H ICKY 's BENGAL GAZETTE; OR THE ORIGINAL Calcutta General Advertiser. ———— [ VOL III ] A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None, ———— 110 From Saturday February the 23d. to Saturday March the 2d. 1782. [ No. VI ] ———— Mr. H ICKY, AMIDST the great Number of Correspond- ents who have rais’d your Paper to a superiority over the other, I do not remember to have observed lately any of the Female Sex.—To a Woman of spirit the most intolerable of all grievances is a restraint on the Liber- ty of the Tongue. I cannot bear to see the Men have it all to themselves, and shall certainly burst if I am not permitted to put in a word, much has been said of lite about War and Peace; Affidavits and Corruption; Grievances and Apprehensions. Now Sir, I want to enter the Lists with one of the most celebrated of your Correspondent—Here I throw down my Glove, and am in hopes it will be taken up by AMBULATOR, the Author of the sooksagur Masquerade and Concert. Some People may perhaps blame me for meddling with this formida- ble Author; but he has no right to find fault—for he has been the ag- gressor by making such frequent in- cursions into Scandal, the natural province of the Women. However, I will do your Corres- pondent AMBULATOR the Justice to say that I think him a very witty Writer, an excellent drawer of Cha- racters, and, indeed, upon the whole, I have not seen a prettier fellow upon Paper. He has proved himself an Adopt in just remarks and satire—As to his attacks, they are irresistable; no tainted Character can stand before them, he is the very butcher of base reputation "Heaven preserve the Characters of all my tribe from AM- BULATOR. In the art of exaggeration he has no equal; molehills he magnifies in- to Mountains and Views your small- lest piccadillo through a double mi- croscope. —Should there be the least spot or speck on your reputation, AMBULATOR can spread it out (with the help of a few drops of Ink) till it covers you all over, and makes you as black as a fiend. —Witness my poor friends the Ornamental Lawyer and Cerherus. —In short, AMBULATOR is Chief Japanner or Caluminator General to the settle- ment. —He besmears indiscrimi- nately with his very best blacking. I wish he would make as distinguish- ed a figure in the sweet work of pa- negyeick as he has done in the pain- ful talk of calumny and detraction. Various have been the conjectures formed in the question. —"Who is this AMBULATOR.'—I have heard at least ten persons named whom sus- picion points the finger at; nay I have been assured at different times that each of them was the Author in question. —They could not all be the Writer; perhaps none of them is. — But in spite of all the curiosity which is imputed to our Sex, I declare sin- cerely that I would not give a pin for the secret, —It is indifferent to me who the Man is, and whether he was first dipped in the Thames or the Tweed, the Lissy or the Shannon. But though I cannot tell who am- bulator is, I will tell you what he is like. Ambulator, is like a superior Race Horse who walks over the Course alone, no one venturing to start against him. —I have for some time had a violent inclination to en- ter at the post although I am sen- sible the odds at starting would be greatly against the filly; but for all that perhaps I should be up with him at the long run. —But I have run out my simile, and therefore must beg leave to take a fresh one. — your paper Mr. Hicky is become the grand humorous Cockpit of India— and AMBULATOR struts about it like a Cock whom no body can match; suppose that I were pitted a- gainst him, how do you think the betts would go? And what are the odds that he does not come off hen- pecked? If I should happen to got the better of him it will be as much a matter of public wonder as the fa- mous affair of the hen in Scotland Yard, who attacked a prodigious large Kat that was carrying off one of her Chickens and after lighting a con- siderable time, killed the Kat to the great joy and surprise of the specta- tors and besides how great will be the honor accruing to our sex from such a victory. —It will be recorded among the famous exploits in the annals of female prowess and I shall be ranked with the most renowned heroines of antiquity, Thomyris and Semiramis, Judith and Deborah Lavinia Languish. ———— Mr. HICKY. SIR, THE Idea entertain'd by many in the Settlement, that any