HICKY's BENGAL GAZETTE; OR THE ORIGINAL Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None. 75 From Saturday the June 23d to Saturday June 30th 1781. [No. XXIII] Bon Ton Intelligence Extraordinary. WE hear the Scavoire Vivre, lately distinguished by the Title of the COMMUNITY have unanimously balloted in a NEW MEMBER Master LEAVELAND GOGGLE EYE of BOGALE HALL; he has already taken his Tour of duty in the Suite of the Haughty Roxana. No Hindostanny Slipper can set easier than new Admirers on the mind of this fair OBDURATE. TENT POLE IMPROMPTU, finding his wings singed and remembering the fate of Ovids ICARUS from soaring too near the Sun, has wisely retreated from its scorching Rays just in time to save both Heart and liver he has drawn off Horse, Foot, and Artillery, being too impetuous to prosecute a Trojan seige, His Chief Engineer, JACK PURRANNA KILLA approved the Arrangement, and being resolved not to be responsible for measures he is not allow'd to guide; has resigned his share in the Guardian-ship to CUDDY-COSSEPORE and CHUTAH PIGDANNY. The latter Hovers about her like an unfledged Cupid or "FRIBBLE in Miss in her Teens," preparing Lipsalves and adjusting Patches. DUKEY CLUMSEY of Indictment Hall, with his usual perspicuity, confesses himself lost in amazement and like BOBADIL positively "Plannet struck,".---It is much to be lamented that even the Polish of the SCAVOIRE VIVRE, has not given this square sterned Member the Address and manner of a Gentleman, he still retains the Original Air of a TICKET PORTER.---This Hero has shewn fewer symptoms of "Public spirit," than any of the SIGHING BAND, discouraged perhaps by the fate of his "ill star'd," Friend the Presumptuous PULTA ROTAS (the Copper smith) commonly call'd the Bermingham Counterfeit, head MATER and Scavenger to the right worshipfull BOARD of INCLE WEAVERS. Intelligence Extraordinary from Leaden Hall Street, on India affairs THE last Advices from Leaden hall Street Mention, that on the Petition being Read and presented to the House of Commons, an Embargo was laid on the EXPORTATIONS of LAWYERS under any denomination to India, notwithstanding Judge Hardinge was recently appointed a Judge in the Supreme Court and actually ready to Embark.---The Court of Directors have been made fully Sensible that THE CORPS of Lattitats in India prove more perplexing and troublesome than the MUSQUITOS---that they have been destructive of Commerce, and Confidence, and created more Confusion and devastation in Bengal than all the Mahratta Powers Combin'd. To Mr. HICKY SIR, AT a time when the necessities of the State are felt by all ranks of persons, and even threaten the Existence of the State itself, all Ordinances tending to frugality, and the encrease of the Revenues must be approved of; and in this light the late regulations for the Post Office department, however imprecidently severe nay illegally so upon Individuals (who have, I believe, the privilege in every Country upon Earth but this to employ their own Messengers) may be tolerated, when we consider the great Condescension of the first Ministers, in voluntary divesting themselves of all exclusive privileges, and reducing themselves to a level with us common Plebeans, and all for the public good, and for the valuable Encrease of the Company's Revenues of one hundred and fifty Rupees per Mensem. After the laudable, and singular proof we have just adduced, of steady Patriotism, and true disinterestedness; it is to be regretted that a system so just and praiseworthy, should be sullied with the want of Uniformity, and contain Instances repugnant to its own spirit, such for example as the Creation of Offices, with exorbitant Salaries; without use, and without end; such for instance as a Colater of the Companys Records, with 1,500 Rupees per Month; an Agent (to be) for Boats 1,500 Rupees per Month; a searcher of Boats for smuggled Treasure; do. --- exclusive of the law Offices, which are encreasing every day, and at the head of which may be placed that of an addition of three thousand Rupees per Month (to what the Court of Directors thought not only adequate, but excessive) to the salary of the first Law Officer, tho' the Man has never yet attempted to execute the Employment for which He was expressly sent out, by defending a single Suit of the Company's, or dare venture even to appear in Court, conscious that He should there be liable to many insults and this moderate and well-earned addition being still inadequate to his wishes, a Contract instead of suitable Reprobation is now in Contemplation for him. It would be wrong, too, to overlook the trifling Sum of twenty thousand pounds lately paid to purchase the resumption of a Grant, the Inconveniences of which, when made, but not before, were so conspicuous, as to require the annulling of it, at any rate, to be absolutely expedient, and this is not the first instance, nor will, I dare say, be the last.