92 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 October, the 20th to Saturday October 27th 1781. [No. XL] Extract of a Letter from Bangelore dated 8th May 1781. OUR treatment is rather more supportable than when I wrote to you last; we have an allowance of Mutton and Rice with an addition of 9 Cash per day, a poor subsistance indeed for British Officers, but we submit with fortitude and consider it as the fortune of War. what dwells most upon our minds is the being bound in chains, and put upon a footing with the Convicts of a common Goal. But time no doubt will shew the unhuman warrior the folly of his conduct.—Unfortunate—truely unfortunate indeed was the defeat of Col. Baillie, and I doubt much if you have yet heard the particulars of that horrid Massacre of which I would have advised you long ago, but from a dread of the discovery of such a Correspondence.—The detachment under Col. Fletcher arrived safe in Col. Baillie's Camp on the 9th sept. in the Morning; without any interuption in the march. On the evening of that day the tents were struck and the whole march'd under the Command of Col. Baillie. having advanced 4 miles a large body of the enemy's Cavalry was observed on the right flank of our rear guard. The Officer who commanded there imagining that the Enemie's intention was to charge him in the rear order'd the long roll to beat, as a signal for the line to halt.—Col. Baillie then order'd that the line should be form'd to the rear, during which time several rounds of Artillery were exchanged between the party of the enemy that appear'd in the rear, and the rear guard of the detachmen. The line being form'd a genearl fire from our Artillery was order'd to silence the Enemy's Artillery in that Quarter, which was easily obtain'd. Finding that the enemy's force which appear'd in the rear was totally dispers'd, it was thought proper to form the line into their first marching order, and to advance; and having gain'd 600 paces, the whole front of the Europeans was attack'd by a smart fire of Artillery towards the front of the line, which was returned by one of our field pieces then in front of the Europeans. The Commanding Officer finding that the enemy still kept firing with success on our lines detached Captain Rumley with a Battalion of Sepoy Grenadiers with orders to take or spike those Guns.—but upon his advancing it was found impracticable owing to a deep Nullah extending beyond both flanks of the line, This difficulty being discover'd the line was order'd to advance, so as to be under cover of an Avenue leading to Congeveram. The Colonel finding that the enemy were apprised of his intended march, and under favour of the night might easily have laid an ambuscade for him, thought it incumbent to halt until day light, In the morning the line moved on, observing the same order as in the night—Upon the Army advancing from the Avenue (which extended 2 miles into a fine wide plain) it was instantly attack'd by a general fire of Artillery from strong and regular intrenchments, to which the line was totally expos'd. In this situation a considerable loss was sustain'd; and it was soon found proper to advance the detachment about 300 yards to a small water course that run across the plain; where most of the Troops particularly the Europeans were under cover. The Artillery was then placed upon the rising ground for the purpose of silencing the Guns of Tippoo Saib's party. The Artillery of the British Troops, soon put all those of the Enemy, into great confusion. Upon this Capt. Rumley was again detach'd with the same Command as before with Orders to take those Guns, which to all appearance were this time abandoned. Captain Gowdie with the other Battalion of Sepoy Grenadiers was Ordered to support him. At the same time that this Detachment was Ordered out the Cavalry of Tippoo Saib's party made a movement to charge the Right Flank of the line, and Capt. Rumley imagining that this was done with an intention to cut him off from the Main Body, returned without effecting his purpose. The charge which the Cavalry made was sustained with great resolution by the Body of Europeans, form'd on the right and they were at last totally repulsed with considerable loss. The charge made by this party being broke the whole body of Hyder's Army appear'd in the rear their Artillery to the amount of 50 pices being brought into their front; the Detachments under Monsr. Lally and Pumarein being posted with the Artillery of their respective Corps towards the flanks of our line and Tippoo Saib's party having from the appearance of the main body return'd to their Guns, a General and exceeding hot fire of Artillery played on our line from all Quarters, during which time our Tumbrils were unfortunately blown up and our Ammunition mostly expended and soon after