HICKY's BENGAL GAZETTE; OR THE ORIGINAL Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None, 86 From Saturday September the 8th to Saturday September 15th 1781. [No. XXXIV] 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. The Humble Petition of Squire Tun-Belly's Horse, to the L—— C—— J—— of these Realms. QUITE worn to the Stumps, in a piteous condition, I present to your Lordship, this humble Petition; Full ten Baazar Maunds, as all the Town see's, To me it seems more, my plump Master weighs; A load for a Team, yet I all alone, To Cossypore must draw him, for help I have none; Thro' the bad road Baazar, in a hot sultry Day, How I sweat, and I chafe, and I pant all the way; But when I return, and the load is increas'd, By what he hath Eaten, a Maund at the least; No single Horse can be, in conscience tho't able, To draw both the Squire, and half Cossypore Table; Yet oft times a Lady, as big at the least, Is cram'd in the Buggy, tho' a Woman of Taste O!

When he drives with a pair, may his Fortune be made, By Salt Beef, and fat Pork, with the rest of his Trade; Sugar Candy, Raw Silk, soft Sugar and Rum, Is my Prayer that his wealth, soon amount to a Plumb. OLD NELL. SIR, To Mr. HICKY, I HAVE frequently heared it urged as a matter of reproach against your paper, that instead of pointing out Particular instances of misconduct, in the management of public affairs, either for amendment or detestation, it has been almost totally employed in general declamation or censure. If the accusation be a just, yet it is an unpardonable, one, as it can have proceeded only from your Indolence; for so far from such odious acts and instances- being difficult to discover, or to specify, I should conceive your only doubt must have been on which to fix I am pleased however to find by your last paper, that you appear determined, such charge shall no longer remain against you, in particular by your mention of the considerable sum lately so, wantonly disposed of to two reveren'd Gentlemen, gained, as I am informed, by a conduct in one of them, which not only renders him a disgrace to the profession he dishonours, but even to society. It would have been only decent, too, that his patron had rewarded him for his honourable Services at his own Charge, and not at the expence of his employers, whose affairs, areredu'd to the last stage of distress, and public Credit to a state which reflects the highest discredit on, tho' it is thought the lucrative Contracts and Jobs, these Gentlemen have already been indulged with are at least equal to all the services they have performed on its Guardians, required other management. We were amused too, at the very contrary relation given by you and your opponent; of the late extraordinary transactions at Benerass—–––which of the two comes nearer to the truth we shall learn hereafter.—–––The state of the Case I conceive will be found to be this. In May 1775 the then Majority at the Board. without even the knowledge of the minority, procured from the vizier a resignation of his power over, and claim to the Zemindarie of Rajah Chyte Sing, and a sort of annexation of it to the dominion of the Company, by the stipulated tribute being paid to them instead of the Vizier. The Rajah who erroneously conceived that he should find less oppressive masters in the English than he had experienced in a Mussulman, was delighted at the exchange, and thankful to those who effected it, but the alteration which shortly took place in the power of our Government, was a fatal one for him, and the source of every mischief which has thence occurred. He soon experienced the unremitting severity of a master”

whose soul ne'er knew the " generous; godlike purpose of forgiving, and with whom the appearance only of attachment to another, was an offence most mortal. He was directly saddled with partial residents, prompt to execute the harsh Commands of their Patron with the utmost rigour. His actions tho' an independant sovereign of an hereditary dominion, were wontonly controlled by Boys in Office; his consequence and Authority degraded, and his old and faithful Counsellors removed from his person, and Country, because suspected of giving advice, incompatible with the designs of the ruling power; Should such acts of mortification have partly alienated his affections from our Government, can it afford surprize? will it not rather create wonder, that he could submit to suffer them. He did, however, and let that acquit him, of the charge of having premeditately designed the mischief which has unfortunately followed. The source of it must be traced a little higher.---- The finances of the Company by the Oeconomy, and good managment which has prevailed at home, and the War of which reflect so high lustre upon our prudence, our skill in political knowledge, our good faith and rigid adherence to the most solemn treaties we have entered into abroad being reduced (as I before observed) from a state of the greatest Credit and affluence, to that which is most opposite to both, a supply of cash, which our own Provinces will not yield, is rendered absolutely necessary for the conducting of the Affairs of Government, and to procure this, the laudable scheme of making this Rajah (who unfortunately for him has the reputation of possessing great Riches) the Provider, is resolved upon, and attempted to be carried into execution. Had the Secrecy which ought to have attended an act of this most extraordinary nature been observed, it might possibly have succeeded; but no Resistance being suspected, no measures were taken to overcome it. It is said the Rajah's offers were large, for a Compromise, but not being equal to Exigences, Expulsion was threatened, which produced despair, and the melancholy consequences to the unfortunate victims of an enraged multitude, which have followed, and which may be placed solely to the account of the Authors of these measures.