HICKY'S BENGAL GAZETTE; OR THE ORIGINAL Calcutta General Advertiser. A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None. 94 From Saturday November the 3d. to Saturday November 10th 1781. [No. XLII] Extract of a Letter from Madras dated October 7th 81. EARLY this Morning arrived His Majesty's Frigate Active Capt. Thomas McKenzie from England. — Commodore Johnston's fleet, and last from Sir Edward Hughe's Squadron, Cruizing off of Negapatam, She brings Account of the safe arrival of His Majesty's Ship Monarque of 74 Guns, who had joined Sir Edward Hughes' Fleet on Wednesday direct from England. And that Luckily a French Ship dispatched from the Mauritious for France, had been taken by some of our Cruizers, and brought safe into England April 14th 1781. by whose dispatches it were first known in England that Hyder Ally Cawn had invaded the Carnatic. — And Defeated the Unfortunate Col. Bailie's Detachment August 10th 1780; the dispatches further Mentioned, that the French made no doubt, but that their Friend and Allie Hyder Ally Cawn, was then or wou'd be soon in possession of Madras, and that succours and Ships sent immediately from France, would soon reinstate the French Nation, and Extirpate the English, who had been Governed, since the Imprisonment of Lord Pigot, by People who knew little of the Police of the Carnatic, and attended to their own private Emoluments only, and not the Interest of the English Nation, and that the Governor of Mauritious had dispatched all the Ships of War he could spare to annoy the English on the Coromandell Coast, with some Officers for the use of Hyder Ally's Troops, reserving only a few Frigates for the Defence of the Island Mauritious and it's dependancies, that Money and Provisions ran short with him, but by the Accounts they had received from the Privateers fitted out from the Mauritious against the English who had been successful, He was in hopes that they should get a supply of Rice and Treasure, a Country outward bound China Ship and another from the Persian Gulph with large sums of Money and some Rice Laden Vessels from the Coromandell Coast, being arrived at Mauritious, which had put the Inhabitants into great spirits, as all of them in General were concerned in fitting out Privateers their Ownaries being subdivided into very small shares. On the News being whispered abroad, an universal Clamour arose in Leadenhall Market, and spread many Miles to the Eastward of White Chapel Market, crossed over to Deptford, rebounded through the Borough Market to St. James, and back again to the Old Stocks Market place, near the Mansionhouse, which Occasioned an immense Number of Ducks to Waddle into Exchange Alley for sale, Bull Beef, and Bear Hams were cryed in Baskets up & down Lombard Street, Cornhill. and Threadneedle Street, but met with few purchasers, as many people were affraid they rather smelled Rankish, had a bad flavour, and wou'd not re-sell amongst the Old Nabobians at the West End of the Town, for the Mynheers had the preceeding Month imported such a Quantity as had Glutted the Markets and reduced the prices they had sold at, at the last Lord Mayors Feast and the Country Elections. At which places several had been suffocated, owing to the Eand profusion convened of the Converging cast extracted from the Eastern Ores. The Clamour becoming so General and alarming, on Account of the East India Fleet having been reduced in Number on the Madras Station, by the return of the Bellisle, Rippon, and Asia to England, Unexpected His Majesty's Ship Monarque of 74 Guns was immediately dispatched Express to Commodore Johnston then on his passage to the Cape Good Hope, to lay aside the intended Expedition, and to dispatch the Men of War and Transports, with the Troops under the Command of General Meadows, to the assistance of Madras, Except the Romney and Jupiter, with which he was to return and Convoy the Homeward bound Ships that might be ready at St Helena; the Mercury Frigate of 28 Guns Capt. Prescott, had been dispatched to the West Indias, and the Active (arrived) was sent off immediately to acquaint Admiral Sir Ed. Hughes, and the Madras Government, of the new Orders received. Two Ships of 74 Guns were Ordered to take the latter Fleet of the East India Ships under Convoy. and to proceed thro' with them to the Coast, and wou'd be dispatched in a few Days after the Monarque. Col. Braithwaite, and Col. Nixon, with eleven Battalions of Sepoys destined against Negapatam, have had a Bloody Action with the combined Horse and Foot sent by Hyder Ally to assist the Dutch, the English kept the Field, came off Victorious, and took several Field pieces from Hyders people, who had laid waste the Country before the English arrived, which obliged the English Army to return to Tanjore for provisions. Adm. Hughes being disappointed in the Company's Troops, proposed (if possible) keeping his Station off of Negapatam, 'till the Transports and Troops arrive, as they are provided with Stores and Implements for Storming, as the Men of War can't come near enough to Negapatam to Batter their Walls; which have been daily strengthened with additional Works, since the English Fleet appeared, and had cut out all the Vessels lying in Negapatam Roads. Admiral Sir Ed. Hughes' Fleet intend spending the shifting of the Monsoons in Trincemalee Bay, the Dutch Troops are retired from the Town and Back-Bay to the Fort, on the Hill near Trincomalee Point. Commodore Johnston had taken five Dutch ships Homeward bound, Richly laden—they were lying in Saldahna Bay, being sent there by the Governor of the Cape Good Hope, on hearing of a Rupture with the English. The Active and Jason being sent by Commodore Johnston to Reconnoitre Table Bay, they discovered thirteen Sail of different Ships lying in the Bay, and fell in with, and Captured a Vessel with Treasure, chiefly Gold bound for Ceylon valued at Three Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling, from the Cape Good Hope. On Thursday Sept. 27th, Gen. Sir EYRE COOTE's Van, by a forced March, fell in with Hyder Ally Cawn's Army, celebrating the Feast of Vistnow, near Sheagar, Hircarrahs were immediately dispatched to the General, who marched the whole in two divisions, the Action began before Hyders People had time to Form, and our Infantry made great slaughter amongst the Enemy, the confusion was so great, finding themselves attack'd in three different Quarters, that great Numbers, and a General Retreat took place, our People pursuing them near two hours.