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 15th to Saturday September 22d. 1781. [No. XXXV] Mr. HICKY. Your correspondent TABITHA TICKLE does not forget you, insert this Bon-Ton Intelligence to gratify your constant ADMIRE. A LADY. BON TON INTELLIGENCE EXTRAORDINARY. GREAT Revolutions have taken place among The Amorous Circle at the Equestrian stand. Icarus Seems to have recover'd the Scorching and to the Surprize of every body his wings which were lately Singed begin to be fledged and grow powerful,—;; Marplott the chief Engineer has been incessantly Negociating but all in vain.—both parties, continue hostile and Distant—The Engineer is now Seen daily with the Turband-fair—Strange Conjectures—are formed—The Scape G—t and B——rejoice at this war-fare and are both vieing in armour to Assail the fair—In, the mean time Icarus is consoling himself with most philosophic tranquility.—Laughing at the heterogenous Group. INTELLIGENCE EXTRAORDINARY. COUNSELLOR FEEBLE visits the CYPRIAN GODDESS twice a Day. to enquire after her health. and to present her with some peices of his masterly Musical Compositions or rather Transpositions. It is said that the real reason why the JACKALL has not hitherto repaired to his Station at Benares is that the MASTER thought proper to leave him behind as a Spy on the Conduct of the *****.—It is further said that the JACKALL was, a few Months, ago, quartered on Stephen Shallow that Monopoliser of lucrative Contracts, and Offices, as a reward for the faithfull performance of this honorable Service. The ******* has not yet thought it safe to venture out of Chunar Fort—Alas! How the proofs of our publick faith, wisdom, and strength thicken upon us, Good GOD! that WE should be so degraded.—All He and His Colleague now want is to immortalize their Names, they have just honesty enough to tell the truth to the English Nation — which, GOD knows the flimsy and elaborate Authenticated Narrative given. Of the famous Transaction in the India Gazette, was far from conveying. But the Editor of that Impartial Paper it would seem, has a carte blanch to assert from AUTHORITY, but no authority to own any TRUTH he ought in Common Justice to Confess. That any Species of Merit passes unrewarded in this—splended Reign of the Master and — let no one assert—when Buxey C——, one of the W—— Phalanx. has had an appointment of such trust and Consequence given to him——Billy B——ke Chief of a province! who would have thought it! Ha! Ha! Ha! The Stiff n—el***** that happy Instrument, of mere Insignificancy and famous for his treachery to his patron struck with the frenzy of present influence, struts a God in his own dear Opinion—whilst humble and honest men laugh at this Gulliver in Lilliput and pity him as a token of their charity.— The Rev'd Mr———praying last Sunday, said—Lord have mercy on all Fools, and Idiots, and Particularly on the Rulers of the East.” The Wag's will have it that the — is Governed by one Bullock, one Calf, and a Horse of the Tazee Cast.—A blessed Triumvirate truly! and puts Us in Mind of Caligula's Horse.— On Buxey —— telling Tent-pole Impromptu that he considered him as the author of all the literary productions against him and that he would retaliate — aye do replies Impromptu for I would have you to know, that I was not bred in a Wood to be scared by an Owl. SIR, AS I believe you intend your paper for the public good, and as a channel to point out such grievances as the Law gives no redress for (or if it does the remedy proves worse than the disease) I shall address you without further ceremony, for as to Mr. M—— I know him to be such a contemptable tool of power that he wou'd not print a line against a man who is in favour with the great, tho' the salvation of the rest of the world depended upon it; and you will perceive that my complaint is against a Man who thro' a certain channel has had interest to secure a contract to himself, against the positive Orders of the Company, and that it is well known might be made for 60'000 R's per ann. less, but to my story. As I was ke'ging down the river with a deep loaded vessel, my Cable parted near the powder works; however as the Buoy was to the Anchor, tho' very little of the Cable remained with it I apprehended no great loss, one of my Lascars telling me that the diver men lived very near, accordingly another Anchor being immediately let go, the Boat was sent on shore, and in about 2 hours the Divers were brought, (it was near slack Water, the tide of ebb) They were shewn the Buoy and desired to take the end of a Cable down to fasten to the Anchor (it was in 3 fathom water) they asked if I had an order from Mr S——n, I told them no, and in return asked them if they were his servants, they said no, they were neither his, nor any body's servants, but if they did any diving business, for any one without his Orders he would flog them, and that they had no one to complain to, it being well known the B—f—was his particular friend; it was in vain for me to tell them, that tho' they had no right to go a looking out for anchors on their own accords, yet when a Gentleman sent for them for his own Anchor, of which the Cable was just broke, and the Buoy remaining to it, that no one had any right to hinder them, that I had not time to send to Mr. S——as it would be night before the next low water and that I would not loose another ebb for 500 R's. one of the people shewed me his back (which to be sure had been trimmed) and said that was a flogging he got for the very same business—In short I was obliged to go and leave my Anchor behind me (which I never expect to see more, tho' perhaps some body else may) that Mr. S——might have got unjustly 18 Rp's my Anchor being 900 wt. and it seems he makes a charge of 2 R per H. for ordering the Divers to attend you. Now suppose this had been my best Bower Anchor, and it was coming on a tempestuous night, then I must have lain and run all risks, 'till this great Mans Orders could be procured, tho' assistance might be given otherwise in half an hour It is to be hoped this will occasion others to make their complaints, that such a

