The S------f then rose, and informed the C--t that by Virtue of their Writt of Habeus corpus to him directed, he had possession of the Body of Susan Woodcock Spinster, and requested it might be duly E--d by one of the Clerks in C----t, On which a very Handsome Young Man in a Black Gown in Bands, levell'd an Oblique smile which nearly overset the Gravety of the venerable B----h. I could wait no longer so retired to Nicholl's Tavern to a Fowl, and Oysters, resolved to apply myself to you Mr. Printer to interpose with the Gentlemen of the Toga (who call themselves professed speakers that they would leave off such un-naturatl expressions.----they surely ought to let their Clients have a little decent, and proper English for their Money. What Man that has a value for a good name would like to have it said in a public C--t, that Mr. such a one was Stripp'd, Saddled, Hung up. &c. I am Mr. Printer Your most Obed. Cranny Row, Monday, B. W. This address Sir, If You deem it worthy a place in your useful Gazette, it is at your service for insertion. I am Sir Your sincere Well-wisher, S I R, IT is with real pleasure, that some of your Readers and well wishers, observe the genuine Spirit of Liberty that breathes in your late Publications. As the Original Publisher of a News-paper in INDIA, you have as undoubted a right, to the sole Property of Printing it, as if established by Charter, or letters patent from the Company, and we trust you will act up to those independent principles you have adopted. The Illiberal encroachment lately made upon your property must sensibly affect every good and disinterested mind, especially when we consider by what undue influence it has been brought about. Persevere then Sir, in pleading the Cause of suffering merit. boldly arraign those assassins, who under the mask of friendship point the secret Dagger, hold up to the light the deeds of darkness, and put your enemies in mind of those inward Monitors, which they seem to have lulled asleep. In acting this you play the part of a worthy Freeman of the Printers company, and a good citizen of the greatest metropolis in the World. ANTI MONITOR. By Letters from Madras. WHILE the Fleet under Sir E---- H---- has remained in a total State of inactivity on the Coast, ever since the capture of Pondecherry. The British Flag has suffered the most mortifying, and wanton insults from the French in India, and the merchants very serious Injury---- What has an English A------l to do at a Lascivious Durbar in a time of War: and when his Country and its Dominions, are threatened with Ruin. The Capture of the Bombay Merchant, Virtue, and of other Trading Vessels. The loss of one of our Indiamen.----The detention of the Cartel ship (a most insolent breach of good faith and Honour) to this hour UNNOTICED, and unretaliated. The open assistance given by the French to Hyder (who have been for some time past pouring in Troops, Engineers, and Artillery, on that Coast) are shamefull Reflexion's on the N--v--y, sent for the Company's service, and protection, and paid by them, at a most enormous Expence----For what? The Imprisonment and degrading cruel Insults, inflicted on that truly, worthy, and amiable Clergyman Mr. YEATES, while at the MAURITIAS, passes unheeded, with numerous other Instances sufficient to rouse the Indignation of all Men who have a Sense of duty, or Regard for the Honour of the English Name. While swarm's of French Cooks, French Doctors, Dancing Masters, Priests, Fidlers, Tooth Drawers, Frizeurs, and Toad Eaters, are suffered to Infest Calcutta, and to act as SPIES. And while many of our weeping Country men are Languishing in the Dungeons at Mauritias.----Frenchmen here, are actually appointed Justices of the peace.-- Witness Mons. Bretell, and Chambon, while D'Estang admitted on his parole D'Honeure is now in arms against us, and cutting english Throats in the West Indies. At this serious and solemn Juncture the C---l of Bengal regardless of their own dignity, are directing their Ire, and waging War to Ruin a poor unfortunate Printer and his Family,----but secure in Honesty and with the Law in his favour, He smiles at their little Malice. It is currently reported in the last account from the Coast that Sir H----r M----o a certain General had shot himself, how true this may, be we cannot assert, but the Laurels he reap'd at Buxar are withered.----More Europeans have been ignominiously Sacrificed in the late ill concerted and disgraceful Campaigns on the Coast than were lost by Lord, Clive, and the Gen'ls Laurence, and Coote, in the whole conquest of India, and the whole of the last War.

