HICKY's BENGAL GAZETTE; OR THE ORIGINAL Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None. From Saturday August the 11th to Saturday August 18th 1781. [No. XXX] To all Gentlemen Seamen, and Lads of Enterprize, and true spirit. WHO are ambitious of making an honorable Independence by the Plunder of the Enemies of their Country. The DEATH or GLORY PRIVATEER a Prime sailing Vessel commanded by JAMES BRACEY mounting 22 six pounders, 12 Cohorns and twenty Swivels and carrying one hundred and twenty Men.—will leave Calcutta in a few days on a six Months cruise against the Dutch, French. and Spaniards. The best Treatment and Encouragement will be given. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Mr. HICKY, SIR THIS letter is wrote you and Signed in the singular person, the Contents are known to many.—The Subject is indeed an important one to the Public, being the Audawleets. Before the Regulations, established Some 20 Months since, they greatly wanted some being a Course of oppression to the Poor, so much indeed that any man, of Power, or Fortune conceiving a dislike to another wanting both, could effect to a Certainty his Ruin in a small time, by that Channel; and it may be supposed that the indigent and friendless met with little better success as Complainants.—Therefore some of the alterations made in the form of proceedings gave flatering hopes to the honest part of Mankind, but particularly that Order which the Complainant was obliged to make certain Deposits according to the amount of his demand. It never being apprehended there would be the heavey Cause of Complaints that appears now, and has nearly ever since a certain unexpected appointment.—At almost every Audauleet; many Causes now have been commenced for a considerable time, in which the Complainant, has made his regular deposit, has kept a Vakeel constantly brought his Witnesses whose examinations have been finished in two or three days, but who have been detained by order of Court without assigning any reason for nine Months, indeed till they have run away; and inwhich the Defendent has paid no regard to the Summons (nay in some beat the Peons) giving no security, but following their business and pleasure in Public without the least inconveniencies. Some indeed experiencing a partiality in their favor having their Liberty and property after having Confessed Judgment,——And others after their Security's have died. My Friends and myself Mr. HICKY, have indisputable proofs in our possession of many instances of this nature, having Correspondents who live near the principle Audauleets: and hereby gives notice thro' your Paper, that unless there is a proper speedy and invariable plan of distributing Justice, adopted in the Audauleets within these few Months—that a List of Causes with their proceedings. shall be truly drawn up and Published in your paper, in order to be transmitted Home. When a certain Great Man was apply'd to for a person of Honor and abilities out of the service, for one of the Audauleets and gave Answer in the Negative, saying, " That 'till the number of Company's Servants out of Employ were provided for, no free Merchant &c. should have his interest for any Post; He surely forgot his Duty? In the service he might say from experience, tho' the Man was not made for the Post, the Post was made for the Man; but in appointments to places that the Public are the Paymasters and entirely intrusted in the Ability, Affiduity, and Integrity of the Parties, Those circumstances should solely have been attended to, and not appoint Gentlemen who should say they were concious of their unfitness in every respect, but they had not Virtue to refuse 12 or 1500 Rupees per Month, and live upon their bare pay of a Junior Merchant, Factor &c. &c. In the India Gazette the Assistance of all Europeons British Subjects with their property, &c. is mentioned as not only the final reasourse but what is expected,—and with justice; as their being treated with propriety; but they will not deem being excluded from every means of execising their Industry; or their being told " That the laws are not made for them and that if they do not like them, they may leave them, Becoming Treatment! but this is too Copious a subject for the present views; which is to procure regular invariable Rules of Equity to be Established in the Audauleets, the modes of proceedings to be rendered speedy and concise, and the whole to be made Public. I am Sir. Your Humble Sirvent. PUBLICUS. ———————————————————— Mr. HICKY, I have resided in different parts of India for some years past; during which Period I have had frequent opportunities, of remarking the