Character may be properly known.—I beg leave to mention another extraordinary act of Power this Gentleman has assumed for many years. I have it only by report from one of my Officers he says one time when he was laying at Kedjeree, he met with a Man on shore who at first said he was Mr. S——s Servant and that his business was to look after all Wrecks on being asked if he had any written authority he produced one in bengals signed by the abovementioned Great man, the purport of which was (as the Darogah interpreted it) let no one “molest or interrupt the bearer(writing “his name) in his business he being in my “employ, the Darogah farther told the Man he was not Mr S—— Servant but that he gave him 200 Rupees a year for that Paper, and that when he got any Masts or yards &c. he sold them only to him——which he never deny’d——The public Utility of such a Contract need not be mention’d; indeed it is of a piece with the orders to the Divers. I cannot pretend to write for the Public only just Plainly mention matters of Fact——. I am Sir, Your well wisher. Nauticus. Buoy of the Fairway. August 17: 1781. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The accounts lately received from the Coast are as follows. THAT GENERAL SIR EYRE COOTE, had received private Intelligence, from his spies (which he very politically had employ’d for that purpose that Hyder Ally intended, to surprise him in the night but SIR EYRE with his usual spirit and activity, Marched and surprised Hyder the same Night, that he received the information. The Battle was not obstinate, or General for Hyder after having sustained a very considerable loss retreated with the utmost percipitation. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Extract of a Letter from Ganjam. “SIR EYRE COOTE has had another Engagement with Hyder Ally.—Finding the Enemy had planted himself with his whole force on the very spot where Col. Baillie was defeated last Year, which road we were obliged to pass.—The Gen. determined to Attack him, and for this purpose marched from Tripassore early 27th Ult. in the Morning and engaged Hyder about 9 o’Clock in the forenoon.—The Action lasted till one, when we advanced upon the Enemy and drove them from their Ground; they gained fresh Spirits when they had got across a Swamp of Paddy Fields where they knew we could not follow them, and continued their Canonad untill Sun set. SIR EYRE COOTE Encamped upon the Field of Battle, and expected to renew the Engagement next Day.—We lost about 30 Europeans, & 100 Sepoys, Capt. Hislop was Killed at the commencement of the Engagement, Gen. Stuart has lost a Leg, and Col Brown his left Leg, an Ensign Gould his Leg and Thigh, Captain Bridges wounded in three places, but not mortally. Ganjam 10th Sept. 1781. In the anals of India relative to Hyders Wars our minds have been impressed with the most surprizing war like feat’s of Hyder Ally, and to do him Justice we must say that he with some reason may claim the Laurels from all the black Generals of his Cast in this part of the Globe. But what is his fate and situation now? Why distress, Horror, and slaughter. He has got a man against him now who strikes an awful terror to his soul.—One who has been bred to Arms and (General actions) from his earliest youth, a Man truly brave, Cool, determined, and as resolute as Alexander. Thus whilst the truly brave and warlike COOTE, is Singeing the Whiskers of the Tyrant Hyder Ally, reducing him to obedience and securing the Hon’ble Company’s territorial possessions on the Coast, restoring every thing to its former state of Tranquility and plenty, by which he might soon be enabled to return with his amiable accomplished, and Virtuous Wife once more with Laurels to Old England, to receive the thanks of his ROYAL MASTER, and those of his grateful people, the just and Hon’ble reward of a truly brave and Virtuous General.—The wise Acres in this part of the World are making more work for him by applying the Match to every fuze, and setting of the whole Country in a Blaze. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Non sua Virtute, sed Laude tumesset Avorum Juvenal.

