H I C K Y ' S BENGAL GAZETTE; OR THE ORIGINAL Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None. 83 From Saturday August the 18th to Saturday August 25th 1781. [No. XXXI] 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. A LADY's Compliments to Mr. Hicky and begs his immediate insertion of the enclosed. HA! Ha! ha my dear Hicky, can any thing be half so rediculous! Oh! Oh! I shall expire. I am half dead. Whata thought! That insignificant thing of the Epicene gender, Pigmy Durgee, fancying the whole Town jealous of his Prowess and figure -- Ha! ha! ha! I shall absolutely expire.--- Ye Gods! it is enough to make old Saturn smile. --- What an Idea! The Haughty departed ICARUS uneasy at the Hoverings of Piglamy Durgey! nothing in my opinion is wanting to render the charge of this amourous Dung Fly compleatly contemptable but the following Card, which has a fair claim to your insertion Mr. Printer, and may not prove unamusing to the elegant societies abounding in Calcutta.-- I cannot help, as a woman, commenting upon the extreme unworthinefs of Durgey's discovery of the Secrets of the Arcanum, which until this moment, myself and the Town, were ignorant of.--but as I expect nothing manly or upright from this thing. I shall for the present for bear making any further remarks on such a piece of unparallelled meaness and Treachery. TABITHA TICKLE. A CARD Tabitha Tickle presents her Compliments to Scape-Goat Durgee, is sorry his skittish Vanity, should so far o'er-leap the bounds of modesty and common sense as to make him imagine that his hoverings or Flutterings could possibly occasion a moments resentment in any persons breast. -- Poor Scape-goat properly observes in his Letter from Cossipore that he is, an innocent victim but it must be told that it is only the Victim of its own frivolous puppyisms and inordinate self conceit.-- Most unmercifully indeed has Castigator handled him, as scape-Goat pathetically observes; but not more so than his unsufferable Vanity deserves. Can there be a crueler insult offered to the Cyphrian Goddess, than that such an half-formed Embryo, as Durgee, and such an Owl as the ******* Euxey should be even permitted to aproach the sunshine of her Inspiring Beauty.--- Tabitha Tickle takes her leave of scape-Goat Durgee with a Poetical Impromtu, which is now so much the Ton. When nature Durgee's clay was blending Not knowing what the thing would end in Whether a Female or a male A Pin dropt in and turned the Scale. Mr. PRINTER. YOUR Ingenious Cossipore Correspondent having omitted to fix any signature at the end of his Letter, I beg leave to supply his defect by offering such as I humbly Conceive will best answer the purpose of properly describing his exact drift and meaning--namely-- TREACHERY and DECEIT. The Fox Mr. HICKY, you know is traced out by his stinking Tail, and scurilous Writers may be found out by the peculiarity of their diction who then do you think is the Author of that Vile production,--which is much fitter for the executioners lash than the critics!--Why to save you the trouble of guessing I will tell you A poor Durgey who in taking measure of some of his best Customers came to the knowledge of a few of their secrets and has been so unprincipled as to publish them to the World,--Indeed it is impossible to read his last Letter without horror--The degree of rancour, spleen, envy and falsehood that pervades the whole of it could only be Conceived by a Durgey What poetic fiction only had--penned for the breast of a cruel African he has realized and transcribed from his own-- In the language of ZANGA, "He forged the Letter.--He despoiled the picture-- He hated and despised." Your IMPARTIAL To YOUNG SLY BOOTS. I Am astonished that so good a Poet as you, in the Bengal Gazette proved your self to be, should have so little of the distinguishing faculty as to suppose IDEA GEORGE, the Author of those entertaining, and well penned productions, which have so terribly galled the Community.---In my humble Opinion, a person may be known by his style almost as well as by his Features. Who but must laugh if such a Man there be! Who really thinks that TITUS should be he! NO DUPE. Extract of News from a Europe paper dated January 20th 1781. BY accounts from he East indiamen come into Crookhaven Bay, we are informed that one of the ships has on Board the Son of the Raja of Tanjour who comes over to exhibit complaints against some of the Company s Servants, for the corrupt Conduct th y have persued, in regard to his fathers property, and throws a new light on the infern l projects pursued, in regard of Lord Pigot's Death. By the same accounts we are told, that the East Indiamen were informed of the intended Hostilities against the Dutch, before they had reached the Cape of Good Hope, and that the general belief was, that our Company's forces had received sufficient notice of it. On the happiness of not fore-knowing what may befall us WISELY hath fate to man denied That all his wants should be sup, l