateful acknowledgments. Finding fufficient employment he was determined to make the beft ufe of his time which he did for upwards of two years very frequently working from fix in the morning until eleven, twelve, and very frequently un- til one or two the next morning, and by hard induftry, frugality, and denying him- felf many neceffaries of life, GOD, enabled him to fave feven or thoufand Rupees, every, Rupee of which he gave his Creditors with- out, keeping one anna to himfelf, this cir- cumftance is too well known to be doubted. From the very faint profpect his Creditors, had of ever receiving the whole of their de- mand, feveral of them had told Mr. H. that they would be well contented with one half, and he is very well affured that he might have received a difcharge in full from all his Creditors (one only excepted,) had he wifhed for a thing of that kind.---but this was foreign to his way of thinking, for he was determined if poffible to put it out of the power of any man to fay that he loft eight annas in the Rupee by him, he requeft- ed they would receive it as one half of their debt, give him three years for the remain- ing half, and if GOD fpared him his life he would work for them and, pay them, if he died, he hoped they would forgive him. Thus he obtained his liberty, and on the 29th of January 1780, he began his News paper, the firft of the kind ever Printed in this part of the World. This was an unedrtaking attended with great fatigue of bod, and mind, and alfo a very great expence. Being deftitute of money, to purchafe paper and many other neceffaries, his moft valuable and beft of Friends Jofeph Price Efq; knowing the honefty of his intentions, and his induftri- ous difpofition he got a Friend of his own to lend Mr. HICKY the fum of four thoufand Rupees, to enable him to purchafe paper and materials, three thoufand he bor- rowed fince to pay his fervants and fupport his Houfe until the half years fubfcription became due, his expences for thefe ten Months paft has amounted to upwards of feven hundred and fifty Rupees per Month including Houfe rent, houfe expence, fervants wages, Black fmiths, Brafs men, and affiftance in the printing line Every reafonable Man will think, that, he muft at this prefent moment be much embarraffed in his affairs Efpecially when he informs them that out of the whole amount of the News paper thefe ten Months, he has not yet received, two thoufand Ru- pees, out of the firft half years fubfcription, yet in this fhattered condition he is attacked, by his Enemies, and in order to ufe every means in their power to de- prive him of his fubfcribers, by publifhing their fuff paper on Saturday the 18th. of this month and refolved to leave him no dawn of hope by fhifting his days of pub- lication, they are determined (if in their power) to publifh twice a week, The Company held this fettlement on Charter for Ninety-nine Years, and that term is now expired, yet during all that time, no man ever attempted to publifh a News- paper, until I did the 29th. of laft January, which from that moment to this has proved one continued chain of expences to me, and before I have time to collect in one half of the firft half years fubfcription, there is a plot laid to ruin me and my innocent help- lefs Family. In the Gazette of Saturday next I will acquaint my Friends and the public, of the particulars of, this cruel and premeditated plot. Point out a leading Man that is at the head of it. By whom I was advifed to apply for protection to my paper, and to get it to pafs poft free, to whom I was to apply to accomplifh that plan, my reafons for not applying, and the attending confequences. Without paying any compliment to rank every one of the parties concerned fhall be arraigned on Saturday next, and referred to the Public either to acquit or condemn them.