They are extracted from a production of a Junvenile Poet, who attempts to give a Correspondent up the Country an account of the Ladies at the Presidency.

Oppos’d to Thee how dim the W——gh——m shines, Tho cast in one of nature’s loveliest molds, Where shape, and Air, and form conspires to charm, But what are these devoid of chasten’d Grace! Of modest diffidence merits surest test, And manners which alone can please in woman! To guide the flyng steeds with manlike art, Is but a poor perfection and to lend Thine Ear to ev’ry Coxcombs Tale, beneath The Judgement which thou want’s not. Yet let it be confess’d that thy defects Are not defects of Weakness—that thy mind Is far above the Trifles which engross thee,

[no XXXV Sept 15 - Sept 22 - 1781] C A L C U T T A. BY the snow Mahomed shaw, who arrived the 22d. Instant after a passage of only five days we have received accounts, that, the Hon'ble, GENEARL SIR EYRE COOTE has had another bloody Engagement with Hyder Alley, who he totally defeated, and drove from the field with the utmost Percipitation. In this Engagement we had 13 Officers and 47 Seapoys, Killed, and nineteen wounded. The above seems to be an imperfect account, and wants confirmation.---We are in daily expectation of Letters from SIR EYRE COOTE. The Betsey also from Bombay in 12 days only. The Ship True Britain Captain Dring, Frec Mason, French, Snow Speedwell Jeffreys Snw Mary Borlase and the Sloop Industry, Gorely, are all safe arrived at Madras.

"THERE is nothing new from Madras but that Lieutenant Col. Brown died of his wounds and that Major Kilpatrick has been shot in a duel by Captain Richard Scott and is since dead. Advices from Madras of the 13th instant inform us that the Gallant Sir Sir Eyre Coote has been unable to promote his march towards Arcot for want of provisions and that the Army and the whole settlement are in the greatest distress on this account. We are glad to inform the Public, that the Southampton Capt. Lennox a missing Ship is safe arrived at Madras.---The Nancy is arrived from Bombay, by this Vessel we are told that B. G. G was gone to Surat to raise Troops for the purpose of prosecuting the advantageous successful and Glorious Maratta War, in which we have been engaged for four Years past which has filled the Pockets of many Hon'ble Gentlemen who have been employed on this Service even the-------himself we are informed has not only paid off all his debts but has remitted to Europe no less a Sum than 200,000 £. Sterling. The particulars of the action of the 3d. Instant at Baneres are, that Major Popham detached Captain Blair with seven Companies of Sepoys and two Guns to attack the Enemy who were prepared to receive him and made a very spirited resistance.---The action was very severe but the fortune of the day was happily turned in our favor by a bold and well judged maneuvre of Captain Blair in detaching his 2 Grenadier Companies to attack some Guns which were posted on the flanks and galled his men exceedingly, which were carried and turned on the Enemy who were soon totally routed---Captain Blair brought off 3 Guns spiked the 4th the Carriage of which was disabled-------he also carried away one of their ammunition Tumbrils, and blew up three more, with a large quantity of coarse powder.---The number of the Enemy was judged by Captain Blair to be about 4000, but was reputed by the natives to be considerably more---Captain Blair has gained great honor by the good conduct and gallantry which he displayed on this occasion.---The Cawnpore Troops are arrived at Chunar so that when Major Moses Crawford joined, which it was imagined would have been on the 16th-------The Major would then be at the head of five Regiments of Sepoys and a detachmet of Europeann Artillery, besides the Viziers Banditti. BY advices from Patna we are informed that report prevails there of Rajah Chyte Sings having been betray'd by two of his servants who delivered him up to us, when he had meditated his escape aud was going off in the habit of a Fakeer. --- but this wants confirmation Letters from Patna also informs us that the Troops from Cawnpore had reached Chunar and that Major Popham was to proceed at the head of them against Beidge Ghur on the 14th Instant, It seems the Nabob Auseph ul Dowlah is arrived at Chunar and has had a conference with the G. G. but what plans have been thought of for settling the Gauzipore district is not yet known, we are however credibly informed that Mr. Auseph casts a longing Eye towards this Zemindary, Extract of a Letter from Dinapore dated 11th September 1781. "Futty Saco formerly a refractory Zimindar but now independant is gone into the district of Housseypore I'll used the Gomastahs and renters and has driven them away.