ungenerous and illiberal behaviour, of the generality of the Company's Servants towards those among their Countrymen; who are not within the pales of the service: these narrow and unmanly Prejudices are become so glaring and are carried to such an extravagant length, particularly by the military gentry; that I am surpriz'd their preposterous conduct has not been already expos'd and censur'd by some of your correspondents. As I do not recollect to have seen this subject treated by any of them, I take the liberty of offering you a few thoughts upon it; if you think them worth a place in your paper before I proceed it will be necessary to premise, that I have the dishonour according to the prevailing opinions amongst the Right Hon'ble servants of the Company; to belong to that Class of Englishmen, who find themselves in the Hon'ble Companies Teritories, without having brought with them a Commission or indenture from their Ware-House in Leaden Hall Street: These wonderful Talismans produce more extraordinary effects upon their fortunate possessions than the ,, Hic est Corpus meum" of the Catholics, in the celebration of Mass; they immediately transubstantiate the sons of Tradesmen Shop keepers and mechanics nay even those who have exercised those professions themselves at home into esquires and right hon'ble gentlemen who on their arrival in India, so far forget themselves; as to effect a supreme contempt for those orders of men, from which the far greater part of them, derive their Origin: Is it not then most egregiously Ridiculous! in those Gentry who came out from Europe needy Adventurers, (very few excepted) to assume such Airs of dignity and importance, and speak so contemptfully of, and to all those, who are not connected with them in the bonds of servitude; tho' in every respect their equals at least, except that the latter owe Obedience to no one, but their sovereign and the Laws of their Country, while the greater part of the first are the dependants to say no more, on a few individuals in Power and I appeal to the numerous discontents, and revolutions of Places, amongst them, how severely they experience the galling yoke of this excessive Power in their superiors; If these reflections should not be able to excite in none of those humble servants of the Company a more modest opinion of their greatness and moderation in their demeanor; they will I hope at least afford some consolation to the independant part of the Company of my

Countrymen by shewing them, that the greatness and affected importance of those hon'ble Hirelings is vain and idle and has much more shew than Substance in it. In short, 'tis to this State of War-face, intreague amongst themselves and the Jealousies and animosities which are their necessary attendants; that the free Europeans chiefly owe the little civility we meet with amongst them; were they in a more perfect state of unanimity and Prosperity God knows what bounds they would put to their haughty and Imperious insolence, some of my Readers may perhaps think this Language too free & poignant, but I am persuaded their numbers will be confin'd to them alone at whom I have aim'd at, and whose resentment will give me very little concern the rest I hope, will both easily excuse my warmth, and admit both the thruth of the charge, and the justness of the censure: I have much more to say on the subject, but it would engross too large a portion of your Paper at this time, I shall therefore reserve the rest for another opportunity, or intirely suppress it according as I find you dispos'd to Publish or reject it. Philanthropos. Extract of a Letter from Bombay dated 14th July 1781 THE declaration of War against the Dutch was read here at the head of the Army on the Kings Birth day. I suppose Chinsurah can no longer afford protection to english debtors, it is thought here that the Admiral will make a bould stroke against some of the Dutch settlements and that immediately for fear of Commodore Johnston snatching the laurel who is expected in India daily with a large Fleet of men of War and Indiamen. Our Army is encamp'd at Kallian and talks of nothing but another Campaign. The prime sailed last week with Messrs. Shackhouse, Ramsey. The Edgerton family Graces &c. &c. All the Ships are arrived here that is expected except the Charlotte and free Mason. The Morning Star Captain Pigot arrived the other day from Muscat with Major Nicholson and a Capt. Conran in the Kings service passengers they have each a Packet from Europe to the Governor General and Council of Bengal. It is reported here General Washington is come over to the King to make peace and his army dwindled away to 