—Lally the French Officer was first seen at the head of the Red Coat Cavalry, afterwards at the Head of the Green Coat Cavalry, both in great confusion. We lost one Officer Mr. Deacon, and about 30 Rank and File killed and Wounded. Hyder Ally is said to have lost upwards of Eight Thousand People. A Brass Gun formerly belonging to Col. Bailie's Detachment, was retaken in this Battle, which was more Glorious than the two former Ones, and had the English been assisted with Ten Thou-

sand Cavalry, a General and Total Defeat of Hyder's whole Army would probably have ensued. After the Battle two powerfull Rajahs left Hyders Camp, and joined the English, the Collastre, and Vencata Gurree Rajahs. An Order of Government is published, Ordering Rice to be sold at One Hundred and fifty Star Pagodas, or fix Hundred Company's Rupees Ex 400 per Garce, of nearly 56 Bags of two Bengal Maunds, but as so much trouble attends getting a Committee's Order to carry it from the Beach to People's houses, it is selling at three Pagodas per Bag, Unweighed at Madras, the black contcopoly's on being paid a Douceur of one Bag in Ten, find ways and means to get Rice passed into the Black Town.

C A L C U T T A. Extract of a Letter from Patna, dated 1 November. WE hear that the Governor General by way of testifying the sincerity of his lavish praises upon his Fellow Prisoners in Chunar Ghur, has conferred on Lt. Col. Blair, the rank of full Col. on Major Popham the Rank of Lt. Colonel, and on Capt. Blair, that of Major. We also hear that a Travelling Captain is shortly to be appointed to the Viziers Body Guard, it is thus he rewards one part of the Army, at the Expence of the other, and bestows the most advantageous Command in the Gift of Government, upon a Man who has no Claim whatever on the Service. The H. SIR EYRE C. will no doubt be highly pleased at this transaction by which several very excellent Officers, now serving with him in the severest and most important Campaign, that perhaps any Troops ever underwent in India, are superseded by Men who allowing them every Merit they can claim, and without in the smallest degree derogating from it, have been only employed in quitting a Civil Commotion exuted by imprudence on ourside, and carried on with little Vigour on the part of the Land holders at Banerass. 1st. Nov. appointed Cadets of Infantry Messrs Richard Llewellyn, Mm. Fleming, Brown. 5th Nov. do Cadets of Artillery, George Constable, John Wittit, Alex. Watkins, John Nelly, Wm. Fleming, Charles Hutchinson. Do Assistant Surgeons. James Wilson, John Fred. Syke Charles Brown and Wm. Dick. The Articles of the peace with Sindy were Signed on the 26th last Month, and the detachment under the Command of Colonel Muir, Marched on the 28th towards Cawn-pore, where they are expected by the 15th Inst. About the middle of Sept. last Aickball Ally Cawn who had for sometime been confined in Patna, having made his escape, retired to his Pergunnah bordering on the Currack Pore hills, and having assembled a large body of near 6,000 Matchlock men, he took possession of the different passes and Gauts leading into the hills and made frequent excursions into the lower Countries to the great detriment of the Farmers. To punnish this insolence and to deter others from following so dangerous an example, application was made to the Commanding Officer at the Din pore station who order'd Capt. Powell with about 300 Men to march immediately and disperse the rabble. They came up with the Rajah early in the Morning on the 27th and gave them a very complete drubbing. The loss on the enemys side was considerable that on ours only 7 or eight Sepoys Killed and wounded. He had no Cannon, but some Gin Jall Pieces which he carried away. Extract of a Letter from Beaty Ghur 30th Oct. 1781 WE are informed that if the Rannu does not agree to the proposals now sent her, Major Belfour with a part of his Regiment will storm to morrow morning, the Breach is practicable, but as the Rannu has threatned to blow up the place with every person in it, the moment our troops attempts to enter it from a Religious determination, to trust their souls to God and die with their Cast, in preference to surviving the loss of it.—This circumstance has alarmed us very much being well acquainted with the Religious determinations of those people, and in the present case may be strongly resolved on by them, having been informed that there is a very number of Women of the first Rank, or Cast in that Fortification—This has induced us to offer the Rannu 13 per Cent on all the Trasure and jewels &c. found in it, and to allow her to go to any part of the Country SHE may Chuse, and to have our protection, (providing it appears that she has not secreted any part of Chyte Sings Treasure. Major Popham some time ago sent her proposals, which were disaproved of by the Governor General from principals of genorosity and equity, as it would exclude the Officers from every advantage which they had an undoubted right to expect from so severe and dangerous a Campaign. Mr. HICKY, By inserting the following Description, of a Ball and Supper given at Chandernagore, you will oblige a Correspondent. LAST Monday Evening 5 November, was Given by Capt. Joseph Chaning, in commemoration of his Anniversary, a very elegant Ball and Supper to the Ladies and Gentlemen at Chandernagore.—

