Mr. H ICKY. SIR. I PERCEIVE by the Pa- pers that it is in Calcutta double the crime to speak severe truths of a Man in power, to what it is told,—espe- cially when he can create places of 4 or 6000 R's per. Month and his conscience will neither hinder him from giving them or others theirs, from accepting of them. In short man I would advise you to tack a- bout, you have a strong example be- fore you in your brother Printer, who is publickly known to be one of the most Infamous and contemptable tools of them in power, to have dis- carded every narrow nation of honor or J—y; short to deem nothing binding that the law will not abso- lutely compel him to; and has by those amiable qualities acquired such influence and interest, that his pa- pers are exempted from paying Post- age, when even the Company's Let- ters and packages are directed to do it, in order to increase the Fees of the Post Master General—I would recommend you to try what Panegyric will do; never mind no opposite to truth: nay indeed the more so, the greater reason you have to expect reward. Suppose you was to print in proper colours the great distresses of the Company in these parts and the Coast abut the time of Col. Monson's death, their want of Money, their universal discredit, the in samy of the Character of the Eng- lish name in all parts of India! And then in flowing nervous language des- cribe the happy turn affairs have ta- ken, especially for these last two years! adding that with our increase of wealth, there is an increase of œconomy; that no Offices are crea- ted, or admitted of, but such as ab- solute necessity requires, that all con- tracts are made upon the most advan- tageous terms for the Company and in the most public manner; in short that now there is a glorious change, that Wealth, Honor; Justice;, Fame, and Credit, are the companions of the English name in all the coun- tries of the East, This of course must lead you to the Great and wor- thy Creator of all these Blessings but what words will you find to do Justice to the immortal Character? —indeed I despair of your success, there, therefore would recommend your applying to the Poets; and where you find a Character of their Imagination, which they have drawn as an example and decorated with e- very amiable and elegant accomplish- ment, supported by equal Virtue— you may justly apply it to your Hero. Wishing you may see the matter in the same light as I do, and exert yourself on the occasion I conclude Sir, your humble Servant, N. Q. P. S. If I find you succeed and draw your colourings strong.—there are some other Characters in my Eye that I will send and who will afford your Genius nearly equal scope with that of our Hero's, ———— Honest Judge Hales opinion of the LIA BERTY OF THE PRESS—applied to the very severe and extra ordina- ry case of Mr. HICKY. IT is absolutely Essential to the very existence of a FREE Govern- ment that the SUBJECT should have full Liberty to declare his PRINCI- PLES and OPINIONS; and every act which tends to Coerce that LIBEETY is Tyrannical and injurious to the Community. The PRESS is the Medium through which Opinions are disseminated a- mong the People.—It is the Consti- tutional CENSOR, and controller of Princes.—The accuser of bad Mini- sters—The scourge of Arbitrary Rulers and Check of Mercenary Judges—The most efficacious instru- ment for rousing and forming the PEOPLE (for whose welfare along Laws are enacted and subscribed to by the People themselves) to resist DESPOTISM.—The LIBERTY OF THE PRESS is of such infinate con- sequence that if the LAWS and CON- STITUTION were attempted to be overturn 'd and the People (of course) ENSLAVED; a Man of spirit with a FEE PRESS, might soon restore the one and redeem the other; without is the Bravest People cannot long pre- serve their Rights and Liberties from violation. Personal Satire against corrupt and Ignorant Rulers and those Tools of Power who Gorge themselves (in In- dia) with the vitals of the Proprietors claims attention, and support because it is written in defence of the PUB- LIC, it appears Arm 'd by the Sword if Justice and encouraged not only by the voice of the People, but by the principles of MORALITY. ———— EPITAPH in Hallifax Church. HERE lies interr 'd a zealous grave divine. Meek, loving, lov'd, only with siti as strife; Who heard him, saw life in his docuring ships.