----It is yet uncertain it seems, what the final issue of this strange transaction may be----should the spilling of blood stop here, we may perhaps deem ourselves fortunate.----It has however, I hear, been a lucky Journey for an Individual or two, who have raised no small contributions in their Route, the particulars of which perhaps may be the subject of another letter, from. PLAIN TRUTH. Dacca 4th September 1781. CALCUTTA. Extract of a Letter from Beneras, dated 18 August 1781. THE Governor finding it necessary to put Chyte Sing in Arrest sent Mr. Markham with orders to him for that purpose. He went attended with his usual Guard, and 2 Companies of sepoys followed to inforce the Order in case of the Rajah's refusal.----He quietly submitted and Mr. Markham leaving him in Charge of Messrs Staulker Scott and Syms was desired by th Rajah to return to him after he had seen the Governor. The Governor had prepared and delived into his Hands fresh instructions, when Intelligence arrived that great Bodies of Armed men had crossed the River and surrounded the House.----Unfortunately it appeared by an appearance from the Officer they had gone without Ammunition. The Governor immediately ordered Major Popham to send another Company with ammunition.----This was executed with all the promptness the Occasion required, the Crowd before them resisted their approach to the House, and a sudden Assault being made on the sepoys who were within, they were all massacred but 20 with the 3 Officers. The Rajah escaped thro a Wicket which over looked the Bank of the River by means of turban's tied together. A small boa waiting for him at the Bottom carried him in an instant a cross the river, and he was seen to mount a horse on which he galloped off, it is said to Sateefgur one of his strong Holds about two Coss and a half above Chunar. Extract of a Letter from Patna Dated 24th August 1781. "The Rajah is in possession of Ramnagur his House on the oposite side the River and Town of Benneras which he is fortifying, and has put under the Command of one of his relations. He himself is collecting a considerable Force in the neighbourhood of Sateefgur. It is said he has proclaimed a remission of a Years revenue to all Zemindars who will support his Cause. It would not be surprizing if he had invited the Marrattas to join, and that a detachment from Sindeas Army had actually arrived at his Camp. He has certainly the means of becoming very troublesome----He has governed his Country on upright Principles. His Councils and other Officers of Government, have been for years in possession.----They have a personal influence in their districts and it is natural to expect they will exert it in support of a province who so well deserves it at their hands----The Country powers taking advantage of our defenceless state may bear an active part against us,----it is at any rate a bad begining and may sensibly affect the Governois negotiations. His personal Consequence must be injured. The trouble, the Raja has taken to entercept the Communication may possibly indicate some plan in view, more than the mere possession of his own Dominions. Extract of a Letter from Patna 28th August 1781. "No Dauk from Beneras since that, dated 18 h Instant, but a Cossid was dispatched from Chunar the 22d, by the Governor with a Letter to Mrs. HASTINGS, which got safe to Buxar, and Major Eaton put him into a Pulwar, and he arrived here in the Course of last Night; The 20th Captain Mayaffre with 2 Guns and a detachment from Major White's, and Major Popham's Regiment, and a Party of the French Chaseurs Marched from the Fort of Chunar, they were engaged by Chyte Sing's Troops either at Ramnagere, or on their March to it, by some fatality the Guns would not go off, Mayaffree was killed, and it is said a Lt. Grand, another Artillery Officer, the two Guns were taken, but the three Infantry Captain tho' all wounded, as also one of the Subalturn fought their way back, and regained the Fort with great Credit, the Number of Killed and Wounded not known, the Governor and his party, (near fifty Gentlemen) I hear were still in their Camp at Beneras, the 21st, and in the Evening received Intelligence, that a Number of Armed Men getting into Boats at Ramnagore, to Cross over to Beneras, the Governor therefore Immediately resolved to retire with his party to Chunar which is 8 Coss from Beneras, and of the opposite side of the River. They began their March about 8 at Night, and got safe into the Fort about five the next Morning, and soon after the Governors Fleet were seized by the Rajah's People plundered, and taken over to Ramnagur and their Rudders carried on shore.-----Major Eaton writes 6 or 700 of the Dandee's and Mangee's, were with him at Buxar, and hundred's daily arriving, that the Enemy had taken a Mrs. Murray, and carried her up the Country, She is Wife of a Lt. Murray, but how or where they could meet with her, I cannot learn. The Buxar Munshy wrote me the purport of the above Intelligence, some days ago, but not the particular, or that his information, was more than the rumer of the Country People. The three Europeans bodies headless have been lately seen Floating by Patna. Mr. Perreau going up Paymaster to Major Pophams Detachment, had his boats Plundered, even between Patna and Buxar, Major Moses Crawford wit