Man will do well enough for an Officer, is both false and absurd: To be really every thing that com- prehends on Officer, the Man who enters into so Honorable a Professi- on, should possess at least a decent Education, Manners, and Address, not to mention other Grand Requ- sites, such as a Knowledge of Forti- fication, Gunnery, and Mathema- tics: How far these necessary Qua- lifications have been attended to, by the People that have for some time past been admitted into the service, speculation can melanchollily relate. To make an Officer from the most laborious and mean Employments in the Settlement, is very speedily and easily done, but to make an Officer what he really should be, a Gentleman, is not so very easily to be accomplished, as we seem to imagine. Our public streets and Assemblies ascertain the Point at once, if this Remark is not suffici- ent, let those that doubt it, be con- vinced from their own observation, the first public Meeting there is in the Settlement, First by a strict ob- servance of their first En [ILL]ry into the Room, their Bows, Department, and Address for the Remainder of the Meeting. I don't affirm they will knock you down, a clown may be civil, but cannot be well bred. — In Europe, Officers in general, are Company for their Sovereign: Here, I must solemnly declare, there are Number, that I would not allow to be the meanest dependant in my Suit. The only consolation we have left, (and, one woul 'd imagine seems to be our boast) that there is not a Meohanic under the sun, but what can be called forth at a mo-

ments warning, strutting and groan- ing in Regimentals, from caulker of Boats—to one of the sons of A- pollo, lately admitted into the ser- vice, what Ideas these Gentlemen can have, that recommend such peo- ple, I will not take upon me to de- termine, but I possitively assert, the Man that stood behind my chair yes- terday, in a menial capacity, or founding Low B—behind my door, Should not the very next be transformed into a Gentleman (God bless us all at once) and become my companion immediately at that very Table, he only the day before at- tended at.—I shall say nothing of those who impose on Government, and the Commander in chief, by recommending such unworthy ob- jects, let their own Feelings punish them for having betray 'd their Pa- trons and Friends, to commit such glaring outrages on the Army. A volume could be written on the Impropriety of Officering the Army with such men, but as the evils com- mitted cannot be remedied, nothing but a long parliament of Courts Mar- tial can weed the Tares from the Corn: so very contemptible does the Army appear even to some of the Handicraft of Calcutta, it is a known fact, that a very violent dispute hap- pen 'd lately, between one of these Gentry, and a youth recommended to his care whether—he should be created a Cadet and a Gentleman, or bound Apprentice to a Capital Smith on the south side of the Tank,—The Youth from strong Natural Argu- ments, carried his point in favor of a Smith, alledging in his own vul- gar language—how very impossible it ever could be for him to make an Officer, much more a Gentleman, totally divested as he was, of all kind of education, so much, so as heterm'd it, that he did not know—a B—from a Bulls Foot. A Friend to the Army. L. ———— To V E R I T A S. I Have this moment read the Ben- gal Gazette, wherein you, in an allegorical manner, insinuate that the Ornamental Lawyer acted a selfish part in negociating the famous Coali- tion.—I was at Calcutta at the time it took place, and doubt the fact.— For can it be supposed that a person of that Gentleman's known disinter- esteaness integrity and high sense of honor would lend himself openly to effect such a measure—particularly as the terms of the Agreement operat- ed strongly against the Credit and in- terest of his friend Mr. F—,with whom I always understood, he lived in the most intimate and confidential footing.—It cannot be—I cannot suppose him capable of such a con- duct.