--- After this short recital of facts, what must one think of the Rulers of the Government in which they can occur, who, strictly speaking, Quack Doctor like, varies his Plans, as the other his Medicines, without either knowledge of the Constitution, or their effects, and we shall assuredly see with the same Success.--- A. B. C. Mr. HICKY THERE can be no stronger proof of the affectionate regard, our gracious Sovereign entertains for his Subjects in this remote quarter of his Dominion, than the benign, unruffled temper he preserved in essaying to plant the standard of his power: --- a Despot would have dispatched the royal mandate on the point of the Sword, or poured forth a pageant military force, to assert the unalterable letter of his will, and blazon about the insignia of sovereignty: but the more cautious strides of a limited Monarch are marked with the tinsel of humanity, and steal upon us arrayed in the meek attire of J---; invading where they are said to protect, oppressing where they seem to relieve, and destroying where the effect to cure.---But had our credulous Sovereign been better acquainted with the frame of the human heart, (when left to float at freedom in the wide expanse of interest, Ambition, and Power) wisdom would have whispered to him; "vain oh Prince is thy attempt, --- J---d Rulers will as naturally become Politicians as Commerical ones, and when ever this shall happen, which will be as early as the necessary helps concur, the extention of thy prerogative (the actual intent of their embally) will be as little an object of their zeal, as the dispensation of J--- (the ostensible one.") How admirably does the evidence of experience concur in supporting this presumption. The eyes of a Savage suffering people were at first fixed upon the stern assertors of the Rights of Society, as upon beings of a Superior nature; but J---t which ought ever to be, and in this instance above all others ought to have been pure, simple, and unmixed, acquires in a little time, all the essentials of an art or profession, whose principle is private emolument, supported on quibble, and pursued with the wanton impunity of an unprescribed power, vested in them for other (alike reproachable purposes. A few examples of the excellence of the laws of a free Country, fill a people bred up at the School of despotism with the deepest astonishment, --- they are ravished to behold the prerogative of human nature, appear in its native dignity! but it was a momentory flash and dazled with a false lustre: --- Men charged by the greatest King on Earth, to spread the fame of his prowess and clemency, stoop to play the mean parts of the Managers of a pupet show, who hold up a figure or two to the gaping Crow'd, by way of drawing them in; and afterwards give them to understand, that Money only can unfold the fine things behind the Curtain.--- The better to disguise the real complexion of their proceedings they have recourse to a few glaring acts of Authority (which however were more tinctured with insolence than equity) on their fellow Country-men; as the strongest argument to overthrow the true interpretation of their conduct. A Herd of Lawyers start up, and breed like insects in summer, for the decline of J---t is the summer of Lawers; these profess to prefer the complaints of the oppressed before the new tribunal --- but the poor fools perceived that this new tribe were inaccessible to them, and the rich discovered that tho' J---t be a mighty precious thing, in their hands it became very dear: however as it enables them to gain any point, the practice will hardly be discont nued on their parts: --- thus are the Rights of men reduced to that state in which they repos'd before the invention of laws, the stronger rule over the weak; or what is virtually the same, the rich are enabled to lord it over

poor. The deluded people now find when too late, that this visionary saint of J—e has the same bent with all the Acts of their conquerors, to strip them of their properties and keep them in thraldom: and the Sovereign and his laws are thus rendered equally hated and contemptible. So strong is the antipathy of the middling cast of people to avail themselves of law, that they will rather suffer any act of oppression any indignity: — as for the poor they utter their complaints to the wind, the seat of J— is by far too remote from them, for their tales to be heard. Who but must lament that one whose merits would have enrolled his name amongst the Worthies of his Country, should sacrifice his glory, by uniting in sentiment, and sharing his power, with a man who has blotted the ——— he was sent to embellish: let him reflect that in collision with so impure and Corrupted a subject, the lustre of his Character will receive an indelible tarnish:— is there any act so infirm in the course of his administration, as to make him look forward to a time, when he may require the sophistry and Chicane of this quibling ——— to defend him at the bar of his Country.