Who saw him, heard sound doctrine in his life; And in the same cold ded here rests his wife: Nor are they dead, but sleep; for he ne'er dies That waits for his sweet Saviour's word Arise. ———— Fort St. George 19th December 1781. To Mr. HICKY Printer of the BENGAL GAZETTE. SIR, AS it is currently reposted here that Mr.———— and Miss————are shortly to be Married, the high Estima- tion I have for the Beautiful part of the Creation, obliges me at this Time, from Common humanity to offer my ad- vice to her at this very critical period of her Life, and if possible to save her from the ruin she very unthinkingly is going to bring on herself, the Gentleman while here, I had frequent opportunities of being in Company and conversing with and if I may Judge of his disposi- tion as a Bachelor, this Amiable Lady has every dreadful Consequence to ap- prehend from him as a husband, to Marry a Clown may be a trespass against opinion, but to Marry a Monkey and a Fop is a sin against Nature, with the Charms and disposition the Lady poss- esses the road which leads to honor and happiness is open to her view, and sin- cerely do I hope, no Tinsel show will induce her to depart from it by design, Ill advised Beauteous Girl, will gilded frippery give inward peace of mind. When every other requisite is wanting to render the Marriage State truly happy? let your own good sense act for you on this important event of your life, and well consider what you have to lose, and what to gain; by this detested Match; balance your determinations with reason, and as- certain, what future happiness you can expect by such an Union, Attachment, (you can have none) Love may for a little time blind you against his four, Crabbed, and very unhappy Temper, but le me entreat you, not to suffer your seri- ous deliberations become an Act of folly If you do, my pity is all I have to give you, for the remainder of your life will be misery and reproach, without consul- ting one of those pernicious Friends that has advised you to ruin, Act my dear Girl for yourself, and discard him im- mediately, if you hesitate a moment you are lost for ever, and make the whole of his persuits, what you ought to have done long ago. The Ridicule his preten- sions, or in other Words, impudence de- serves, keep your Charms for some no- ble Generous Youth that will be sensible of the treasure, and render you that hap- piness they merit. A Man on ill terms, with himself from an unhappy figure, will never do for, Nature never intended that the Rose should wither by Nettles. I am Sir. Your very Obed. Servant. J. H. G. ———— To Mr. HICKY, Original Printer of the Calcutta General Advertiser, SIR, AMONG the variety of Witty and pleasant Bon Moss, you have entertained your numerous Readers with of late, I think the fol- lowing, made by a Gentleman, at that time residing within the Vicinity of Bellgram no disparagement to, neither for humour or Poignancy of Wit.— "Colonel******** having invited some Gentlemen to sup with him at his Bungaloe, situated in a Tope, which was about the distance of a mile from Cantonments, then at Bell gram: the distance together with the baren and desolate aspect of the lands (intersected with hollow grounds) giving the adjacent part of the Country a very wild and dreary appearance, naturally induced one of the Gentlemen in Company to ask the Colonel.—If he ever saw any Wolves within the precincts of his Bungaloe?— "Yes (replied the Colonel) I sometimes, see them in Sheep's Cloathing," Barrack poor, 8th January 1782, ———— FRAGMENTS. " WHEN I see good men dying of- ten, while worthless fellows are suffered to live, I feel the force of that passage in the psalms most emphatically—The Lord wish eth not the death of a Sinner". To nibbling of critics, like the mites in Cheese, depreciate a work to some, but enrich it to others. Quere? Men tire themselves in pursuit of rest. The reply of Callisthenes to Alexander may be here applied—Was it Callisthenes or—? Not material—though some literary blockheads would perhaps make a bustle about it. It is an impious prostitution of the sa- crament, to administer it to the adul- terer, the oppressor, or as a test, merely by way of qualification, for some tempo- poral office. Those only should be ad- mitted to the communion who qualify themselves for the next world—not those who receive it solely for this. Titles of honour are like the impressions on coin—which add no value to gold and silver, but only render brass current. There is no such thing as real happiness in life. The just est. definition that was e- ever given of it, was, A tranquil acquies- cence under an agreeable delusion. —I forget where. I have known many men who have worn out what little sense had been born with them, long before their deaths—but yet, having been trained up in office business, or some mechanical trade—as the Army or the church—continue to pass through them still, like children in a go-cart, without either suspecting them- selve, or being detected by others. If you slice off the head of a turkey- cock, after it has been once set a running, it will continue to keep striding on, in the same stalking gait, for several yards, be- fore it drops. I have known several people pass through life, plausibly enough, with as little trains as an Leadless turkey ceek. Monsieur Sanction, in his life of Tamerlane, says, that in a certain Per- sian nation, of the province of Chauvat- sam, the people are all born with a mu- sical voice; and that the children moan or cry in the cradle is perfectly melo- dious. This must be owing—for