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 September the 1st. to Saturday September 8th 1781. [No. XXXIII] 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. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– EMPLOYMENT WANTED. BY a Young Man lately arrived from Europe, and would be glad to engage as a writer to any Gentleman in or out of Calcutta, he can if required keep private accounts, writes a good hand and can be well recommended. N. B. The above person would be desirous to engage by the Year. A line directed to the Printer hereof for F. M. shall be duly attended to. August, 28th –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WANTED. BY a Gentleman now in Calcutta, three very handsome AFRICAN LADIES of the true sable hue, (by the Vulgar) commonly called Coffriesses. They must not be younger than fourteen years each Nor Older than twenty, or twenty five. They must be well grown Girls of their Age. Strait Limbed, and strait Eyed. And have a rational use of all their faculties. The better if a little squeamish. But beware of spot or blemish. They will be joined in the holy banes of Wedlock, to three Gentlemen of their own Colour, Cast, and Country. A Dower is not Expected with them, Nor will there be any Jointure settled on them. As the Master of those African Gentlemen would not wish to have them disappointed, he hopes no Ladies will apply, but those who are really, and truly spinsters, for it would be a very disagreeable circumstance to have their passions wound up to the highest pitch of wild desire; and then to have the Banes forbidden in right of a prior claim.—No matter whether by a Mogul from the East, or a Hottentot from the West.—For in either circumstance it would be equally distressing. * N. B. Any person that has got such Ladies to dispose off, let them apply to the Clerk of the Printing Office, and they will be treated with. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– To Mr. HICKY. SIR The two accompanying Letters I have had by me sometime, I took their exact Copies in every word of the Originals in 1776, as they contain something Original! & laughable they are much at your Service, should you think them worthy a place in your universally allowed entertaining Gazette. From on Bord the ship Royal Duke December 27th 1776. I was going to say dear Taylor. BUT being taken a back by your Bill, hauled in the lee Braes of my tongue and stood the other way, so must tell you that I'll sooner be damned than pay you a single Cowrie. I am coming to Calcutta with the first fair Wind, so if you think proper to lay an embargo on my Hull and Rigging you may, but the cause must be first tried by a Court of Admiralty. I have had the Misfortune to stave three of my Timbers in, but the shipwright of bones gave me no other assistance than telling me it was bad enough to be sure, but time and the growing of other Timbers would splice them again. I hope to be d——d if it was possible if I would not sooner go a Cruize without Lead Compa's or Quadrant, than go to England with you, you must enquire the rest. Your's for ever .D excuse the badness of the writing for I am very much hurried. If you are not d——bly busy I should be glad you would rigg a line or two and send me by old Anderson and let me know the Bearings and distance of Calcutta likewise how the times go with yourself, As for me my Timbers being cracked makes the Trim of my body very uneasy. I am confused amongst Water Casks, Dry Provisions, English Brandy, Tallow Candles, Gunpowder, &c. &c. so do you see I hope to be cursed if I have one moment of time and if you do not send me a line or two I shall wish you d——d. P. E. D. Royal Duke Jan. the 6th 1777. Dear MESSMEAT. I Received yours by L. Anderson and D——n my E——s if the topping lifts of my Heart was not strained with Joy, to hear that you had steered clear of all Fire ships. Don't think Jamey tho' I heve been stranded and my timbers d——n—y strained, that I am affraid to come to Calcutta, no as soon as the embargo is taken off, which will be in ten days or there abouts, I shall get up my Anchor and make what sail I can. But avast—avast D——n yonr L——r I forgot to tell you, W—d has turned a Tylor, Ruisle by the help of the Cobler of Bones, can walk——As for me D——n my E——s if I e'nt Hobbling o ly a little tender in the Larboard side my Starboard Gambo a little shattered however I think I shall be able with little Repairs to receive your broadside.