— Emilius *** Mr. HICKY, THE Advocates for a Paper circulation, uniformly urging it's expediency from the great decline of Trade, by which I suppose they mean to imply the free export and import trade of this Country. drew me into a train of reflection, in order if possible to discover some grounds whereupon to rest their hipothesis, but my researches are hitherto unsuccessful. It is therefore to be wished they would point out those particular branches of a decayed Trade, which are to be re-animated by the intrusion of this imaginary wealth: I do not mean to call their abilities in question, nor is it from a spirit of controversy that I write, but to convince my reason, and direct the sense of the Public, who will be naturally averse to support a measure until they know on what principles it inclines. At a time of such critical exigency every good Member of the Community is sollicitous to unite the Ideas of necessity, and utility, in a plan from which Government might obtain so liberal a support; but unless this can be achieved, it involves in itself such future effects, that prudence forbids, and the welfare of a Country already on the verge of ruin, militates most forcibly against it's being put in Practice. Money (giving it the greatest latitude) can only be considered a meer Instrument in Commerce; and surely Paper credit which is no more than it's substitute, cannot claim a greater weight:— The constituent means which enter into a system of Trade once erected, are of a real and primary nature, they relate to the natural and artificial productions of Countries and their domestic wants; either physical, which arise from an actual necessity coexistant with their situation, and founded on a local deffect, or acquired and imaginary, which last is the call of luxary, and to these a commodiousness of situation and climate, in respect to the Places and Countries with which transactions of exchange are to be carried on:—then I say a mass of Trade cannot be endangered by any accident, which falls short, of destroying entirely or by some extraneous effect, altering the natural bent of one or either of those considerations which are the real subjects of it: and if they are thus destroyed or altered nothing but the re-investiture of them, the acquisition of new ones; or a power of counteracting that influence by which the change is produced, can restore a Trade so impaired to it's former state. Now the Trade of this and every other Country (when abstracted from the many intricate sophisms, with which the subject is too often clogged by men whose particular views and tempers incline them to perplex rather than explain) admits of very reasonable comparisons; it's operations being plainly reducible to the three simple acts, of the exchange of one commodity for another, receiving specie in exchange for commodities, or paying it away for those we receive; the use of money (on our parts) does not enter into the two first acts, and is therefore confined to that particular Branch, which supposes an exchange of specie for commodities; but this is the only branch which continues to flourish, and bloom whilst there is a Rupee left in the Country; it is that species of commerce which draws aliment from the ruin of Countries, and the decline of states.—I leave it to the Reader to judge how far it is likely to fall, in this thriving Country!—The more beneficial branches are fallen off by a natural decay, either having been overstrained, by some fatal accidents from without; or being pursued at random without system regulation, or foresight, they have hurled themselves to a period. Let us therefore suppose that Ten Crore of Rupees were by some strange accident thrown into the circulation of this Country at once (and surely an imaginary circulation to the same amount could have no better effects than a real one) what good would accrue to a ruined Trade whilst the original means are destroyed? it might increase the concurrence of Traders, without extending the field to which their exertions are to be confined: but if the bed of a River were to sink by means of it's springs drying up, widening the Channel would be the last expedient a man in his senses would hit upon, to restore it to it's former height.—I will moreover admit that on such an increase of circulation being duly felt by the different branches of native industry, they might acquire greater activity; but when we reflect that these look up to trade for a perpetual support, this effect would resemble the spirits which a natural body receives on having recourse to the bottle it supports the drooping subject for a while but when the effects of the Liquor subside he feels himself more languid and despondant than before. Thus far have I led my inquiries into the possible advantages which might be proposed from the plan without touching on it's contrary effects; these would form a long detail: but I must confess they might be treated with more ease and perspicuity than the former, indeed every one forms an axiom. Could an additional circulation open fresh channels in the different Ports of Asia for the disposal of the Manufactures and natural productions of this soil; could it open a profitable door in Persia Arabia and Turkey for the reception of our Merchants; could it render our exportations to the Eastward more acceptable to the Chineses Mallayes and other Trading Countries, whose Ports have been glutted with our commodities:—could it oblige Foreigners who are undermining us in our Europe Trade, with our own Money, to bring specie along with them, in place of laying their whole dependance on the loans so prodigally lavished upon them here by British Subjects.