ed, Could he his every wish enjoy, Fruition would the end destroy. Of wealth, of state of power possest; Disgust would seize the sated breast, The mind a scene of tumult made, Would sicken at the sad parade. Then learn content whate'er your lot, Improve the blessing's you have got; Let reason---virtue---wish you preside, So shall your wants be all supply'd. ANECDOTE. IN the Year 1664 5 the English and Dutch covered the Seas with more than 300 Ships of War, at which time Louis the XIVth had only 15 or 16 small Vessels in the Mediterranian to keep the Corsairs in order, and when the Dutch urged him to join his Fleet to theirs, he could from the Harbour of Brest furnish them with only one Vessel, and that a Fire ship. -- What a Change! From the St JAMES's CHRONICLE. S I R, AS the late Mr. Garick's Works are said to be collecting for Publication, it may be useful to the Editor, and not disagreeable to your Readers, to be reminded of the following Lines, which appeared in your Poet's Corner, March 6, 1761. Sent to a Nobleman, who asked Mr. Garrick if he did not intend being in Parliament. MORE than content with what my

Labours gain, Of publick Favour though a little Vain; Yet not so vain my mind, so madly bent, To wish to play the fool in Parliament; In each dramatick Unity to err, Mistaking Time, and Place, and Character! Were it my Fate to quit the mimick Art, I'd strut and fret no more in any part; No more in Publick Scenes would I engage Or wear the Cap and Mask on any Stage. From the St. James's CHRONICLE. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Extract of a letter from Lord Mulgrave, Capt. of the Courageux, to Mr. Stephens, dated Spithead, 8th Jany, 1781. I Arrived here this morning, with La Minerve, French frigate of 32 guns, and 316 men, taken by the Courageux, in company with the Valiant, on the 4th of this month, about three in the afternoon, Ushant bearing East, distant 14 leagues. She had sailed from Brest on the 3d, with La Fine, L'Aigrette, and La, Diligente, to cruize for a fortnight off Scilly. The Chevalier de Grimouard who commanded her did, not strike till she had been for about an hour under the fire of our broadside, within musquet shot. From the ships being so near each other, the few shot fired by the frigate in the course of that time necessarily took place, by which the Courageux had 10 men killed, and 7 wounded. The fore-mast, mizen-mast, and bowsprit, are damaged. On board La Minerve, Mons. Andrieu, one of the Lieutenants, and 49 men, were killed, and 25 wounded, amongst whom it is with great concern that I mention the Chevalier Grimouard and his nephew Mons. Nossay, both I fear very dangerously. All her masts were rendered unserviceable, and the Hull much damaged. The Valiant parted from us in chase of one of the other frigates. The disabled situation of the prize, made it absolutely necessary to tow her into port. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Extract of a Letter from Mount's Bay Dec. 30th. 1780. "Nothing can equal the rage of privateering in this bay; every boat that can swim is employed. The Wilful-Murder, of one swivel gun, rowed out last Wednesday, and the same day took a Dutch vessel, laden with fruit, cinnamon, &c. The Sudden Death went out last Thursday; both these were only row-boats. Three ships from Smyrna are brought, in chiefly laden with silk. Upwards of 100,000l. of Dutch properties has been brought into this bay since last Monday." An evening paper says early in October last in consequence of official information, two advice boats were dispatched from England for Madras and Calcutta, with an account that a rupture with Holland was inevitable, One of these vessels was ordered to stand off in a western course and the other right southward, in order to escape the enemy. It is said, that these vessels carried out peremptory orders to proclaim war against the Dutch in the East Indies, on the first of April: so that in future, neither the home-ward nor outward bound ships will put into the Cape of Good Hope, instead of which, the island of Madagascar is fixed on as a resting or refreshing place between S. Helena, and the Indies. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Extract of a letter from Rye, Jan 7th 1781. "The inhabitants of this town have fitted out a cutter of eight guns, four-pounders, and 30 men, which sailed from hence on the 2d inst. and has sent in here two Dutch doggers. She was in pursuit of another when the prize came away. Though these last are but doggers, their cargoes are very valuable, one of them being worth 1000l. the other 1500l." CALCUTTA. Extracts from a private letter 28th August. A MOOR GRAB Snow from the Maldavie Islands with Cowries bound here saw off Point de Gall 25 sail of English Ships last full Moon, which was about the 19th or 20th of July last, by their Steering he says they must be bound to Madras.