—Adieu, Adieu, yours while my eye Balls wag. P——D——g P. S. Damn your top Gallant Yards your boom, Mizen Sheet &c. I'll lay you along side never fear, as soon as I arrive and then for your broadside an I be d——d to you, I wont flinch, and if you do, may the Lanyards of your heart crook &c. P. E. D. So so the Laird has got a birth i am glad of it, tho' between you and I believe it to be a d——d.——I have had three or four spells before I could finish this log but at last getting a fair wind steeres down Lazaretta Passage and passing through Gulph Gun room has had time enough to assure your Midshipmanship, I am with the utmost Respect. Your most devoted most obedient Humble Servant, Peter D——, Gunners Mate deputy Steward &c –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Mr. HICKY I request your insertion of the following curious Dialogue. From your constant correspondent. MINGO. ON Saturday last P—. D—. was observed to walk backwards and forwards in his Hall in a moped and melancholy condition, muttering and murmering to himself—insomuch that his Servants were greatly alarmed for his safety; fearing a frensy had seized his brain.—His head-bearer declares he believes his poor Master has been besides himself—for the last fortnight; as he has often heard him rave in the middle of the Night in a most shocking manner, crying aloud d——n Tent pole Impromptu. d——n the P.—, for they have turned my brain.—When he comes a little to himself, he will exclaim.—Oh! that I had been timely wise, and had never fallen in love with a capricious unfeeling beauty.

What had I to do with such a Woman. Had I stuck to my Work-board I might have done very well—but alas! my vanity misled me—I shall never be myself again.—During one of these Soliloquies his friend, The Buxey came in, and the following Dialogue immediately insued. D—— —Ah! friend are you there? B—— —For GOD's sake Durgee what's the matter? What has brought you to this? D——.—The Devil and Tent-pole Impromptu——Have you not read the Papers to day, and are we not ruined? B——.—Oh! my dear Durgee, compose yourself—all may yet be well—Impromptu is a generous, good natured fellow, and may be brought to forgive what has pass'd. D——.—No, that's impossible—— The attack I made on him, in that ill judged Letter from Cossy-pore, is of too bad a nature to be forgiven—Alas! thou knowest not what I feel, can'st thou recall departed h—––r, alleviate the pangs of conscious guilt, and restore peace & virtue to the guilty mind? B——.—Upon my soul Durgee, I am shocked to see you in this wretched condition; and if you would set your head to work with mine, I think something might be thought of to carry us through this unlucky business. D——.—Set my head to work with your's, do not you think I have Abilities to take my own part. B——.—Softly my dear DURGEE, I beg pardon, No one has a better opinion of your head than myself——I am sure I have known many instances of your ingenuity particularly those you have evinced in bringing the Inkle-Weavers through many dirty Jobs, that the Devil himself would be ashamed of. D——.—Yes, I have repeatedly brought them through with a vengeance.——What have I not done for TESTY the Head weaver, have not I had all his dirty work on my hands, and succeeded in all. B——.—Why it must be allowed you know how to blacken as well as any body DURGEE, white-wash and black-ball is the present Calcutta system. D——.—But stop——this is rambling from the main question, when did you see Tent-pole Impromptu, and do you think there is a possibility of making my peace with him. B——.—I saw him yesterday, and make no doubt but things can be easily made up through the friendly mediation of Marplot. To be Continued. MADRAS.