The Ball opened with Sam. Beachcroft Esq; and the Countess of Nuhoiloie dancing the first Minuet, which was followed respectively by the different illustrious Personages according to Precedency, the Minuets were succeeded by Cotillons, Country Dances, &c. and kept up 'till near 11 o Clock, when the President announced to the Brilliant Assembly that Supper was upon Table, and in the most sensible and polite manner entreated the Gentlemen to hand the Ladies. Some seconds after the Company had been seated, it was observable the profound silence that prevailed, occasioned by the Attention of the House being drawn with Admiration, to the Bautitul and Pastorial display of various Figures, Composed of Confectionary, exhibiting at different parts of the Table, groves wood bines Alcovis and a variety of other Rural scenes, which seemed to remind one of something in the Al Frisco Style. The Supper and wines were Superexcellent, and elegant y served up. ARGUS. On Tuesday Night last, there was a very splendid and numerous meeting at the H——, nothing could excell the Brilliancy of the Ladies dresses and Diamonds, excepting th animating lustre of their bright eyes, which kindled up such a promethean Fire in the youthful hearts of the young Beaux, as set them all in a Blaze, and cast an animating glory around the Ball-Room.——No Male heart escaped the all captivating Rays of their beautious Eyes, nay they thawed the frozen hearts of vertious old Age, none went free from the House, but a few cankered Hearted Contractors. The Ball ended about half past 12 when the Ladies (Gentle Creatures God bless them) retired to their different Habitations, attended thro' the Crowd of Servants some by their fond and loving Husbands, others by their languishing dying Lovers, who whispered a Thousand soft Things in their Ears, whilst handing them to their Carriages, & vowing an everlasting constancy, Obedience, and Love, and that Racks and Daggers, must be their only relief if they wou'd not take some pity on them.——Thus much for the dying Swains and Danglers——Whilst other jolly Bucks more free from the Bonds of Wedlock, or Cupid's galling Chains, remained behind to seek for charms in the sparkling juce of the Grapes, who like the true Sons of Bacchus and Comus kept it up until four and in all probality their happiness had continued until Sol on his journey toward the West had bid e'em good morning; had they not been disturbed by those two carping Sons of Momus who intruded themselves into their Company and had began to quarrell about the Batta of 500 S. Rupees this disturbance broke up the Company, and the altercation between those forded beings grew more violent on their way down Stairs.——One of those Gentlemen it seems had interest enough to obtain a very Lucrative Contract some time ago, and which it seems he had sold for a very comfortable sum to the person he was then disputing with, being confident that he would soon be able to procure a second for himself) the purchaser having refused to pay the batta of the 500 Rupees in dispute: the seller from his uncommon fondness for money grew immediately warm, and as soon as they reach'd the yard before the House they came to blows, the seller willing to take revenge for the loss of his money. (knowing that the affair would never bear a Scrutiny in a Court of Justice, he took aim at the purchaser, and hit him a well judged blow right on the Bridge of the Nose which in two moments almost closed up both his eyes, the purchaser on this finding his day-lights growing so dim and dreading the Consequence attending a total eclips of his Optical Luminaries, and having a great reason to suppose, that the alarming Catastrophe would soon take place, as he could then scarcely distinguish the looming of the sellers head, he was resolved to make the best use of his time, and by a well aimed blow with which he sent his Shoulder, he struck the seller such a Derier on the bread basket, as knoked him speechless and sprawling on the Ground. So violent a blow on an overcharged Stomach was attended with the following Catastrophe. This friend Master Tommy Colleybott a very harmless talkative lad remarkable for his love of dress tinsel and a Hooker was melted into compassion by seeing his friend on the Ground, very good naturedly stops down and lifts him up, the moving of the object set all the inward materials in full play the explosion took place, which in some respects (relative to noise and smell,) resembled very much a bung flying out of a blubber Cask at Green land Dock. which on these occasions are always attended with Noise and stench, just in this manner did the seller reward his friend Master Tommy by sending the whole contents right into his face, from whence it fell down in Large quantities on his fine Spangled waistcoat, silk Breeches and stockings and intirely over loaded his new fashioned, Grid-Iron shoe-buckles, Most deplorable was his situation he ran about the yard in a distracted state with his head reclined to avoid (but impossible) the horrid stench of his friends present, his arms he held out in a trembling position, and in short he ran about like an unfortnate fowl who had escaped suffocation in a stinking ditch Most Excellent News for Buckram the Taylor.