1500 Men, and it is also said the 2 grand Fleets commanded by Rodney and Count d'Estaing engaged in March last, but nothing favourable of either side. — the Enemy have lost 2 of their Admirals in the engagements this is all I hear of at present — Sailed the other day the following Ships for Madras bound to China — Contractor Capt. Balden, — Ponsborn Capt. Lamaevzure Indiamen Country Ship Cartier, and Shaw Byram Gose. — The snow Betsey is arrived from Bussorah, and the snow Essdabuc Capt Bailey having lost his passage to Mocha, every individual article in the eating way is very dear at Camp 600 Rupees was given with thanks for 1 doz. of Ginn, and an Elephant the property of a Capt. in Goddards Army bartered for a doz. of Madeira this actually is a fact- Col. Brown's Detachment of Europe-ans Mutinied on Account of their Wages, in so much, that they drew up on the Green, upon which a Battaltion of seapoys was immediately order'd, they all Laugh'd heartily on their hearing in sight and said one and all they might Fire & be damn'd, unless Mr. Hornby came personally, who they knew to be an Englishman, and his word to be depended upon, they wou'd be satisfied, the Governor consented and went and told them, he was extremely sorry there was no cash in the Company's Treasury, but he wou'd do all his endeavours, and borrow Money if possible and pay them accordingly upon which they were quite satisfied well pleased and gave him three chears — the same evening the Governor as is customary you know very well of his taking an Airing in his Chariot, the Soldiers muster'd about fifty in number watched him just as he step'd in the Charriot, took the Horses out, and dragged the Charriot themselves all through the Town, round the Apolla Gate, so came round the Baazar Gate and home. — The old fellow Will. Hornby sat very contented all the time as he knew it would be needless to desire them to leave of. To ****** the Author of the Letter dated from Cossypore. "Now by my Soul it makes me blush to know "My spirits could descend to such a foe, "Whatever cause the vengeance might provoke "It seems rank cowardice to give the stroke." S I R, YOUR Letter is almost too contemptible for notice. It is like bottled Country-Beer, which notwithstanding it's bouncing and foaming is but weak, windy, and frothy stuff — "Wit as thick as Tewksbury Mustard," might frame a better essay — such intolerable fustian — such false Allusions — such pitiful Allegories — such a desultory stile — such insipid Attempts to be witty — sure the Press never vomitted before. — Soberly and sadly Mr. ****** thou art a very dull Rogue — a most wretched juvenile scribler, and only qualified to pore over shreds and Remnants. — However, I will condescend to reply to you, lest you should like the fool, exult at your own folly, and plume yourself on an Imaginary Victory over Tent-pole Impromptu. — To dissect your Letter minutely would be committing an unjustifiable trespass on this entertaining Paper, and presenting to the Readers a Salmagondy of indelicate combustibles — Besides, you have discovered yourself to be so totally callous to reproof that my writing to you will probably answer no good Purpose — I shall therefore be as brief as possible — I only mean to tickle — CASTIGATOR has already stung you by the severest sarcasms, that wit and satire could jointly produce, — Where then ****** were the feelings of your heart as a professed Friend both to the Cyprian Goddess, and Tent-pole Impromptu, when you betrayed the secrets of the society of which you are a Member and called the blush to the Cheek of Beauty. — The recesses of Love are a kind of hallowed ground, on which the public Satirist ought never to tread. — That cruel part of your Letter was read with astonishment and horror, by every Person who knew you were the confidante of the Lady. For shame! For shame! Scorpion like you have stung yourself to death, and lost credit with your best Friends. Nature abhors, And drives thee out from society And commerce with mankind for breach of faith; Men live and prosper but in natural trust; A confidence of one another's truth, That thou hast violated. "The only attonement you can make for so gross and shameful a violation of the laws of honor and humanity is to ask the Ladie's pardon forthwith — let me advise you to throw by the pen lest you should be crushed to atoms consult your own tranquility — you are too weak and feeble to plead a bad cause. do not therefore provoke the moderation of your enemies. — This is a clear and transparent mirror. — Look steadily in to it, and desire your friend the ****** to peep over your shoulder. — for it is said that