AT five o'Clock in the Morning, the Army marched from Porto Novo in two lines, the first commanded by Sir H. Munro, the second by General Stewart. Between 8, and 9, a partial Cannonade began, which continued on both

sides till 11, when it became general till 4 in the Afternoon.—The steadiness of our Troops, in which the Sepoys seemed to vie with the Europeans, has reflected the greatest honour upon them. The first line was principally exposed, as they were ordered to move on to the fire of the Enemy, which was performed for upwards of 1200 Yards by the slow step, with shouldered Arms, Colours flying, and Drums beating the Grenadiers March—this had such an effect on Hyder's Infantry, that they gave our line one fire de joye, alias, one running fire, and took leave, which as soon as Hyder observed, he ordered his Cannon to be drawn off, under cover of his Horse, which was to amuse us by making a charge.—This was performed by Monsr. Lally who led on the Cavalry headed by the French Hussars with astonishing Intripidity. This Partisan made several Charges, on both lines, but was obliged to submit to our superior discipline, and leave us at last in quite possession of the Field of Battle, the utmost that ever can be expected of an Army unsupported by a sufficient Body of Horse, to exterminate, or ruin a retreating enemy.— Our loss is one Officer killed (Lieut. Baillie) seven wounded, and about 400 Men killed and wounded.—On the side of the Enemy, Mair Saib killed—Monsr. Lally and Mahomet Ally wounded, and their loss in general very considerable. It is said Hyder had in the Field 50 p's. of Ordnance, 18000 Horse, and 12000 Infantry. Our force 60 peices of Cannon, and from 8 to 9000 Men.—During the hottest part of the Cannonade, a Piper in the 73d. Struck up Caganathee, which pleased SIR EYRE, so exceedingly that he promised him on the spot a pair of Silver Pipes. The Army arrived at Cuddalore the 5th Inst. & it is rumoured that Hyder has moved to the Southward. Orders were dispatched this Morning for Col. Pearse to move with his detachment from Nellore to Madras. Extract of a Letter from an Officer belonging to the Bengal Establishment Serving under General Coote Dated Camp at the mount 10th August 1781. “Col. Pearses Detachment joined SIR EYRE COOTE, and the Grand Army, on the 3d. Inst. at polycat.— Tippoo Sahib was waiting for them with a large Army between Nellore and Madras, but they gave him the Slip by quitting the high Road, stricking towards the Sea, and Marching over Polycat Island which is a Route no Army ever took, they marched four Days in a deep heavy Sand, and had scarcely any Provinder for the Cattle, the want of which they were at last so much exhausted, that it was with the greatest difficulty they got on.—The Sepoys behaved exceedingly well in assisting to drag the Guns over swamps on the Island,— had we had two days more to have marched over such a Sand, we must inevitably have lost all our Cattle.” “YOU may recollect that the common Topic in Bengal was when we left it, that General Munro was detested by the Army, and that if any thing happened to GEN. SIR EYRE COOTE, the Officers would refuse serving under Munro as Commander in Chief.” “I assure you it is all false Munro “is exceedingly respected, and esteemed “in the Army, and SIR EYRE COOTE “attributes his last victory principally “to his good advice.” CALCUTTA. THE following news has been industriously circulated throughout Calcutta for several days past. That 2 Battalions of sepoys had been sent in pursuit of Chyte Sing in order to take him prisoner and that they were all cut to pieces except 50 Sepoys and 3 Officers. But we are happy in having the pleasure to inform the Public, that the above News wants confirmation; and that the following account has been received since. Extracts of News from Beneras dated 21st August 1781. ON the 21st. of last Month Rajah Chyte Sing with a large body of Troops returned to his Gardens at Benaras, having recovered himself from the general confusion occasioned by the late melancholly affair which attended his Escape from the Arrest of the Governor General.—He ordered several Parties to surround the Town to prevent the Governor's Escape, but Mr. HASTINGS receiving timely Intelligence of it, set off about eleven o'Clock at night accompanied by all the other English Gentlemen there and three Companies of Sepoys.—They marched on Foot the whole way, and arrived without any obstruction at Chunar about five o'Clock in the Morning. The Governor immediately on his reaching Chunar detached Captain Miaffree with two Battalions, of sepoys one Company of the Chaseurs and a party of Artillery against Chyte Sing, who was opposed by the enemy very near Chunar; and after a very warm and desperate Engagement, our Troops were obliged to retreat to Chunar, with the loss of Captain Miaffree and four other english Officers thirty of the Chaseurs and about two hundred Sepoys. The Governor it is said has lost all his Budgerows Boats Baggage and papers of Consequence and all his servants were put to the sword.—How this unfortunate affair will end and what effect it will have on the conduct of the other Country Powers time can only determine. GEN. SIR EYRE COOTE marched from the Mount, the 16th of last Month with an Army of about fourteen Thousand effective Men against Arcot where Hyder has strongly Fortified himself. By different Accounts —— The Fortescue and Valentine Indiamen arrived at Madras the 19th of August, in the latter of which came Passenger John Mac Pherson Esq; a Member of the Supreme council, who is now daily expected in the River.