[COLUMN 1] Continued from our Last. IT is impossible in the very Nature of Things, that a Man can be as cool as a Woman. His Sex renders it impossible. To imagine otherwise, is either to be very little acquainted with the Nature, and Feelings of a Man—or very ignorant of what passes on such Occasions. Let some Men-Midwives pretend what they will, certain Freedoms must produce certain Consequences—till the Nature of Things change—and natural causes cease to produce natural Effects. I speak of that Circumstance, in this Chapter, only as it may affect the Woman's safety. If a Woman lay in imminent Danger, indeed—owing to her being unhappily one of the very few who require a Man-Midwife---then the Man's thoughts—unless he were Worse than human, would be so entirely engrossed by the poor Woman's great Danger, as to leave no Time—no Vacancy, for other Ideas to enter. In those numberless Cases, on the contrary, where an experienced Woman is sufficient, it is impossible but that a Man's Thoughts must rove, while every Part of a pretty woman is exposed to his uncontrouled Freedoms—and he knows at the same Time that she is in no Danger—and that a Woman could have done as well, if his fair Patient had had Modesty enough to induce her to employ one. But Men-Midwives, in general,* pretend that the Situation in which Women then are, prevents the Difference of their Sex being capable of producing it's natural Effects on their Thoughts and Passions. They pretend, too, that the Number of Women who pass through their Hands, tends likewise to render them insensible. Now—with respect to the first—the Pretence can impose on none who are the least informed on the Subject. Women are very frequently in what may be termed Labour, for a Day or two before the Birth, and perhaps more—and yet, notwithstanding, are well enough to walk about—sit at Table with Company—in every respect the same as to their Persons, as they were before the Midwife was sent for. Nay—in almost every Case, they have Pains for some ours, that render it necessary to have eir Assistant with them, to be ready, or knowing the Instant when the Labour may come on in earnest—) at the same Time that they are not in that kind of Labour, that can render their Persons less capable of exciting natural Sensations, in one of a different Sex.‡ To be Continued. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– STOLEN. OUT of the House of a Gentleman in Calcutta last Thursday Evening a handsome Pair of Brilliant Diamond Earings set in the Country Containing six Drops three in Each, at the same time Eight Hundred Sicca Rupees whoever will give information should such a Pair of Earings be brought for Sale, so that the Person or Persons may be apprehended shall receive a Reward of Twenty Gold Mohurs by a p p l y i n g to Mr. HICKY the Printer of this Gazette.

W. at the printing Office mentioning the Age of the Rum and the price and the party shall be treated with. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– * There are many, however who have been honest enough to confess that they have been inflamed to the highest Degree possible. The Thing speaks itself. Decency will not permit me to relate the Effect that has been produced by it. ‡ If otherwise, how came it that a Man-Midwife of great Practice in this Town, examined a Woman of Fashion, by the Touch, and yet thought her Labour so distant that her—and the Child was born—and her Cries were heard by Persons residing, before the Doctor's Carriage had been five Minutes from the door? The Doctor was sent after—but not found, 'till an Hour after the Birth!—What a Situation for a Woman to be in, for an Hour!—She was in Labour, when the Doctor touched her—but so little did Things appear to him in that State, that he left her. This proves that a Woman may be—and generally is—in such Labours as require the Presence of her Assistant, for Hours prior to the Birth—though she may not be, and seldom is, in a Situation that can counteract the natural Feelings of a male Assistant.