CALCUTTA. PROMOTIONS. THE Governor General and Council have thought proper to make the following Promotions from Assistants to full Surgeons take place, by their general Orders issued October the 30th 1780. viz. Mr. Wm. Inglis, Mr. Cha. Allen, Mr. Tho. Phillips, Mr. James Robertson, Mr. Kennett Markison, Mr. John Cheere, Mr. Walter Godie, Mr. Cha. English, Mr. James Bailie, Mr. Tho, Fullerton Gardner, On sunday night last the Godowns of—Petre esq; was broke open and Robb'd of Goods to a considderable amount, with which the thieves got clear off. Tuesday last about twelve o'Clock, Sir Elijah Impey, and his Lady embarked on board their Budgerow which lay at Raja Hugarree mauls Gaut, on an excursion to the Cities of Cossimbaazar and Muxadabad. From the known VALOUR and great MARTIAL ABILITIES of Colonel—who Commands the detatchment under marching Orders for the Coast, we may shortly expect to see HYDER in Chains, a Companion to the Lyon in the G-----s Compound at Buckingham House. N. B. The Cage is preparing. We have the pleasure to inform the Public that the report which was spread thro' Calcutta for several days relative to Hyder Ally's having destroy'd every one by the sword at Arcott, is entirely without foundation, that on the contrary, the Garrison having capitulated, he very generously, sent an escort with the English Troops to conduct them safe until they came within a few miles of Madras.—How noble and General like was this act. And what is more remarkable they say, he never stopp'd their letters at the post Office, but supply'd them with Harcarers from his own Camp. How much we wrong the Insidels of those remote and savage Nations, when we suppose them capable of acting a more base part than we do ourselves.

A whimsical Anecdote relating to the Original MACHEATH. TOM WALKER, the original and jovial Mackheath, once gave out a play, in which he exhibited his happy talent for blundering. It was upon a Saturday night, the play Henry the Eight, for the benefit of Mrs. Bicknell. After having made his bow, he began, "Ladies and gentlemen. To morrow', Here a Gentleman from the pit interupted him saying, "To-morrow is Sunday, Sir," This address threw poor Walker into confusion: however recalling, as well as he could, his scattered spirits, and making a second bow, he very sententiously delivered himself in the following manner: On Monday night next will be performd the historical play of King Henry the Eight, containing the divorce of Anna Bullen the marriage of Queen Catherine, and the death of Cardinal Wolsey, for the benefit of Mrs. Bicknell. Authentick Anecdote of the late Sir WALTER BLACKETT. THE unbounded generosity of this worthy man was remarkable on all occasions; of which, the following is but a slight instance:—He was remarkably fond of shooting; and, in an excursion of this kind, being alone, on a moor adjoining to Weardale, he happened to arrive at the cottage of a poor shephard; who (though unknown to him) was his tenant. To a visitor of his apperance, the poor cottager brought out the best his frugal Board afforded; during his stay, Sir Walter took occasion to enquire to whom his house belonged? "To one of the best men in the world, replies the man, to Sir Walter Blackett, sir;—no doubt you have heard of him; but these knavish stewards for three years past have advanced my rent to almost double the value of the little tenament I occupy;—I wish I could have the honour to see my worthy Landlord, for I am told any person may speak to him; I would acquaint him of my ill usage." Sir Walter smiled, but did not discover himself: On departing he presented the cottager's wife with a sum of Money; and, soon after ordered his house to be rebuilt; and a considerable abatement in his rent. A LITERARY ANECDOTE. THE Celebrated ELIZA, often mentioned in the works of Sterne, was the beautiful Mrs. Draper of Bombay Wife to Daniel Draper esq; of the late Council, and a Native of St. Helena. The extraordinary manner of Mr. Sterne's first becoming acquainted with that Lady is thus related by Himself. "I happened to be very ill at the time "and sitting by the Fire side, one morning "in my Lodgings when I received a very "polite