Acknowledgements to Correspondents. THE Editor begs leave to inform the Author of the Letter signed Spectator that one of the reasons which he has to assign for not inserting that Letter long before this, is (that he is not satisfied that a CERTAIN PLACE ALLUDED TO is quite empty,—His next reason is that he thinks He would act with more propriety by inserting that letter when a Certain person returns to Calcutta, than to do it during his absence, as the former might be deem'd Cowardly if the Author will Satisfy the Editor by informing him who he is, and that the place aluded to is really, and truly, quite empty, he now gives him his word and Honour that he will never make use of his name without his Liberty for that purpose and that he is willing to publish every thing that ought to be published for the Good of his Country, and the benefit of his fellow Citizens, the Letter has been composed this fortnight past, Verita's, Poetry is received,

Continued from our Last. IT will be said by the Friends of the male Practice, that "this is not fit to "be read by modest Women.." They have nothing else to say. It is their dernier Resort. Unable to defend their Practice, they have nothing for it, but, if possible, to prevent, these Objections being attended to. Those Gentlemen and Ladies, whose superabundant Modesty may lead them to think this, unfit to be read by a modest Woman in he Closet—(only because it endeavours to paint such a Picture of the Practice, as may induce her to resolve not to adopt it) should recollect that the Features of the original must be distorted, indeed—if only a faint Copy be thus disgusting.— Their great Regard for Modesty, it seems, would lead them to suffer a virtuous young Woman to precipitate herself into the most immodest indelicate, & dangerous Practice—through ignorance of the violations to which she must submit and the danger she may run—rather than give her the necessary Information of both, in the most decent terms by which she can be convinced of her Error, and saved from certain Pollution! --- If a modest Woman thinks a Man Midwife more safe than a Woman---how can she be convinced of her Error, if no one points out the Dangers attending their Practice! If we point out the Dangers attending their practice, how is it possible to avoid being explicit on those Heads in which the danger consists? If a modest Woman intends to employ a Man-Midwife, because she is ignorant of the gross violations that ensue—how can she be dissuaded from her Purpose, if no one places those violations in a striking light? We have no alternative, but either to point out the Dangers—and the Violations in Colours that are likely to make an Impression—or fail in the Purpose for which we write?—This book therefore, so far from being improper for modest Women, is particularly necessary for their perusal—unless Parents and Husbands would rather wish their Wives and Daughters to BE actually polluted, (by the most immodest Liberties and Familiarities of which Imagination can form an idea—) than have those Wives and Daughters dissuaded from employing a Man-Midwife, by being shewn how unnecessary he is—how much less safe than a Woman—and how repugnant his Practice, is, to Modesty. If a Lady—by having inadvertently strayed into a too retired Spot, were on the Brink of being carried away by Men, who intended to Defile her the Moment she was in their Power - - - and if a Gentleman, who happened to be bathing not far off, flew instantly to her Assistance, and by that means rescued her from the impending Danger.—would that Lady's Husband or Father, rather wish that his Wife or daughter, had been actually polluted by her Assaulters—than saved from that Pollution by that Gentleman, merely because he had not waited till he had put on those Cloaths, which would have delayed him too long to have been in Time to rescue her?—I shall put on every Garment that the Exigency of the Moment will permit—but I will not wait for such covering, as would render my Effort useless.