—Finally could it defeat that visible concatination of ills, which are precipitating the Trading interests of this Country to ruin—, who would not wish for a Bank. ANTI BUBBLE. *** Extract of the Resolution's Engagement with Hyder Ally's Fleet, November 29 1780. AT 4 P. M. saw a Fleet of Vessels a head, at 6 Ditto discovered them to be Hyder Ally's, consisting of 3 Ships, 2 Snows, 6 Gallivats, and 2 Ketches, and Dingeys ditto haul'd out to the Southward of them, at 3 quarters past 6 lost sight of them, at 8 bore away our course for Tellicherry. At 9 saw them again standing to the Northward. At a quarter past 12 Midnight we perceived them standing after us, and coming up very fast, ditto call'd all Hands to Quarters, and a quarter before 1 A. M. a Grab Ship (the Admiral) came up on the Starboard quarter and two in the Wake, the Grab Ship hail'd us, and desired to send our Boat on Board, and began to fire and Rake us, which we returned with a Broadside, and then began the Engagement, which continued till past 3 A. M. for as we silenced the Ship or two we was Engaging, they sheered off, and fresh ones supplied their places until the whole Fleet was silenced, and at a little past 3 A. M. the whole Fleet sheered off, and stood to the Northward, We very fortunately had no one killed in the Action, Capt. Poynting Wounded in seven different places and one Man shot thro' the Arm with a Musket ball, We received several shots in our Hull, and three of our Main shrouds shot away, and our Sails much cut, at 8 A. M. the Drake and Eagle Cruizers joined us and sent their Surgeons on board to dress our Captain's Wounds, at 9 heard a smart Cannonading and saw the fleet we had beat off engaged with a single Ship which we take to be His Majesty's Ship the Coventry. In the Morning when we came to examine what shots and damages we had received in our Hull, found the following viz. A shot hole on the Larboard quarter just at the surface of the Water, and had gone quite thro' into the after hold, three shot holes abaft the Chefftrees, one shot, that came in just before the Chefftree below the Gun Deck, and carried away the Timber, drove the Plank of the Water way seam on the Gun Deck up above 3 Inches, another shot thro' the Cut-water just abaft the Gammoning of the Bowsprit and carried away part of the filling up betwixt the Knees of the Head, one shot came in just abaft the after Port of the great Cabbin carried away the Ring, Eye, and bolt of the Gun Tackle carried away the knee and took the Plank very much, two shots that came ran thro' the Dead Light of the Great Cabbin Windows, one shot came in at the Balcony carried away two of the Ballisters, went thro', the Captain's Couch and then carried away, three of the foremost beams of the Poop deck one shot Wounded the Anchor stock, one, went thro' the foremast, but so as not to damage the Mast it going thro' the fish at the...

forepart of the Mast, with several Musket balls sticking about the Mast and the Ship. To Mr. HICKY Reformer of Asia. S I R, THE inclosed are the actual Conditions on which the New Chancellor Received the Seals. ——— To such a prostituted abandon'd pitch is Government decended in England, that the same infamy and folly prevails in every distinct department of the State. The first Lord of the Admiralty Sells the Command of the India Squadron to O'l apple Woman (for Sir ——— Durbar is no better.) ——— The Government of Madras is sold by the Premier and G——— to Sir Tho's Pillege, the new negociation was settled in the Royal N——— and the Q——— Dry Nurse made plenipo on the occasion. Mark the Consequence! ——— View the Fleet and its operations and Cast an Eye of Horror and Compassion toward the Carnatic! ——— but it is TOO TOO BAD for a moments indurance. The Printer as an honest Man and as lover of truth will do his best to expose this Scene of Iniquity, and bring the Actors and perpetrators to Condign Punishment unless God in his wrath, hurls the Cursed Delinquints to swifter, destruction. ——— Mr. HICKY bid them one and all Great and Small beware, for they shall not escape a Litery Scourging in his Gazette for their Rascality &c. &c. Here follow the Conditions and Categorical assent. Conditions in which the new MINSTERIAL M, T——— now Lord T——— accepted of the Seals. 1.st THAT he shall, without scruple, chicanery, ambiguity, reservation, quirk, quibble, or subtle distinction, be the tool of my two favourites. Content. 