card, in a Female hand unknown, "acquainting me that having been struck "with that rich vein of Philanthropy, she "was pleased to say, which flow'd like "Milk and Honey through all my writings, "Mrs. Draper would be much obliged and "flattered if I would afford Her an Opportunity "of a personal acquaintance with "the Author, by doing her the favour of "drinking Tea with Her that evening." I was too weak to venture abroad I wrote Her word so—assured Her that I longed equally for the pleasure of an Acquaintance with any person whose heart and mind seemed to sympathize with those affections, she was so kind to compliment me upon, and that I intreated the honour of a Sans ceremonie, visit from her, upon this occasion, that very evening. She condescended to accept my invitation and came accordingly.—She visited me every Day while I continued confined;—which kindness I return'd most punctually, as soon as I was able to go abroad. She was a Woman of sense, and Virtue, not lively but possessed of that charming sort of even chearfulness from goodness.—Mens conscia Recti. She was reserved, and, wou'd rarely speak 'till spoken to. She had like a Lute, all the passive powers of Music in her, but wanted the Master's hand to bring them forth. She had quitted England very young, before her tender affections had been rendered callous by the collisions of the World. she had been carried into India where She continued till those sentiments had been ripened into Principle, and were inspired with all the sublime enthusiasm of Eastern Morality. She seemed to be unhappy. This added a tenderness to my esteem for her. I guessed but enquired not Her private History, and she communicated nothing. She would repine, but not resent. From that time we held on a constant and refined intercourse, while she remained in the Kingdom, and a friendly correspondence succeded our parting to meet alas! no more, in this World. She happened to be another Mans Wife. But the charity that had attracted, with the Virtue that had united us, were not able to screen us from the censure of base Minds. Neither her own fair character, nor the memento of my Ghostly appearance were sufficient bars to slander. The improbability of a Malicious story serves but to help forward the currency of it, because it increases the Scandal. So that, in such instances, the World, like the Romish Priests, are industrious to propagate a belief in things they have not the least faith themselves; or, like the pious St. Austin who said He believed some things because they were absurd and impossible. L. S. Sterne is also supposed to have had some remote allusion to Mrs. Draper in his character and Description of MARIA in His sentimental Journey. An Original Epistle written by S— T—f—y esq ATTORNEY at LAW to a young Lady lately married who rejected his suit. OH Listen my Fair to your poor distressed CLIENT, Your ORATOR humble and daily SUPPLIANT Let me gain but THIS SUIT, or it will be my last, For I am the PLAINTIFF, and you the DEFENDANT, And on my success all my bliss is Dependant, I Ne'er shall survive it if I should be CAST: Your REPLIES and CROSS ANSWERS my PLEAS have confuted, I tremble for fear, least I should be NONSUITED, Since Reason, in LAW and LOVES COURT should prevail, Oh Grant me my fair One the Fruits of my labour, Look kindly, and pass a decree, in my favour And make me FOR EVER your TENANT IN T—L. S. T. Attorney at Law, To the PUBLIC. INTO whatever part of the town I go, I hear accounts of that general disorder, which is now so extremely prevalent, namely, a most excruciating pain in the region of the stomach, attended with severe griping; and as I have been frequently applied to on this occasion, and have had repeated oppurtunities of administering a medicine which has hitherto been attended with success, I therefore esteem it a duty incumbent upon me to communicate the same in a public manner. RECIPE. Ginger grated fine, six grains. The best Turkey rhubarb, in fine powder, 12 grains. Magnesia Alba, two scruples. To be mixed together in a large tea-cupful of simple peppermint water, and taken at night going to bed. This remedy must be occasionally repeated at proper intervals.