[COLUMN 1] The 1st. Battalion of his Regiment Arrived at Buxar the 26th, and his 2d. Battalion Commanded by Capt. Maxwell who was with it on Command at Bogga, and the 2 Guns of the Battalion will also reach Buxar the 29th, or the 30th.— I conclude the whole Regt. will Continue their March for Chunar.— The Buxar Munshy writes me he learns the Rajah is Collecting his utmost force to invest Chunar,— I have since heard that Mrs. Murray was in a Budgerow at the Gaut at Chunar, and as the Gentlemens Houses and Bungalows are straggled for a Coss of each side of the Fort they are no doubt plundered to day Capt. Salt and Lieutenant Jones's Troop's both Consisting of about 170 Trooper's are ordered to join Major Crawfords Regt. at Buxar from which I conclude One Regt. is thought to be too small a force to make it's way thro' that Country at present, indeed from all Accounts it must be.—all the Boats and Budgerows that were wind bound at Buxar Major Eaton Ordered to Return to Dinapore. A little above gauzepore the Ravage Commences Budgerows and boats innumerable have been plundered and sunk, and all Europeans their people can lay hold of are murdered.—The Cossid brought a letter from the Governor for Mr. Wheler also which was dispatched at 4 this Morning on an express Pulwar, Another Letter from patna of the same date mentions that Ossan Sing the person whom the Governor had nominated to act for the Revenue in Consequence of the Abdication of Rajah, Chyte Sing and others were with the Governor at Chunar and that Asophuddowla was on his March with a Force to Assist the Governor. THE Daccoits we are Informed have cut off all the Europeans they could find at Backergunge. Amongst whom was a Mr. Gill—formerly in Captain Price Employment—But latterly in Partnership with Captain Thornhill in the Rice Trade and Settled at Bakergunge to carry on that Business.

ON The 14th and 17th I had the Honour to write to you by a Danish Snow—and to acquaint you that the Army had taken the field. Just as the Snow had got under way, the Company's Ships Fortitude and Valentine came into this Road—These, together with the Essex, Southampton, Queen, Chapman, Hinchinbrook, and Lord North arrived at St. Jago with the Squadron under Commodore Johnston on the 10th April: they Sail'd from thence 2d May and were Sent forward on 19th June from about 10 days Sail on the otherside of the Cape—they parted with the Other 6 ships on the 13th July in bad weather near the Island of St. Pauls the Locks.— Capt. Lawson, (on board of which is Colonel Horne) parted with the Squadron on the 13th June, On the 13th April, the Monmouth and Jupiter together with some of the Company's Ships and Transports, were (for the more dispatch,) Sent to the isle of May to take in their Water. but finding it more tedious than at St. Jago they returned on the 15th to St. Jago and next morning, at 8 o' Clock, 5 large ships were Seen Turning round the point and, coming into the Harbour and were soon Known to be Enemys ships. They Immediately bore down upon, and attack'd the ships that were nearest to them, which chanc'd to be Chiefly the ships of the Companys and transport, for these it seems however, (unusual the desposition,) were rang'd without the ships of war and did many of them a great deal of damage, Kill'd and wounded many of their men boarded the Hinchinbrook, and carried Her and a Bomb Ketch out of the Harbour totally disabled some of the Other ships all or most of which however defended themselves gallantly, before the Men of war could get to their assistance but when they Did and the action became General—the french ships retired with great Loss and the Hinchinbrook and the Bomb were retaken but the most material Packets of the Companys with the signals for St. Helena, which were on board the former the Enemy got possession of. The ships of these were L'Hero of 74—Mons. De Soufrien Chevalier De'Entrdee suffered much, Le Hannibal 75, Tromajon totally dismasted and damaged in her Hull, De Articien 64 Cardiellio killed, suffered much, Le Vengeur 64 Duchillon, Le Sphyx 64 Forbin. They had in Company, but did not enter the Harbour, 4 Indiamen and 5 Transports, with the Fortune Sloop of War, having on board the Regiment of Pondicherry under the Command of Col. De Castrus, and Lt. Col. Cario with a Detachment of the Regiment of Austracia, and a body of Artillery in all about 400 Men, they left Brest about 19th March, in Company with the French Fleet for the West Indias, consisting of 21 Ships, under the Count De Grace, & look'd into Madeira, but not finding the English Squadron there, they removed to St. Jago, which must have been their destination also, for watering as the Governor of that Island told Commodore Johnston, on his Arrival Here, that he had been informed by a French Frigate the Scorpio of 50 Guns (the same which had been taken by Paul Jones then mounting 44) that had been there a short time before, in her way to the Cape of Good Hope, that he might soon expect a French Squadron there of 5 large Ships and Transports, which were to follow her, and yet it seems that our Commodore, put so little Credit in this report, that he did not send any of the Sloops without the Harbour to look out, nor, even employed any body to attend at the signal House on the outside of the point, which if it had been done no doubt seems to be entertained, that the Ships in the Harbour would have notice of the Appearance of the Enemy, so soon after Sun rise, that the Men of War and Frigates could easily have stood out, and met the Enemy, which would probably give our Squadron a Compleat Victory, and at once secured the Conquest of the Cape, and every other happy consequence to this Country, a matter which cannot now be so certain, as it is not improbable (indeed some think not very improbable) that the Enemy will get to the Cape before Commodore Johnston, especially if they should dif-