—–––– Should the above Fleet be Commodore Johnson's we have great reason to think he has taken the Cape by his Fleet being reduced from 47 to 25, or that he has sent the remaining part of them to Batavia. Captain Dixon in the snow Fortune is arrived safe at Corringa from Batavia, she left it the 22d June, They had no accounts of War at Batavia during the time that Captain Dixon remained at that Port, and previous to his departure a Dutch Ship arrived there who left Holland in Oct. last. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– To Mr. HICKY. IMPROMPTUS are now as much in vogue as your paper, and as fashionable things will naturally unite, let the following description of two entertainments that have occurred this Week find a place in your much admired Gazette. On Monday Night Rajah Nobkissen gave a Notch and Magnificent Entertainment to several persons of distinction in commemoration of Miss Wrangham's birth-day.—––As the Ladies arrived, they were conducted by the Rajah through a grand suite of apartments into the ZENANA.––—where they were amused until the singing began---which was so mellifluous as to give every face a smile of approbation.—––The surprising agility of one of the Male Dancers occasioned loud acclamations of applause.—––The principal Female Singer called the Nymphs and Swains to celebrate the festivity of the day and spoke a few complimentary lines suitable to the occasion.—––After supper there was a Ball.––—which was opened by Mr. Livius and Miss Wrangham---who were dressed in the Characters of Appollo and Daphene.—––when the minuets were ended, Country Dances struck up, and continued till past three in the Morning.––—when the Company departed highly pleased with the elegant Festival—––As the Rajah was attending Miss Wrangham to her Carriage, he thanked her in very polite terms for having illuminated his house with her bright appearance. On the Tuesday following Buxey ****** gave a Bal pare to the society, well known by the name of the LITTLE COMMUNITY.—––Masks and Fancy dresses were admitted—––Their high Patroness appeared in the Character of a Nun which she sustained with great propriety of manners. She danced the minuet D'Lacour with Counsellor Feeble—who represented the Monkey that had seen the World. COCKING JACK was in the Character of BILLY WHIFFLE----gay as a Butter-fly, and as fluttering as that mealy winged inhabitant of the Air. Its Coat, Waistcoat, and Breeches, were Pink Sattin, Embroidered with Silver---Stockings were flesh coloured Silk, and black Sattin shoes, with fine Stone Buckles, JACK PERRANNA KILLA was in the Character of MARPLOT.—––The severest and most satirical things that were uttered were probably those by this Mask. On his observing the NUN run about the Room, as if she wanted something, he asked her—––If she hunted for a Husband, adding, this is the wrong Shop, to find one---for believe me Ma'am I have convinced the Community that there is no sweetness in Matrimony after the Honey Moon---" Some little time after, this WAG seeing the Monkey engage Her whole attention, addressed Her thus, Give not to that fopish-ape all those charms, He'll fall a-sleep within your Velvet arms: Leave the Flimsy Thing,---for 'tis all a farce With such a wefand face and such a habit -. IDEA GEORGE intended to have made his appearance in the Character of the Man in the Almanack--who is pictured with Darts all over his body, but his Wounds were not sufficiently cicatrized to admit of his going into Company - -Buxey ****** was in the Character of Tom-fool- - - -which he supported inimitably well

The facetious Capt. S——y was the manager, and conductor on this occasion, and to whose taste, skill, and ability, the greatest encomiums are due,---It is said he will be chosen a Member of the Club as a reward for the satisfaction he afforded. MUNGO. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– To Mr. HICKY SIR, I REQUEST you will be so kind as to infert, this in your next paper. if you think it worthy of a place as it may be of use to Officers hereafter.—Amongst the other plans for raising money it appears that it's time to fall on some method of raising some for the army out of the provinces, or probable some bad consequences may proceed, for want of even common necessaries of life which at present we are destitute off (and as the proverb justly observes starving in the midst of plenty) we daily hear of the Lucknow & of the Treasury being full; while we are going on four months in arrears and some Officers lately joined seven months. is the Treasury kept full while we are starving until the arrival of a certain great Man there; who no doubt after helping himself will order us some; some of us think its our pay-masters fault, who is with Col. Muir's detatchment (and talks of going home the first convenient opportunity) its well known Mr. S——y has drawn from Mr. Middleton at Lucknow one lack and twenty five thousand Rupees which I fear is lost in a Storm, this Money if it had been made use of for the purpose it was drawn for, we, should not have been in arrears; we wish this point was cleared up