he furnished you with materials for your ingenious performance, and that you have of late made his pericranium your impenetrable secret Box. — The very idea of your choice has such an effect upon the muscles of my countenance that I cannot bring them into any tolerable decorum. Wonderfull sagacity! A most refined stroke of policy truly — in which you have out done your usual out-doings — Oh! the thought of it has put me into such a fit of laughter that I must drop the pen — But though I have laid down the Cestus I have not laid it by — Fresh acts of baseness and folly may awake me and make me rise into Anger. — new Monkey tricks excite a laugh — In the mean time Mr. Hicky you shall hear frequently from the dispassionate. MAN IN THE MOON. A D D R E S S. MR. HICKY most respectfully begs leave to acquaint his friends and the public, that many cruel and artful schemes has been laid and put in execution within the space of the last nine months in order if possible to put a total stop to the publication of the Original Bengal Gazette,, but Mr. Hicky thanks God and his friends, by whose assistance their various schemes have hitherto been rendered abortive. The last scheme that was laid was about a Month or two before his late unhappy confinement, and which can be best explained by the following anonymous letter which Mr. Hicky received in May last. Mr. HICKY, "Having always a respect and sincere regard for a Man who acts with a becoming spirit, and an utter abhorrence and contempt for the Man who would make use of low; mean cunning to ruin a man who never did him harm — It is therefore (to put you on your guard) I expose a

matter which might tend to your ruin, which is as follows.——your old acquaintance Sir Barney has formed a dark design and plan of getting your Workmen from you——has been negociating matters these some days, as I saw one of your Mens Letters Signed O'Brien, that he has got. He is to give this O'Brien one or 200 Rupees to effect the same He says he woul'd not wish for ever so much that he missed getting one of your Men whose abilities would have been of service to him in a tripple capacity——I hope this hint may be time enough to be of service to you when I get further intelligence, you may be sure you will hear from your friend. May 8th 1781. " My friends may suppose that the perusal of the above, letter gave rise to some very disagreeable apprehensions espicially when I found it strongly corroborated, with the late and present conduct of two of my people, yet notwithstanding, I bore it, with some share of fortitude for some time, with a determined resolution not to take any notice of the matter for a few days, and in the mean time to remark in what manner they conducted themselves. for several evenings the said O'Brien, and the other person aluded to in the conclusion of the letter had dress'd themselves, and went out, sometimes directing their course from the Radda Baazar down the narrow lane passing by the house of Mr. Litchfield and so on down behind the new Buildings, and at other times going into a common Public House, in the Radda Baazar kept by, a Man who is constantly employ'd by Mr. Messink in sevile Offices about the play house and perhaps some other very useful employment, from which nocturnal excursions, one of them would not Perhaps return before eleven or twelve o'Clock and some times not for the whole night,——at this Public House it seems the deep concerted plan was laid, and when the praliminaries were sufficiently settled and the plot ready for blowing up the mine;——O'Brien, addressed Mr. HICKY, one day in the following manner, I do not know Sir what you will do with that Man (meaning Tisdale) he says his Eyes have failed him ve y much and he thinks he is growing blind. Mr. Hicky looking the said O'Brien full in the face asked him if he really thought so, he made onse he really heard the man say so and he thought it was so, as the man did not do half so much work as he did the week before Mr. Hicky told the said O'Brien that he had seen, and knew too much of the world, to suffer any man to impose upon him in so grose a manner and that it was impossible that the working at that part of a business which did not afflict the eye, should make such an alteration in the Course of ten days having worked constantly at it for three months before without, and FREE, from the least symptom of any complaint of that kind; and that such schemes would not do, that he the said Mr. HICKY was acquinted with their plan of operation and that they had better for their own Credit to drop it,---this hint seemed to alarm O'Brien who said he hoped Hr HICKY did not think that he