our Artillery quite silenced Colonel Fletcher being in the left of the line observing the motions of the Enemy and expecting an attack on the rear Guard call'd out to two of the European Granadiers Companies to move out of the water course and support the rear Guard, at this the Battalions of Sepoys advanced without Orders out of the Water Course, throwing themselves all into confusion, and rushing thro' the Ranks of the Europeans, and in short every thing at this time had the appearance of a dreadful Scene of horror and confusion. The Enemy finding the British Troops in disorder, made a General charge on all sides with their Artillery in Front, and large bodies of Infantry firing showers of Musquetry on the line. In vain were all the efforts of the Sepoy Officers to rally the Men, and with great difficulty were the bodies of Europeans formed into one line, which sustained the attack for a Considerable time with an intripid bravery, until Col. Baillie finding that his small body of Europeans were unfit to sustain any longer the charge of such immense bodies of Cavalry; from a generous motive to save the lives of his Countrymen, ordered the Flag of Truce to be raised; but alas! to such an Enemy this was no proof of amiable intentions, they without the smallest hesitation put Man, Woman, and Child to the Sword.—After this unfortunate Action all that were saved were sent Prisoners to the Enemy's Camp, and after remaining there several Days, those who were but slightly wounded were sent to the Mysore Country, and the others to the Garrison of Arnee. This Garrison is exceedingly weak, it consists only of 100 Sepoys and those very disaffected.—The Fortifications are strong to appearance, but when examined are only Earth covered with Chunam. The Ditch can only be fitted with Water during the Monsoons I hope the Army will soon move this way, this place would be an easy prize. Extract of Letters from Madras dated 28th September 1781. SIR Edward Hughes has within these few Days been joined by the Monarch of 74 Guns, directly from England, and the Active Frigate from Commodore Johnston's Fleet,—The former left England on the 17th April, and brings accounts that one of our Cruizers had taken a Packet from the Mauritious, without losing any of her Letters, by which means, they had the first Intelligence of Hyders invasion of the Carnatic, and the defeat of Col. Baillie.—A Squadron of 5 Ships of the Line and 3 Frigates, under

the Command of Commodore Kempenfelt, are to accompany the East Indiamen, who are to leave England about the Middle of May, and to bring 1500 Troops. No advices had been received from the Crand Fleet.—The Affairs of America continued to wear a Favourable aspect.—East India affairs were introduced into the House of Common's by Lord North, who moved that they should be considered in a Committee of the whole House on the 23th of April. Commodore Johnston on his approach to the Cape was informed by the Frigates which he sent in before him, that the French Squadron, which had engaged him at St. Jago, had already got safe into False Bay, one of these Frigates, the Active, commanded by Captain Mackenzie, having a few Days before taken a Dutch Ship which had just left the Cape, and was bound for Ceylon (with Military Stores to a considerable value, and Bulion to the amount of 40,000 £.) gave information of the state of our affairs in India:—The Commodore being sensible that any attempt on the Cape was then too hazardous, resolved to send all his Naval force to India, except the Romney and Jupiter, and General Meadows at the same time determined to proceed on them with all his Troops amounting to 2500. They will endeavour to make this Coast, before the Monsoon sets in. Should they be too late, they will go into Bombay.—The Jupiter is to be dispatched to India from St. Helena, and Commodore Johnston is returned to England on Board the Romney. Commodore Johnston hearing that there were 5 Ships in Saldona Bay, sent a Force in to take them.—The Dutch burnt one of them, but the other four were brought out. General Munro's health being better, he is gone to take the Command of the Expedition against Negapatam.