much, for sure poor Jack Company is not in that distress, which so many glaring Contracts of three four and five Lacks per. Annum (not mentioning colonels Elephants infamous boat contract that so many remonstrances meet with no Justice in complaint of bad Boats nor Charley Bullocks Contract supposed to be worth 40 Lacks of Rupees to the person Charley sold it, too) calls aloud for more which is readily granted, while us poor Lobsters send down our bills of arrears to the Commissary Gen. to be signed, it seldom suits him to looke at them a Month after they arrive in Calcutta then signs with that cursed red Ink disallowed and will in six months after pass the very same bills allowed. Sure this can't be the reason, our protectors confer their interests on him and his family, or perhaps he may be in a Contract with our Pay-masters for not signing the bills at first until they have made sufficient intrest by our Money. Agreeable to the Gen. Orders; I sent to a Banker here to borrow money to make up my Tent and get my Camp equipage, ready as we expect to march daily (and we are not allowed any thing for making up our Tents at present) the Bankers answer was if master will give his bond for the sum, and pay the Baazar interest of one anna in the Ruppee per month, could I like wise positively declare I would pay him before we marched, which I could not satisfy him in. Query if I can succeed with any other Banker who insists on the interest. without the time limitted by word an honor, the sum for the use above mentioned; if the Contractor will not be ordered to furnish us with Tents and Camp Equipage in that case we lose both principal and Interest. N. B. Please infert these underneath. One who goes out to exercise three times a week. “ The Wretch ******** whom pilfered pastorals renown By writing disallowed on our bills for half a crown Just writes to make his barriness appear Then strains from hard bound brains six lines a year, In sense oft wanting tho’ he lives by T—— Steals much spends little, yet has nothing left He says; strange event whom Gold incites To blood and quarrels silver unites ******** says the coarsest stuff Will serve the Lobsters well enough.

In points of nicety and doubt, he will advance with modesty and candour, every argument that his learning and knowledge suggest to him in favour of his Client; but he will not assert what he knows to be false, he will not misstate facts, he will not (according to the Law phrase) cook up his pleadings with Scurility, scandel, prolixity, and impertinence; he will not for his own lucrative, or to gratify his own malice, or to force the adversary party into an unreasonable composition, be a propagator of anderhand defamation, and insidious calumny, or a promoter of discord, haterd, and animosity between neighbours, friends, and the nearest relations, and he will in all his practice keep clear of the shameful crimes of barretry, champerty, and maintenance. He will not for the sake of appearing with a large bundle of papers, and making an Ostentatious parade of great business, or to feed his own avarice, multiply his pleadings with useless charges and invectives which he knows in the end must be hurtful to his client. He will endeavour rather to cool than inflame the passions of the parties, and he will never be averse to the recommending peace upon reasonable and equitable terms, as his experience and observation will convince him of the fallibility of the ablest men’s opinions in matters of debt and difficulty. In short to be a good Lawyer, he must, be, not only be a man of extensive knowledge and deep learning, but what is far more enssential, he must be a man of honour, of truth, and of the strictest virtue; or rather he must be born with a beneficent and humane heart. Such, there is the greatest reason to believe. ———————————————————— EDUCATION HENRY COWEN lately arrived from England takes this Opportunity of informing his Friends and the Public, that He has taken Mrs. Griffithe’s Garden House at Bread & Cheese Bungalow or Boytacannah where he proposes opening on the first of September next an ACADEMY & BOARDING SCHOOL for teaching Grammatically Young Gentlemen the English, Latin, French, and Italian Languages also Writing, Accompts, Geography, &c. according to the Methods adopted by the most eminent Masters in Europe.

For further particulars he begs leave to refer them to Messrs. Killican and Thornhill. The terms for Board and education are (viz) underten years of age 40 Sicca Rupees per. Month, and all above ten 50. ———————————————————— ALL PERSONS HAVING any claims, or demands on the Estate of James Dumoulin deceased are desired to send in their accounts to Mr. George Arnold Roote of Calcutta, or Mr. Edward Ephraim Pote of Rungpore the Executors of the said James Dumoulin deceased and such persons as are endebted to the said Estate are Requested to pay what they so owe to either of the said Executors as soon as they possible can.

Banco’s letter is in the same predicament.