—But, Mr. Veritas, left the Public should be so uncharitable as to give credit to your strange and improbable Story,—I doubt not but a certain great Man will clear the Learned Gentleman of all foul suspi- cions by assigning his real motives for having nine Months ago, bestow- ed on him a Contract for four Years said to be worth a Lack and a half of Rupees per Annum. CAN DOUR Patna 16th February. ———— MR. H ICKY. YOU are desired to acquaint the Ornamental Lawyer that there is no occasion for his vapouring in the Polite and Select Paphian Society, (vulgarly called COMUS'S COURT) and else where that he wishes to know the hand from which the history of the Sooksagur Masquerade and Con- cert came as the Author, whoever he is, can surely have nothing to ap- prehend from the resentment of a Man, who, as public same says, in a dispute he had with his present bosom friend and trusty Squire, vali- antly returned a CHALLENGE un- open 'd. Philo Ambulator. ———— AS the curiosity of the public has been for some time fruitless- ly excited to discover the Author of the Sooksagur masquerade, it will pro- bably be agreeable to your readers to be informed of the real source and culture of that celebrated production, as well as many others of a ludicrous nature.—.—Be it known to you then that, the Orna- mental Lawyer throws his ideas toge- ther that his trusty Squire licks them into order, and that in this state, they travel to the next door neigh bour Cerberus, who gives them the last touch before they are sent to the press. This I believe to be a fact, for the two following forcible reasons. 1st. Because these Gentlemen are perfect masters of the ridiculum acre and 2dly Because they have made use of that stale finesse of abusing themselves to cover the true Authors and throw the suspicion upon Gentlemen who detest foul scandal, as they do the pitiful craft of the head of this blessed triumvirate namely the Ornamental Lawyer Uboohoo-upo' my Shoul dear joy, such a trick is too much on the brogue.—It puts me in mind of your Countryman Father Foigard in the Stratagem, who endeavoured to pass himself for the Son of a Burgo master of Brussels, and being charged with going to school at Tipperary, cried out, by way of triumph, no, no joy, it was KILLKENNY. Curio. ———— Mr. H ICKY, ADVISE your malicious and Scurrilous Correspondent Ambulator to be silent.—He is discovered and known to be a fawn- ing spaniel of an obscure breed with- out blood or qualifications to be staunch. He has what the world calls a white liver, and is a natural cow- and, though an Irishman. Tell him that if he makes his appearance a- gain in print, I shall certainly expose his Bobadil like Duel at Madras: Mustard ———— Why is a lawyer like a prostitute? BECAUSE they seem zealous for you without affection, feign pleasures that they do not feel, and smile more from habit than sensation. Because they are open to every dirty fellow that require them, take you in with facility, support you for a fee, often ruin you with a single stroke, and frequently rob you wilst they serve you. ———— CALCUTTA. INTELLIGENCE EXTRAORDINARY. IT is confidently reported that the Au- thor of the incomparable Burlesque Mas- querade is at length discovered and that in a few days, his name will be made known.—It is said the Public will be surprised that a Gentleman, who is so eminent for his Abilities and Virtues, has never been suspected of being the Author of so much poignant wit and pi- quaint humour. Mr. L—, who has been strongly suspected of being the Author of the Masquerade, was the other day, by a Lady of distinction, called upon to de- clare whether he was the writer of it.— To whom he made this reply that, " If " he had been capable of writing such a " production he certainly should have " the spirit and vanity to avow it—but " he was sorry to assure her that he could " not claim the merit of being the Au- " thor of it." An old Correspondent informs us that various and ineffectual are the enquiries of many HIRELINGS regarding the Wri- ter who signs himself AMBULATOR—not- withstanding the ORNAMENTAL LAWYER has offered a reward of five thousand Rupees to any person who will produce the Author. Another Correspondent tells us that the Ornamental Lawyer has been heard to say that he knows the Author of the masquerade, and that nothing can deter him from punishing such a malicious and felonious Robber of private Characters Bravo Sir—thou art incapable of fear, or in the other words thou art grown, all of a sudden, the boldest man alive, nay even bolder than thyself. Quere: Does this magnanimous Hero wish for an opportunity of wiping out the stain of his cool behaviour on Chenltry plain? or does he speak in the language of his great Ancestor JULIUS CÆSAR, who is drawn by SHAKESPEARE.