I would al- ways rather account for, than dispute, a thing—to the peculiar situation of the Country, which may possibly have the effect of modulating the air. In hilly Countries, the elastic spring of that ele- ment communicates a certain shrillness, or sharp accent, to whatever sound it reverberates. In Wales, the dogs bark with an enpiercing tone—and perhaps with a progue, as Mrs. Digherty says, in Ireland. The last words that Nero uttered, af- ter he had done but justice on himself, were—O what an excellent harper dies this day! My Taylor in London used to let his pipe flow all day, by way of lulling him- self with the sound of a water fall. That dukes would be ministers of state! And that cobblers should keep holy days! In the Rabbinical accounts of the Jew- ish trails and punishments for adultery there is one very curious Particular: They gave the woman a potion, com- posed by the Priest, called aqua zelotypis or the water of jealousy. —If she had been guilty, it poisoned her forthwith—with- out benefit of Clergy. But if innocent, it increased her health and fruitfulness. What fine juggling there must have been here! [To be Continued.] ———— INDIAN METHOD of curing a SPITTING OF BLOOD, communicated in a Letter to the late Dr. Mead. THE following case is a very extraors dinary one; but I know the gentle- man to be a man of veracity, and had this account from his own mouth. He was of a thin hectic constitution, and had laboured under a troublesome pulmonary cough for some years; at last he was taken with an hæmoptoe, for which he had the best advice he could get in Mary- land, but grew rather worse under the care of two Physicians that attended him for several months, and at last he was prevailed on to put himself under the care of a Negro fellow, who is the Ward of Maryland; for he has the reputation of performing some extraordinary cures, tho' nature has the chief claim to them; but indeed this was not the case here: In short he advised the gentleman to go into a warm bath twice a day, and sit up to his chin in it for two or three minutes at a time? And as soon as he came our, to dash cold watter several times on his breast. This method soon relieved the gentleman; and when I left Maryland, which was about seven or eight years after the cure, he remained free from his hæmoptoe, eased very much of his cough, and went through a good deal of exercise. ———— ON SYMPATHY. WHAT does this sentiment inspire? For this I know full well, You above others I admire, Nor can the reason tell.

You with another I have seen, To you my passion flew; In worth your equal he has been, But did not please like you. I love by instinct, nor know why I am so wond'rous kind To you; to him when I apply I no emotion find, You conquer: though he yields to you In no point of desert; I can no odds between you view, But feel it in my heart. ———— CALCUTTA, Extract of a Letter from Madras Dated as the Mount the 20th Dec. 1781. H YDERS HORSE are con- tinually harassing and scouring the Skirts of our encampments; nor is the Road between the Camp and Madras paable, without an escort from the Army.—Most of the Officers who could obtain permission are gone to Madras, in order to e- quip themselves; and I am sorry to say that Many of the Gentlemen who have neither money, nor interest in that Quarter to get any; encounter as many difficulties there, as they did when in the Field. The un hospitable treatment they experience from the inhabitants here is beyond description; and instead of assistance which they might reason- ably expect, every door is shut against them. Some Vessels with provissions have already been intercepted, and it will be a Miracle, if the whole of the fleet bound for his place is not taken, for I do not hear that any steps have been taken by Government to pre- vent it. NO Accounts received of the arrival of a French Fleet on the Coast. BY Letters from Vizagapatam we learn, that a French Privateer of 18 Guns, has taken 80 Donies laden with Rice from Madras. It was said the Rice would be ransom- ed at the rate of 2 Rupees a Bag. The Governor General is gone to Lucknow, in consequence of the com- motions in that quarter. WE ARE informed that there is a French Sixty Gun Ship, and a Frigate of thirty two Guns now Cruizing of Point Godewar, near the Entrance of the Bay of Ganjam, and that they have taken 15 Donies Laden with Rice, intended for our Garisson at Fort St. George, Madras, and we are apprehensive (that unless some immediate Steps are taken by Government to prevent it) they will take every Rice Vessel bound from Calcutta to Madras, the consequence of which may prove fatal, to great numbers. THE FOLLOWING APPOINTMENTS and REGULATIONS have been made by ORDER of the GOVERNOR GENERAL and COUNCIL. MR. WILLIAM BLAIR Surgeon, is to accompany Mr. Anderson in his Expedition to Powna. The Troops on Detachment in the different Districts on the Zemindary of Beneras, are in future to be under the Command of Col. Blair. Major Popham with his Regiment is ordered to join his Brigade at Berham- pore. Captain William Davey is appointed private Persian Interpreter to the Governor General. Captain Robert Frith is appointed Aide camp to the Governor General. Captain Hawk shaw is appointed to the Command of the 1st Battalion of the 10th Regt. of Sepoys. Col. Tottingham who was superseded by Col. Blair has got his Original Rank Standing in the Army. WE ARE informed that Counsellor Har grave is appointed, junier Putsne judge of the Supreme Court, of Judic- ature of Bengal, and is now on his pas- sage hither.