Continued from our last. WHEN those regular Pains that indicate approaching Labour, come on—the Assister must necessarily be sent for, as it is impossible to know the Moment of the Birth. When the Person arrives who is to assist, an Examination must be made by the Touch, to know whether the head presents fair. If the Examiner be a Woman, she will be satisfied with knowing that all is right—and will patiently wait near her, to be ready to assist when the Birth approaches—but if the Assister be a Man, his Examinations will be frequent, in order to digitate with Pomatum, under the Idea of dilating the Passage. In this Situation the Women may be, from one, two, or three—to five, ten, twelve Hours, or more—and if we except those Moments, during which she is under her periodical Pains, she is just as well as before the Labour seized her. I know a Lady, who has often been for twelve Hours, so much in Labour, (in Pain, every eight or ten Minutes) that the Midwife could not have ventured to leave the House for a Moment—and yet, so little in a Situation to prevent her attending to every Thing around her, that she came down Stairs, to Dinner—to Tea—and to Supper—sat at the Head of her own Table, with some Friends—and was delivered before Bed Time. Now Will any Person of the least feeling for female Modesty, say, that it is not grossly violated by a strange Man's being the Attendant of a Woman, for Hours—handling her, wherever he pleases, and for as long as he pleases—during Moments, when she is in a Situation to be as sensible of the Violations, as at any Period of her Life?—After the birth, she must be exposed to this Man's View, too—as well as Touch—if he pleases, while disengaging the Child, binding her round—and preparing her for Bed. I repeat it, does the Man's being called, Doctor—render those Liberties—those Exposures—the less Indecent?—Does it obliterate the Idea in her Breast—does it obliterate the Idea in his—that she is, a Woman—and that he is, a Man?—Can it remove those natural Sensations, to which it is no more in our Power to be insensible, than to add to our Height.? And even though for Argument's Sake, we were to grant, that no natural Sensations are excited, at the Time—will it be said that there is a Possibility to prevent Recollection, afterwards? When the Lady is recovered, can he look at her, without remembering her Person, and the Liberties she permited him to take with it?—Can she see him—without being conscious that he KNOWS her too intimately?—Has not that Gentleman, then a great many Advantages, of which, if he pleases, he may avail himself?—Has not the Ice, that might have obstructed his Way—not only been broken, but melted? With him, she may violate Virtue, indeed—but, with him, she cannot violate Modesty. Modesty, has already been sacrificed between them—the Victim has been consumed—and it's Smoke has been dissipated by the Wind! But this—though Heaven knows it is enough! is very far from being all. The Women who employ Men, receive Visits from them, at least during the last Fortnight, if not the last Month—and for the Month after Delivery. Nay—nine, out of ten of them, either go to their Midwife-Doctor, or send for him—some, at six Weeks after the supposed Conception—others, at two Months—three, four, five, six, or seven—to be informed if they are with Child? How far gone? Whether the Child lies right? Or if they are in Danger of miscarrying? or, from various Motives, best know to them, and their "dear" Doctors!" * And there are of these Men, who, do please! And—strange Inconsistency! there are Ladies who submit to all these scandalous Exposures, with surprizing Effrontery—whose Modesty, notwithstanding, would I make no Doubt be quite shocked, if, on getting off their Horse, or out of their Carriage their Petticoats stuck, and discovered their Knee!—What a Farce!—They would pretend to be ashamed to shew their Legs—and yet feel no Shame on shewing their***!!!