HEMP. A D D R E S S. MR. HICKY, begs leave to inform his Friends and the Public in Gen'l that he will speedily (at the solicitation of several La-dies and Gentlemen of Distinction) open a Subscription for erecting a NEW THEATRE in Calcutta, and as he is well versed in the Sock and Buskin, having practiced when at School, and tho' many years has elaps'd since that time, yet he hopes by their friendly assistance, he will soon be able to render them entertainment. He is now writing out a Comic, Tragic Farce call'd the Medly of Mortals, wherein within the space of two Acts Tyrranny, Triumphs over Virtue. At Length the plot is discovered and Virtue Triumph's, and the guilty Mortals are brought to Public view loaded with chains, and disgrace. Mr HICKY has the happiness to ac-quaint them that he has experienced the greatest support, from the Gentlemen of the Settlement, ever since the admission of his Gazette was suppressed by the c——l of the Post Office. Mr HICKY has also the pleasure to in-form them that his Friends has persuaded him to open a subscription, for sending his News-papers Annually to England, and that he has now got several subscribers. As the Original Bengal Gazette, will in fu-ture abound with lively and enteresting subjects and that the most secret, and clandestine transactions if properly authentica-ted and supported shall be inserted without any regard being paid to the oppressors, or the shape it may bear. Any Gentleman or Lady going home (that has not already subscribed) and are will-ing to become subscribers, are requested to send their address in writing to Mr. Hicky, at the printnig Office and he will send instruc-tions to his Attorney in London to have them delivered carefully. N B: The Papers will be sent home an-nually by the Europe ships. S I R, THE Opposition of the new Gazette to your very excellent paper will like a Collision of Flint and Steel only serve to strike out the Latent Sparks of wit and gen-ius, which your friends are all convinced, nothing but your modesty hath hitherto conceal'd, go on Sir as you have began, and your paper will rise superiour to all attempts to oppose it, however shou'd your enemies so far prevail, as to reduce you to the situation you so feelingly and at the same time so humoursly describe of composing and singing your Ballads thro' the Streets of Calcutta, as your old Friend Homer did, you can never want subjects to exercise your ta-lents upon, while knaves and fools are to be found. Satire my dear Sir, is the seasoning that gives the relish to wit it suits every pa-late and is adapted to every taste. Your Performances will be eagerly sought after, and I have no doubt but like anteus you will rise stronger from your fall. All exertions of public spirit are so discouraged in those de-generate times that I am not at all surprised at the endeavours of the malicious to keep your merit down but, Justum, & tenacem propositi virum Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vultus instantis tyranni Mente quatit solida; &c. &c. But let them not boast of their victory so soon, Remember who are your Opponents & the motives of their opposition: reflect that it is folly that trembles at the uplifted lash that it is the feeble attempts of conscious vice to divert the impending storm, recollect Sir that it is the common cause of virtue and injur'd merit that you have to defend, and let not the generous glow of indignity be sup-press'd remember that your friend Horace says —— Paulum sepulta distat iner tid Celata Virtus. Be yourself, Stand upon your own ground an conceal not the talents with which you are so capitally blest. A. B. To the PUBLIC. IMPROVEMENTS. A Gentleman has by a Chimical re-search discovered a certain method of render-ing Train Oil and other vitious Oils as pure and free from smell as the finest sallad Oil. Persons cencerned in the Oil trade or others may derive very great advantages by means of this Discovry, and make a sure Fortune in a short time. The Author will communicate the secret for a Pecuniary Consideration; or will enter into Partnership with any Person inclined to employ a sum of Money in this Lucrative Line which is totally free of risk and the re-turn speedy.

POET'S CORNER. Mr. HICKY, S I R, If you think the accompaning lines worthy your Gazette, by inserting them in your next, you will greatly Oblige your constant Reader. O. X. An Ode wrote under the statue of Cupid in Hugley Gardens. TO him whose genial wings outspread O'er chaos wild abyss. From blind confusions order bred And bid the hubbub cease. To him who from the Eternal spring, Coeval with his Sire. To him on whose harmonious Tongue, Dwells more than human fire. To him whose mild whose puissant sway, The varied world obeys. To love I raise the votive lays, To love I give the Bays. ********************************* TO M A R I A. NEVER shall thy lovely Picture, Be effaced from my wounded Heart, Nor e'er shall thy stately Figure, From my constant Memory depart. Not the most dreadful tempest's rage, Not the loud crush of Heavens orbs, Could e'er my ardent Love assuage, Which ev'ry other care absorbs. Neither shall Fortunes utmost hate, Or the best Gifts she can impart, Have power to obliterate Thy strong impression from my Heart. My Thoughts are so deep entangled With thy locks, moles, and all thy charms They will not be unravelled Even then, when stern death alarms. For thy Impression is so found, And deeply graven on my mind, That when I die, 'twill there be found, Then you'll Alas! too late be kind. Should'st thou load me with thy extreame Displeasure, yet shall thy Image And thy Beauty, still be my Theme, Even unto my latest Age. Tho' my Heart still strays after thee O then most cruel Fair! yet say Shall I not seek the Remedy, The sharp pain of Love to allay. Alas! should my Friends seek to shun, Distraction bitter, such as mine, After the Fair they must not run, Nor ever view such charms as thine. A. CALCUTTA PRICE CURRENT, the Month of December 1780.