2. That he shall not presume to have an opinion of his own, but at all times, and in all cases whatever, implicitly follow the directions of my said favourites. Ditto; but not responsible. 3. That he shall, withall his might and impudence, support the present sanguinary system, and every Court measure. Ditto; provided not a drop of my blood is to be spilt. 4. That he shall not at any time delay, no, not for a moment, the weighty business of the Woolpack, for that of the Bench; or neglect the Peers for the Lawyers. Damn the Lawyers! 5. That he shall seek every occasion to bully, brow-beat, affront, and insult, the ancient and independannt Peers, more especialy Charley's saucy breed. Ditto; provided in case of a citation, my honor is to be preserved by the r--l interposition; for which purposes white staff is by command to be always at hand. 6. That he shall seek every occasion to shorten debate. Ditto. 7. That he shall not presume to give his advice unasked What Lawyer ever did? Mr. HICKY S I R, THRO the Channel of your Independant paper I Request the Insertion of the following and being the first time of taking up my pen for public matter — if you think it worthy of a Corner — it will possibly encourage me to furnish you hereafter with Subjects of General Utility, and the Intimation I mean to give is from a principle to remove and to root up the vain Idea of little great Men who are as much devoured with false Ambition and pride in the East, as what they were with Indigency and Scant in their own Country — but this vain parade of itself points out the Man -- while Ease and Affability denotes the Gentleman — for the present I will be as Delicate as possible — but should future Subject call a loud for attention from the Public — then possibly my pen may be dipt in Gall — not to scurrilize, but to scourge the Enemys of Man-kind and thereby Expose the unworthy Members of Community. The subordinate Settlements are furnished with One, and some two Doctors, one for the Revenue the other for the Commerical Department — but I am sorry to observe that there are a few among them — indeed almost general — so ridiculously lost in pride by Ease and good feeding, that they certainly think it beneath them to give their attendance to an individual not in the service — but the want of Rank, is no want of Merit and I could wish to know their Rank before they came out, or the Rank of their Master, possibly some little Apothecary in a Country Village -- but by this false notion of greatness the lives of valuable Men are lost who for the want of assistance are obliged to Quack with the Country Medicines a certain Poison to European Constitutions. Instances of the kind have I frequently seen, and are as frequently practised — I will quote two Circumstances of late date. ——— 1st A Gentleman in the Mofussil Mr. P fell out of his Chaise and broke his Leg on which he wrote to Docter Oatmiell of one of the factorys for his assistance — but it was too fateagueing for Mr. Glister to go — so that the unhappy Man lay in this Condition some days in Violant Torture --- He then applyed to another of the faculty in the Military Department who saw no Obligation he had to attend him --- therefore sent an Inferior Crocus who possibly never sett a Bone in his Life --- being what you may call a Dresser by which the Gentleman is to this Hour a Cripple. 2dly A Gentleman of my acquaintance in the first state of his disorder applyed to this very man Dr. Oatmell who was so polite as to give no answer, and about a Month afterwards, my friend was confined to his Bed and in danger, he therefore was necessitated to renew his application and try the feelings of a Countryman of Docter Oatmels who was equally impenitrable and who as politely Excused him self. Ungerous and Cruel --- that the life of a Man not in the service --- should be of so little Value Altho' it ought to be considered --- that we are all Englishmen, Subjects to the same King --- breathing under the same Colour, equally Brave posses the same principles -- ready on every Emergency --- and not in Turky but in Bengal --- therefore if Lives are to be thus sported with -- adieu to Humanity -- and adieu to Religion. You Gentlemen of the faculty ---- should make your selves remarkable by good Actions, for neither your Money nor your Rank will recommend you to the Eyes of the Public, English Blood at this Juncture is of Intrinsick Value, and much so in this Country, and as a Man of feeling I could wish that your Conduct was regulated by your superiors that your attendance might be demanded on pain of dismission from the service --- which would be but Equitable by the Laws of God and Man and that when your services were required -- to prevent your esteeming it a favor --- that you be paid your Bill for Medicine and attendance as Customary and that a provision be made for those not in Circumstances so that your neglect might plead no Excuse from saving a Brother dyeing under disease. A British Subject. PUBLIC LIBRARY.