" I rather tell thee, what is to be fear 'd "Than what I fear, for always I am Cæsar." We are assured that the late resolution respecting the Bijah Gur prize Money was passed chiefly to varnish over the liberality of Sir Francis Wrong head, and not with the persuasion that the Captors can be compelled to refund. In a Company; a few days ago, where the conversation turned upon the Cormo- rants enormous profits on the Madras Supplies, the THANE declared that it was a shameful and barefaced Job, and that the Agent and his accounts ought and shall, in a few days, be dragged before the Board. BON TON INTELLIGENCE. "The report of the Marriage between —and TURBAN CONQUEST is with- out foundation.—It seems the day of their nuptials was fixed and the affair made public to the friends of both parties.— On the eve of the weding, however, the Lover changed his mind and decamped without beat of drum, to the astonish- ment of his intended bride, on whose conduct calnmny itself had not attempt- ed to fasten the smallest imputation. We are infor men from another quarter that the lady actually refused to marry him, and rebuked him severely for having at- tempted to impose upon her in so very tender a point which had such an effect on his nerves that he immediately retired to his Gardens;—where he has ever since wore the willow. As soon as the unhappy lover, had taken wing to his Gardens his rival Pig- danny Durgee took the field a fresh, and was seen that very day with the insolent fair one on the Course.—However, it is said that her Guardian Pomposo, previous to his granting Mr. Durgee permission to renew his addresses, in- sisted upon his under going the same se- vere scrutiny which the Pope does upon his election.—A Committee of three Ladies is accordingly to represent the Cardinals and the experiment is to be performed by Messilina, who is a Lady of great experience and has the most de- licate touch. We have good authority to contradict the report of the world—be a beau Garc- on 's going to Europe this Season.—The truth is that the kind, oblivious and good natured Mr. Bilious, as a testimony of the sense he has of those high honors con- ferred upon him by the BEAU GARCON, has invited him to spend a few months at M—R.—The generosity of Mr. Bilious does him peculiar honor and ought to be recorded as an instance of his high SPIRIT. An old Patna Correspondent informs us that there is at this time in Calcutta a purse proud Esculapius, who ought to be carefully avoided by all Gentlemen who have wives, it being his constant practice to endeavor to find favor with the Mar- ried Ladies by artfully insinuating that the husbands is guilty of neglect con- tempt, effeminancy or something perhaps that ought not to be made public here— This he Keeps buzzing in their ears con- tinually until he succeeds, or what is the same thing to him, till he has, in the eyes of the world effected the appearance of an intrigue. Altho' he is positively illiterate and has the manners of a bour- geois Gentilhomme, yet he imagines him- self a Chesterfield in every respect, and is, by many; reckoned the first man in Bengal for female confidence. Extract of a Letter from Madras dated 10th February. SIR Edward Hughes after taking Trincamalay on the 5th; arrived here two days ago.—Lu Lang of the Navy and 18 Marines and Sailors were lost in storming the Fort.—Two Dutch homeward bound Indiamen richly laden with spices and two Lacks of Dollars were taken in the Harbour; and are brought here.—The Amount of the capture is said to be 30 Lacks of Rupees. Captain Benneveaux an excellent Officer; is left to Command.—Captain Alms with 3 Ships of the Line and a Trans- port with General Meadows and 500 Troops on Board arrived in the Roads this Afternoon.—The other Transports and Indiamen are daily expected under the convoy of Don Carlos a 64 Gun Ship. Gen, Goddard's Secretary was graci- ously received t Poonah; and it is thought a peace is e 're this time conclu- ded with that Government. We have this moment received ac- counts that a French Fleet consisting of eleven Ships of the Line, four Frigates, and 8 Transports &c. are off Pulicat. Extract of a Letter from Mr. Gid Hour dated Maddepollam 13th Feb. 1782. THE alarm are this you must have had; of Fleet being off ramnapa- tam. I am sorry to say proves to be the French, by letters from Nellore near that place they were at an Anchor the 8th Instantand consist of 30 Sail great and small they were employed in taking the small craft passing and repassing unloading then and Setting them on fire a most fortunate circumstance It will be if they remain there three days so what the News may get to Madras where there are 400 fail when perhaps some of them may escape. ———— ARRIVALS.

M R, HICKY having been in- formed that some Gentlemen did for their own private satisfaction, take down the Notes relative to, and, during the Trial or Trials of the said Mr. HICKY last June, in the Prosecutions brought against him the said Mr. H ICKY by Warren Hastings Esq; Governor General of Bengal.— And that the said Warren Hastings Esq; Gov.

However, let this matter pass, Since 'twas not Esop 'tis agreed BUT APPLICATION made the Ass. ———— To ARISTIDES on his two excellent Political Letters.