had any concern in the scheme Mr. H. very candidly informed him that he had very great reason to believe he had that he the said Mr. HICKY had at that moment a Letter in his pochet book in which his name was mentioned and that his past, and present conduct had much contributed to strengthen and support the subject matter of the said letter,— but as he never did, nor he hoped he never would condem any man unheard, he was willing and ready to listen to any thing he had to say in his own defence,——Observing to him at the same time that it was a very bad return in him to reward the man with in gratitude, (who had procured him his liberty out of the army, at a time he was not able to go thro the fatigues incedent and attendant on the Life of a Soldier; and to betray (the man to any party) from whom he drived his present support was a crime of a horrid Nature and that it would be still worse, to deny it. Mr. HICKY then gave orders that all his people should be call'd and that these two men might attend which being done Mr. H. took the Letter out of his pocket book, but before he had read it he put the following questions to O'Brien, have you held any correspondence, with or wrote to Mr. Messink, within this last month or five Weeks past. A O B. I have wrote to Mr. Messink. Q. What did you write to him abo't? A. I wrote to him for a 100 Rup's Q. What right had you to make a demand of that kind, or to that amount on Mr. Messink. A. I was informed that if I wanted 500 Rupees that Mr. Messink would let me have it directly. Q. Who informed you of it? A. A, man who I seen at the Public house in the Radda Baazar. The other Gentleman turned as pale as Death, and had not a word to plead in his defence. They went to work pretty well ashamed of their plan and Tisdale was immediately cured of his artificial blindness, and that very day he gave (by his work) a sufficient proof of it, and from which time until this present moment he has never pleaded his eyes,———But has constantly exclaimed, against and reprobated the owner of the public house for being the cause of all his late disgrace and wished he had never entered the said House.—This Tisdale promised to pay a proper attention to his business in future, but on the contrary, he has made use of every art, to provoke Mr, HICKY, by neglecting his work in hopes by that means to obtain his discharge. W H E R E A S. RICHARD TISDALE late a private Soldier in the Hon'ble Company's service at Madras, but now an Articled servant to Mr. HICKY Printer of the Original Bengal Gazette; has since the late unhappy confinement of the said Mr. HICKY, most shamefully, and dishonestly, neglected, and deserted the business that the said Mr. HICKY employed him for (and for which he the said Richard Tisdale has constantly received his Monthly Wages,) by going out every Morning as soon as he took his breakfast, and continuing out until one o'Clock, at which time he frequently came home to his Dinner and then went out as before, after which he seldom returned before Eleven or Twelve o'Clock at Night, when at such an hour he has been known to bring a common prostitute from the Baazar home to the Hause of the said Mr. HICKY, the said Richard Tisdale has also slept out several Nights returning in the Morning about seven o'Block much intoxecated in Liquor, and one Morning with a Case Knife the said Richard Tisdale did make an attempt to cut the Throat of one of Mr. HICKY's Workman, having held the said Knife close to the Throat, of the said person, and on Wednesday the eighth instant, the said Richard Tisdale was seen to go away from the House of the said Mr. HICKY in a clandestine manner with a bundle in his hands, and did not return until Wednesday last the 15th Instant, as Mr. HICKY has not seen the said Tisdale since his unhappy confinement nor can get him to come near him, to give an Account of himself relative to his said absense.—Mr. HICKY has great reason to think that the said Richard Tisdale has been at Work for some time past, for some person, or persons who has been base enough to employ him the said Tisdale, taking such advantage, of the already too much oppressed Mr. HICKY, knowing that he is confined and cannot look after his said Business or People as usual——Mr. HICKY therefore gives notice thro' the channel of his Paper, that he will prosecute to the utmost rigor of the Law, any Person, or Persons, that may hereafter Employ the said Richard Tisdale, or any of the said Mr, HICKY's Men, previous to the Expiration of their Articles with Mr. HICKY, as also those by whom he the Richard Tisdale has hitherto been employed, as soon as Mr. HICKY can find out who they are.