—Lord Mac'Leod accompanied him. An account of the Action near Polipaucum 27th September 1781 THE Evening of the 26th was a prodigious rainy one, in so much that our Tents would not admit of our marching till Noon of the 27th in the morning of which SIR EYRE COOTE took his body Guard, and reconnoitered the Enemy's Camp, distant from ours 4 short miles, and very advantageously situated. Upon SIR EYRE COOTE's shewing himself, the Enemy's Cavalry were put in motion, and 3 Battalions of our nearest Brigade under Major Elphinston, were ordered to support our reconnoitering party—The Enemy had a few Irregulars advanced on a Small rock—which 3 Battalions soon took possession of, and the Line was then ordered to follow: as soon as our Army appeared Tippoo Saib with all the Cavalry, (I never saw them all before Collected in one Body) inclined to our Left, as we Marched to the Right, and when we came opposite to their Encampment they saluted us with their Picket Guns, which we paid no sort of Attention to, but leaving the 3d 4th and 5th Brigades upon a Commanding Spot of Ground, to oppose the Cavalry the 1st and 2d Brigades pushed directly at their Infantry and Guns, drawn up to cover their striking of Tents, and who had Occupied some small rocks and the Banks of a Tank we had bad Ground to go over, but our Cavalry to the right of us, supported by the 2d Brigade gained the farther end of the Tank, whilst the little Body of Europeans Marched Smartly and in great order to the left of it, and soon drove their Red Jackets after their Picket Guns, over deep Ground in which we over took one of Bailleor's 6 Pounders and mowed them down handsomely, Hyder as soon as he found his Infantry in confusion, moved round to Tippoo, with his Green Jackets and Mons. Lally—;The cavalry and 2d Brigade having gained the rising ground where the Enemy had Encamp'd the Europeans inclined a little to the Left, firing as we advanced and forming parallel to the Brigades on the Left, whereby this time about 1500 desperate dogs had made a charge upon our Sepoys in the form of a wedge—Some of these Desparado's pushed thro' an Interval leaning upon their Horses necks, Leaving such of their Companions as there was not room for behind: to the no small entertainment of our Sepoys, who gave them their musketry and grape shot very Successfully, strewing the Ground with Carcasses both of men and Horses—The most ludicrous part of the Farce was a Garland—that the Bramins had wove and tied from Tree to Tree for Hyder to stand under during the Attack of his Gallant Horse, who retired after the first onset leaving the Babauder no doubt chagrined not a little. Tippoo then moved to the left and opened some Guns to take our Line, whilst another party attacked our Baggage, but a favourable nook between 2 Rocks secured it, under cover of 2 Battalions, 1 officer was killed there by a Cannon shot, and some other trifling accidents happened of no moment. The Guns to our left soon silenced Tippoo, and the whole moved off too fast for us to come up, indeed by this time Night came on, so we had only to occupy his Encamping Ground, which we did, and found Sheep just killed, &c. Potts Boiling, and terrible to tell, for want of Rice, we could not pursue our Success.—Altogether it was a very pleasant afternoon, and has compleatly convinced me, that there is no real courage amongst these Lads.—They retreated in such confusion, that under cover of the Night, Bumrauze, and the Callastre Rajah, left them—A very few such Afternoons would sicken Hyder of fighting, his loss of Men and Horses having been very great. The 30th at night Since writing the above I find Bumrauze is in his pollam and that 700 Bullocks were sent last night to be loaded with Rice and to fetch fouls and sheep—Coolies have been sent with 3 Battalions of Sepoys, so that we do not despair of getting to Vellore, Various are the Reports of Hyders slain—but I saw such numbers myself, that I can give Credit to at least half what they say. Hyder has moved to Wallagawnagur We are Encamped on the N. W. of the stupendious rock of Sholangue, where there is a fortified Pagode. Extract of a Letter from Madras dated 28th September 1781 OUR Situation in this Settlement a few days ago was very alarming; owing to the great scarcity of Grain and provisions of every kind.—the want of which must have proved very fatal to thousands had not the Wise and Omnipotent disposer of all things sent the following ships with their different Cargoes to our relief—Viz The Snow Neily Gowerly Friench, Speedwell, Ship Alexander, Alex. Smart—Barnsdoff and the Dartimouth Thompson they have brought us a considerable quantity of grain from Bengal, with many other supplies, these Vessels came early, and are returned to fetch more, Gowerly French is a second time arrived with 1500 Bags of Rice from Masulapatam about which Trip he was only 15 days, and is now nearly discharged, ready to go a second Trip to Masulapatam where he is Promised freight for bengal—Captain George French Arrived at Masulipatam to load Company's Rice for Madras, the Day Gowerly came away from thence, Gowerly says the Company has lost 3 Magazines of Paddy at least Twenty Thousand Bags by fire that they were wilfully and maliciously set on fire and almost Consumed—Some Sepoys were taken into Custody on Suspicion, and that the Remainder Sold from one Pagoda to 1 3q's Per. Garce at Public Outcrys, Paddy then Selling retail at two Pagodas Per Bag that is 57 Bags nearly to the Garce A great loss and Point out the necessity of being upon their Guard in all English Settlements as Hyder Ally is supposed to have Emissaries and Incendiaries in all Quarters Especially among