POET 's CORNER. A TRANSLATION of LATIN VERSES, From the ARABIC. MY boy, the glasses hither bring, Present the balmy treasure; More briskly pour it round the ring, And pour it without measure. Wine can lovers pangs assuage; Wine allays the cares of age. The wine is like to ruddy Sol; The cup, of hue so mellow, To portly Cynthia, fair and full, Courting her lordly fellow. Brisker rouse the ruddy light; Pour on wine to make it bright. What though, in beauty's transient hour, The roses loss their blushing? Above, the purple nectar pour, And strow them fresh and flushing. Let Philomel forsake the grove; Wine inspires the song of love. Heed not fortune's scornful frown; In bumpers drown all sorrow, Sleep, soon, shall all our wishes crown, And crown them till to-morrow. Bring round to me the nectar 'd stream, Wine inspires the golden dream. How sweet the genial flush of drink! Larger draughts give larger pleasure: Sit we till we cease to think On aught besides our mellow treasure. My friend by jovial; right or wrong, We'll drink our glass, and sing our song. MUSÆUS. ———— CHORUS SONG in the Comedy of EASTWARD HO, revived by the New Name of OLD CITY MANNERS. By Mr. BANNISTER. PUSH the jovial bowl about, Ere we part, we'll see it out, And wit and mirth shall reign, boys; Many cares, we all may know, And many hardships undergo, Before we meet again, boys. CHORUS. Yet hand in hand, By sea or land, When met we'll sing and roar; And, left our joy Dull thoughts destroy, We'll laugh and think no more. North or South, or East or West, We'll have liquor of the best: For where so 'er we're bound, boys, In the bowl our joys shall swim, And, while we fill it to the brim, They ne'er can run a-ground, boys. Yet hand in hand, &c. Life is like the present hour, Mark 'd with blended sweet and four, Our time flies swift along, boys; Like a bowl of punch is man: And now discover, if you can, The moral of my song, boys. Yet hand in hand, &c, ———— The following Lines were sung by DURAST- ANTI, when she took her Leave of the English Stage, The Words were in haste put together by Mr. POPE, at the earnest, Request of the Earl of PETERBOROW. G ENEROUS, gay, and gallant nation, Bold in arms, and bright in arts: Land secure from all invasion, All but Cupid's gentle darts! From your charms, oh who would run? Who would leave you for the fun? Happy soil, adieu, adieu! Let old charmers yield to new. In arms, in arts, be still more shining; All your joys be still increasing; All your tastes be still refining; All your jars for ever ceasing: But let old charmers yield to new: Happy soil, adieu, adieu! ———— A Burlesque of the above Lines, by Dr. ARBUTHNOT PUPPIES, whom I now an leaving, Merry sometimes, always mad, Who lavish most when debts are craving, On fool, and farce, and masquerade! Who would not from such bubbles run, And leave such blessings for the fun? Happy soil, and simple crew! Let old sharpers yield to new; All your tastes be still refining; All your nonsense still more shining: Blest in some Berenstad or Boschi, He more aux ward, he more husky; And never rant, when these are lost t' us, Another Heidegger and Faustus. Happy soil, and simple crew! Let old sharpers yield to new! Bubbles ill, adieu, adieu! ———— An ENIGMA IN this happy nation, for justice re- nown 'd, Where places, and pensions, and honours abound, 'Tis strange that a subject, so honest and just, So faithful as I am, so true to my trust, So strict in obeying the laws of the nation, Should want that respect to much due to my station. I the King's and the Magistrate's power support; I protect, without boasting, both city and court; Yet my name's rudely mention 'd (so hard is my fate!) No honours attend me from small or from great. Indeed at my levee, sometimes I must say, Great numbers resort, my assistance to pray; They know my good homour;—that I'm always inclin 'd To do justice to all, for the good of mankind. I courtier-like never affect to delay, But their business dispatch, and to send 'em away: And those, who my clients peculiarly are, Are sure my attention and service of share; Nay, tho' to my presence reluctant they come, By my care they're made quiet, and sent easy home: But that which excites my just indignation, My assembly's composed of the sum of the nation. Ah! why should the rich and the great ones thus fly, And shun my acquaintance, thus scornfully shy, When, to do 'em strict justice, I'd gladly comply. Methinks I'm ambitious; I long to create A closer connection 'twixt me and the Great;— This shyness is wrong, ye Great Ones, believe me; [I'll receive ye. I know your desert;—with willing arms WANTED.