Continued from our Last. C H A P. II. How very seldom a Man-midwife is necessary. IT has been allowed by the ablest Anatomists, that Labour is Nature's Work. If the Assistance of Men-Midwives were requisite, the World could never have been peopled. To suppose any more Art necessary, than what can be taught by Experience-- would be to arraign the Goodness and Wisdom of the Almighty. In England, the Custom of employing Men, is only of modern Date. It is but lately that our Women became so depraved. For the Honour of the Female Character be it spoken---- even in London---in the midst of the reigning Depravity, there are many Ladies of the first Rank, who employ Women--and such a Number have their own Sex to Assist them, that Encouragement is given for some of the Profession to keep elegant Carriages. There are Women who make above 1000l, a year by their Practice. I have no doubt but many Women are led to employ Men, through Ignorance, that there are Midwives of such Eminence in London.----- Yet, even Eminence is not absolutely necessary---since, if it were, what would become of the Millions whose Assisters are no otherwise qualified for the Employment, than by the Knowledge which they derive from a little Experience ?----In fact, Experience is the best Instructor. Art is too apt to encroach on Nature---and where the Province is Nature's---for once that Art may be of Service, It will nine Hundred Times do Mischief. Even Doctor Smellie says, that * " For further Illustration, and " to inform young Practitioners that " difficult Cases do not frequently oc" cur, suppose, of three thousand Wo" men in one Town or Village, one " thousand shall be delivered in the " Space of one Year, and in nine hundred " and ninety of these Births, the Child " shall be born without any other than " common Assistance." What is to be understood by common Assistance is obvious---such Assistance as one Country female Neighbour can afford another. And even of the remaining ten, the odds are great, that that there will not be one which requires the Crotchet ‡ ---and that is the only Case, in which the manual Assistance of a Man, can be requisite, provided there be a Woman of Eminence employed. When an Operation is to be performed--and that Operation is to be done, out of sight, indisputably a Man becomes necessary. But even in this Case, it is not the Assistance of every common Apothecary. who chuses to write " Man-Midwife" over his Door, that will avail--it must be some skilful Surgeon----or the Woman had better, and with infinitely less Risk, take her Chance, than be saved from immediate Death ( and that far from certain ) too probably only to have wretchedness entailed on her, for a Year or two of a miserable Life. Dr. Smellie adds, in the next Page, that " next Year let us " suppose another thousand Women de" livered in the same Place; not above " three, six, or eight, shall want extraor" dinary Assistance," and the extraordinary Assistance requisite for these three, six, or eight, out of the thousand, is only such, as every Midwife of the least eminence, is qualified to afford. I know a Lady who had as cross a Labour as ever occured--and, notwithstanding, was as safely delivered, as she could have been by the first Man in London--she had only a common Midwife, in a Country Town, two hundred Miles from London. If she had employed a Man, it is fifty to one the Child would have been Crotcheted--that is murdered----and the Lady, most probably, wounded or torn! How can the Assistance of Men be necessary when even a Man-Midwife of such Eminence as Dr. Smellie, confesses that in TWO THOUSAND Labours, there shall only be TWENTY which require any other Assistance than the Labour-Pains? How much less, then, can the Assistance of Men be necessary, when even eighteen of those twenty, are deemed laborious, only because the Assistance of turning, and bringing by the Feet is requisite--which every Woman of Experience is as able to perform, as any Man in London?--There cannot be a greater Error than that the Knowledge of Anatomy is necessary for any Cases, but that unhappy one in many thousands, where the Child must be killed in the Womb. Every Woman of Experience must know the Situation of the Parts in which she is to operate. They are so plain, and obvious, she cannot miss her way--and if the Child is to be turned--there needs no Knowledge of Anatomy to distinguish an Hand from a Foot--or an Head from any other part----by the feel. Her Road is so plain before her, that she cannot mistake it. An eminent Man-Midwife to my Knowledge, went much further in his Computation than Dr. Smellie has done--for he declared, after a Practice of thirty six Years--that he had never met with even a single Case, in which a Woman of Experience might not have done the Business, as well as he could. I know a Midwife, too, who has brought above six thousand Children into the World, and never met with a Case, that required a Man. To be Continued. * Vol. I.