Grain—GENERAL Sir EYRE COOTE it is Supposed Arrived at Vellour. Last night Sept. 25th or this morning the Key of the Carnatic and S. W. of Arcot 18 Miles last accounts mention that they had a favourable March thro' the Woods and were assisted by some Polligars with provisions and that Hy- der finding the Army's route changed and his Redoubts raised on the other Roads useless had followed our Armys track kept aloof to be ready to catch all Straglers the polligars assistance tho' small in proportion to the Consumption for by all accounts we expected 1500 Bags of rice per day owing to the Baha- ders attendance of some secondary allies or auxiliaries if you please whose Cha- racters are fully described by the late Facetious Mr. Foote in his Mayor of Garret B. Gen. Sir Hector Munroe its said has leave from England to return home and Lord Mc' Leod is for taking the same route they have left the Army and are at Madras so that Colonel Rois who had so resolutely baffled all Hyders Attempts to take Vellour (Both by Sword and Bribery) will on the Armys arrival at Vellour be second in Command. Hyder being suspicious, that an immediate attack will be made on Arcot, as soon as the Heavy Baggage &c. are secured at Vel- lour, is taking every step to render the assault abortive; tho' sanguine people are of Opinion, that he will not run the Risque of a general storm. By the last accounts from Col. Lang, he had made a successfull Salley, and ta- ken 15 hundred Bullocks laden with Rice, and some Elephants with treasure, going for Arcott from Hyder Ally's Country, a timely supply for Vellour, Each Bullock carried 100 of Hyder Al- ly's measures, Equal to 75 Madras measures, 23 of which makes one Ben- gal Maund.—Hyder's Army run's short of Rice, and by the last accounts they served out only three measures for one Rupee; and it's said Dissatisfaction greatly prevails in Hyders Camp, the Troops being in Arrears of pay, and Provisions Scarce. Adm. Sir Edward Hughes' Fleet are Cruzing off of Negapatam, and a num- ber of Seamen have been Cloathed, and taught the Manual Exercise, in order to Land and assist Col. Nixon whose Army collected from the Trichinoply, Tanjore, and Southern Cantonments, are expected at Negapatam Sept, 29th at farthest, it's expected a General storm will take place, unless Mynheers immediately Surrenders Notwithstanding great Reinforcements have been thrown into Negapatam from Ceylon, both Europeens, Malays and Coffrees. The Coventry is arrived at Madras from the fleet (and brings orders for 2 of the Europe Ships to be sent with stores Provisions and Troops) now at Negap- atham. The Royal Admiral and the Essex are ordered on that service the for- mer lately returned from Injeram with Grain &c. and the Latter Arrived from England Aug. 25th Coventry returned Sept. 26th. DEATH.] Gilbert Paisley Esq; sur- geon General on the Coast whose services at Madras had rendred him greatly re- spected having been resident there up- wards of 25 years. He came out Origi- nally in the Artillery as a Lieut. F. W. but soon exchanged the Sword, Spunge worm, and Ramrod for the Lancett Gold Headed Cane and Snuff box. THE Active Frigate arrived at Madras the 17th Instant with a Dutch 40 Gun Ship Prize with 52,000 £ in Specie on board fell in with her 3 Days after she was dispatched from Commodore Johnson— from the Cape—Johnson has taken 4 Dutch Indiaman out of Simmon's Bay and one of our Frigates cut one out of False Bay He himself is gone with the Prize to St. Helena to Convoy our Indiaman homeward bound the Dutch Prizes were all Loaded ready to sail for Holland—Admiral Kempenfelt with 2 Sail of the Line and 4 Frigates left Portsmouth the 1st. of May for the East Indies. Extracts of a Letter from Col. Muir's Camp dated 9th October. "CAPT. THO. FORD, is now in Scindy's Camp, with the Articles for his signature, and tho' the Particulars of treaty are not yet known, it's Cur- rently reported, and generally believed, that the first Article is, Col Muir's im- mediate return at the Dooab.—That the Fort Lohah be given up.—That the Guns and stores, taken by Col. Camac, be returned.—Scindy has entered into a treaty with the Rannan of Ghode, which is by no means favourable to us.—Col. Muir has requested from him the parti- culars, which he has positively refused. MILITARY PROMOTIONS. ARTILLERY.

Page 265.—"When the Head presents fair, with the forehead to the Sacrum, the Occiput to the Pubis, and the Ears to the Pelvis, or a little diagonal; in this Case, the head is commonly pretty well advanced in the Bason, and the Operator seldom miscarries in the Use of the Forceps.