Continued from our Last, CHAP. IIId. Bad Effects of Fashion, and French Refinement. OUR Young Miss of Fashion—being now finely accomplished for the world—(though without any other Idea of Religion, but what has been the casual Result of saying the Catechism by rote—and now and then going to Church to mind every thing, but the service—) bids Adieu to School, or to her French—Governess—in order to enter on that endless Train of Amusements, for which she has long sighed, Routs, Balls, Masquerades, Operas, Plays, Ranelagh, & Vauxhall engross her whole attention,—She sees scarcely any thing but Grimace, Hears hardly any thing but trifling chitchat. Finds every Body flying from thought—and amused by Follies, hardly fit for Children. Sees nothing but Levity all round her—People grinning at nothing, like Ideots—for nothing can be said without a smile, and a Giggle—and those who can force it, with the best Grace—are the best bred. Eagerly on the watch for admiration, she is not a little mortified by observing, that for one Beau who pays any attention to her, at least twenty are Assiduous in their Court to the married Women, but she is comforted by observing, too, that her case is not singular—and that all the Unmarried are in the same situation, she is consoled by looking forward to the moment, when she may by Marriage, be entitled to the same crou'd of Followers, and this renders her less Solicitous about the Kind of Husband which may happen to be her Lot, since she finds that she can Pick and chuse afterwards whom she pleases to be her Attendant, and yet be just as well received, and as much caressed by respectable Characters, as if Her life had been irreproachable. She sees married Women ride out every Day with dissipated young Men—and no more Notice taken of it, than if it were consistant with either Decencey or safety—In the spring, what can be more Innocent than to be conducted by an admiring Attendant into a Nursery of sweets—to Indulge him with the Opportunity of culling Flowers for her breast—She frequently hears it wispered, that such a person is IN LOVE with Lady —— & never finding the manner of Expression, censured concludes it to have been proper and that nothing is easier than for the noble Passion of LOVE, to be felt by a Gentleman, for another Man's Wife.—Nay—she observes, too that the very Lady whom she had heard remark the “Love” of the admiring Man of Fashion for—his friends Wife—never fails to invite the Sighing follower to every party in which the object of his soul passion is to make One.—this may surprize her at first, perhaps—but it soon grows too familiar.—She observes that women of the first fashion make it a Rule—and that though it is impossible but that it must be remarked by others as well as by herself. yet those good natured, very convenient Ladies, are nevertheless treated with as much apparent Respect, and Regard, as if they were not so ready to assist in providing Employments for Doctors Commons. Unfounded in Virtue, herself—Ignorant of what is due to the female Character—and of the affront, the high Indignity which a Man offers to the Married Women whom he presumes to address with declarations, of his Attachments—or even to follow, with his Assiduities—and reconciled thus by daily observation how can we be surprised if she thinks Adultery a Peccadillo—and that if she can but avoid public detection, she is guilty of no offence? Thus prepared to make a good Wife, our young Lady of Fashion is probably addressed by some Peer, who wants her Fortune—and she joyfully accepts his hand, to obtain—not one Title—but two—the first, to a Coronet—the second, to take that full swing, the pleasure of which, in Idea she had so often anticipated—She thinks it would be very Gothic, as well as very inconsistent, to Imagine that Love in the smallest degree necessary before Marriage, which in six weeks after it, would be considered by every well bred person, as a proof of Rusticity, & shocking Manners, and it is really very immaterial what were the Motives that influenced them—since whether they loved each other, or not, the business most likely will terminate the same way at last—only in proportion to the degree of Love, it will be so much the longer delayed or sooner hastened. It is impossible that any love can withstand the lives, which good Breeding renders it incumbent in them to lead. Fashion requires that they should affect indifference, even though they should feel it not.—and at last—what only at first was affectation—becomes real—They are hardly ever together through the day—and if they should happen to be at the same party at night, they will blush to be seen near each other, though perhaps both, at first, wish it otherwise—Habit at length prevails—and the Company of neither becomes necessary for the others happiness—he fashionably flirts with other Women—and she ceases to be insensible to the attention of surrounding Admirers. At first perhaps she permits their assiduities—merely in compliance with that tyrant fashion, which she sees no one wish to disobey. But at last accustomed to every Man's Company, more than to her husbands some men either more artful, or more agreeable than the rest, discovers a weak side—adapts his manners to her ideas and under the cloak of friendship, mere friendship minds his steps, at a respectful distance—'till, by imperceptible advances, having at length attracted her pity—his business is soon accomplished. He proceeded on shure ground, from the moment that he was certain she perceived his attentions, and yet did not wish to avoid giving him opportunities of paying them, he could not wish for greater encouragement, than to see her smile on him with complacence, and converse without restraint—after he had given marks of his regard, and of his wish to be her attendant.