Continued from our Last. HE knows, that if she be not an ideot, she must be sensible that he can have but one view, and that that view cannot be honourable. A married Women, therefore, cannot be seduced -- because from the first instant that she perceives a Man's Approaches (and Women are too quick sighted in such affairs, to be believed should they pretend Blindness) She knows that Adultery is his object, since he can have no other -- and that unless she means to inform him, (in Language not to be misunderstood) that she is not shocked at the Idea of it, she should shun him, as she would a Pestilence. -- This is the Time, to Fly -- for after this, the same behaviour that is due to a common Acquaintance -- even a smile -- becomes, to him Encouragement. This is the moment that affronted virtue should put on its native dignity -- for after this, It is too late, Chastity, cannot understand -- and not resent. A smile then says -- "I will" Hear Female virtue must be wrecked, unless this Rock be flown from. If a Woman be simple enough to imagine that a Man would be at the trouble of attending her and of insinuating himself into her regard (throwing away his Time) from platonick Friendship -- and a cold admiration of her Charms, without any criminal desire to render them subservient to his L--t -- she has a large share of vanity -- and a very contemptible Understanding, or if she flatters herself, that she can play with Fire, without burning her Fingers, she will infallibly fall a victim to her folly -- and like the poor Moth which gayly flutters its few circles around the Candle, unhurt -- she will at last as blindly share it's Fate. Unhappily for this Country, French Refinement has varnished crimes, so as to conceal their Deformity, "Gallantry," is much too gentle a Term for Adultery, we soften away offences so as to hide their colour. If Women who yet are virtuous, heard Dutchesses, Marchionesses, Countesses, &c. branded with the scandalous Name they deserve, on swerving from virtue -- shocked at the Name of Wh--e their Minds wou'd shrink with Disgust from the very Idea of deserving it. And since Women here thus Daily of the Act, that merits it -- why should that act be softened to their Ear, by any term that does not shock it? -- The more the Name shocks the better because the word which shocks, it is the very Reason, why a virtuous Woman should Hear it given to an Adultress, can any Term be too opprobrious for the Women of Fashion, who by defiling the Marriage Bed, proves herself capable of committing any crime to which she can be prompted by Passion? -- if any human Tie -- any sense of duty to GOD, or Man -- any shame for the present -- or fear for the future, had been capable of operating on her Mind -- she would not have dared to do an act for which perpetual Infamy is the Reward. -- A mind, thus callous to every feeling that can restrain -- is equal to any villainy to which it can be tempted. The moment she gave up virtue, she put all her faculties under the directions of the Man who debauched her -- for he who had influence to make her huld the World -- every law, and censure, divine and human at defiance -- might make her rob -- Murder do any thing -- if he were villian enough to exert himself to effect it, he has already led her to do her utmost, like a thief, to defraud her husbands releations of that rank and property, of which her spurious Issue may rob them, he has already led her to prove herself destitute of every principle that can dignify the sex -- incapable of being restrained by any tie that should influence the Heart. After such a proof -- after such a sacrifice. -- if she does not proceed on, to other crimes it can only be owing to her paramours not having a disposition that can require it. It is this that renders the Crime of Adultery, so particularly henious in Women. when a married Man commits it, he throws out no defiance to the world for the world think too lightly of the offence He makes no sacrafice of Character. A man cannot sink to a level with an adultress, till he has forsaken his Post in Battle. Courage is the male point of honour Chastity the female. By a Mans commiting Adultery he runs no risk of defrauding his younger Brothers, and relations of that rank, or fortune, to which in Failure of his having issue, they would have a right. The Women. risks every thing, gives up every thing, she therefore, whose Appetite, and passions are so much her Mistress, as to force her thus to risk. -- thus to give up, every thing to satisfy her l--t proves herself ready to do any thing, to which she can be prompted by her passions. It is for this Reason, that "without Chastity, Beauty "is unlovely," and Birth, contempible. Our Women of Fashion should be told, that when they swerve from Virtue, the the Higher they have been Raised by birth, the lower they sink beneath the Level of Strand Strumpets, in-as-much as the sacrifice (which the Wretches of the streets made, on diveating from virtue,) was less valuable -- they in proportion proved themselves the less abandoned. The good Breeding, now in fashion, is ruining us by its procuring from people of distinguished Worth, and honour -- the same apparent Regard and Attention, to profligate Characters that are paid to those whose levies are unexceptionable. -- the virtuous, and vicious. -- The respectable. and abandoned are put on a level, what an encouragement to bad Characters! what a Discouragement to the good! -- Is no distinction due to merit? No? -- How can we wonder that public and private virtue are turned out of Doors? We have many Symptoms of a state running headlong to destruction. The adventitious gifts of Fortune, are alone regarded, and, thus REPUTATION is at NO PRICE. To be continued. To be SOLD.
