Mr. H ICKY.
SIR.
You are requested to insert the following
intelligence and Dialogne.
PADDY Whak the Or-
namental Lawyer, Char-
ley Bullock, and Coun-
sellor Fleece them, have
effected another very
Hon 'ble pitch battle between their
old friend Mr. Give Contract, and
the Patriot Genius of INDIA the
Champions are to be pitted very
soon, MR. GIVE CONTRACT is
under the tuition, and feed of Paddy
Wh[ILL]k, who we hear diets his little
friend upon the White meat off the
breast of fowls souced in Vinegar,
supplies him with Large quids of sugar
candy, and runs him round the
Large [ILL] about fifty times every
morning in order to make him Long
winded.
The Little Man they say has re-
monstrated strongly against the ine-
quality of the Match, setting forth a
strong plea in bar; respecting the
smallness of his Limbs, the length
of years he has been in this scorching
Climate, and how much he is amaci-
ated: How very muscular and active
the Patriot is, and the absurdity
of his attempting to face so powerful
a Man.
Paddy Wh[ILL]k dreading the great
loss he and his two Coleagues would
sustain relative to the by bets and re-
freshing fees, (was the little man to
decline the combat;) pats him on the
shoulder with one of his Mutton sifts
which be the bye covered almost one
half the poor little fellows back,
and with the following blarney Oil
he cheers up his drooping spirits.
Arrah my dear little Mr. give
Contract how can you be after
doubting the verasheety, of fat I tell
you. I must allow that this shame Pa-
triot is a strong fellow, but you
have gave him a very good palthoag
already upon his Noggin, which has
staggered the saucey tees, and you
mussit follow your blow and hit him
two or three polthoags more, if you
will do this now my Jewel by the hand
of my body I'll be bail for it that you
will knock him down. And as to
your being little you ought not to be
discouraged at that a tall at tall, for
it is not the biggest Calf that makes the
sweetest Veil, (pardon the Compar-
ishan my jewel,) but it is very true.
Why I must confess reply 'd the
little Man (somewhat nettled) that
there may be some truth in what you
say on that head, as you have given
the world a coovincing proof of it in
your own clumsy person.
Arrah now my dear jewel between
you and I, and our own two selves
and the post, that, is neither here nor
there, nor any place else a tall at tail!
and that notwithstanding all that,
you shall find that your old friend
Paddy Wack will stick as cloosh to
you as the shirt you have just taken
off your back, all I want is that you
shall give this Tees a hearty polthag-
ing, until he promises he will never
trouble his head any more about
what is done in dear Bengal a tall a
tail. Is it not a very hard case that a
Jontle man like me can't get a good
fat Contract from his friend, but
this dam fellow with his foolish ho-
nesty must make a History of it? That
all the people in England may have
it in their power, to say that such a
Man got his Fortune so, and for and
then the Proprietors of East India
stock, and the DAM 'D PARLIA-
MENT will be after overhauling of
us my jewel, and making us refund
what we got by Contracts and sine-
cure places By my own shoul my dear
I don't half like that same thing cal-
led refund; augh my jewel it is fifty
times worse than the sinking fund.
All I want my dear little give
Contract is that you shall lay this fel-
low on his back and then there will
be nobody to tell stories of your own
paddy Wack.
Give Contract. — But Mr.
Whak I dont see how this can be
done? Be may knock me down in at-
tempting of it.
Why now my jewel I will be af-
ter telling you, for it is as easy to ac-
complish as the peeling of a Prata.
All you have to do is to fill both
your sifts with good dry Lattitat
Snuff, which my worthy friend
fleece them here shall procure for
you:—As for my part I shall continue
behind the Custain calculating the
proof is of my little pretty Hauthies,
did I say profits,—why upon my
shoul it is all nothing else but
profit.—And when you come up
to him, that is to say, before he can
reach you with one of his flog ham-
mer blows.—You must dab the snuff
in your left hand right into his eyes;
and should that not prove sufficient
to blind him, why then my jewel
you must give him the contents of
your right hand, which will totally
blind him, this being accomplished
you must then get behind his back
and knock him down.
Give Contract.—I beg leave
to ask what necessity there will be
for my going behind the mans back
when he is blind, as bean knock him
down as I stand right before him land
must beg leave to say that I think it
would be very soul play, highly
dishonorable, and repugnant to the
English Laws.
By the Vartue of Grana Wale my
jewel it is for your own safety that I
give you this advice, for if that fel-
lows eyes were entirely out of his
head he wou 'd never give out and
should he get a Gripe of your small
Carcass he would never let you go
until he squeesed the Life out of your
Body.
And in respect to soul play upon
my own Concionce it is the greatest
folly in the world to mention it.—
pray is not all the play which we prac-
tice here foul play?
And as to Honor, and dishonor are
not we the fabricaters and propagators
of them both? you know my dear it
jewell that the most dishon'ble things
we can call Hon 'ble, providing it
brings us a Lack or so; And as to
what the world calls Hon 'ble if we
find we can get nothing at tall at fall
by it, why sure and Sartain we can
call it a dam dishonorable beggarly
thing.
And as to Law; tho' I came out
here to watch how it was sold, and
retailed out, why you see the Devil
a care I take of it a tall, a tall, But
leaves it to take care of it self.

If this Saucy Tees the INDIA PA-
TRIOT, was tied down upon his
back, and a padlock put upon his
mouth,—why then shure and sortain
I might get two or three good Con-
tracts more,—and faus eigh of
Gold Mohurs, then I will be after
going home to chambroague shire
and set up for a Member in turteen
Parliaments.

ADDRESS.
CITIZENS and fellow Subjects permit
me to Address you this day with
heart-felt Joy, and lay before you the
following lines.
The Hon 'ble the Lords the Kings
Judges of the Supreme Court of Judi-
cature at Fort William in Bengal
the Hon 'ble Sir Elijah Impey, Lord
Chief Justice. The Hon 'ble Sir Robert
Chambers. And the hon'ble Mr. Justice
Hyde. Having from Mr. James August-
us Hicky 's Circumstance, been humanely
inclined to admit him this 7th Day of
March 1782 to plead in Forma Pauperis
in the defending of four fresh Actions
brought against him this Term at the
suit of Warren Hastings Esq,
And be it further known to you my
Country men and fellow Citizens that
the plaintifs Council Mr. Davis did
make a motion and plea in Bar, of Mr
Hicky's Types being exempted from a
Seizure, Setting forth that the said
printing Types did constitute and form
a great part of the said Mr. H icky 's
property, and hoped their Lordship's
would not protect the said Types from
being seized upon should judgement
be obtained against him the said James
Augustus H icky in the above mentioned,
Causes.
This motion the hon'ble the Kings
Judges strongly opposed as repugnant
to the British Legislator and Constitution
and treated it with that contempt it so
very justly merited.
Their Lordships to their everlasting
Honour be it spoken did in a very
Learned and judicious manner expatiate
on the Rules of Pauperism, wisely and
Legality established, from time immem-
orable, calculated for the protection of
the Subject.
Their Lordships were pleased to ob-
serve that had not the Laws very wisely
included the paupers utensils in the oath
of Pauperism, (tho' he was not able to
pay the debt for which judgement had
been obtained against him) yet the uten-
sils of his profession might be Seized for
the Lawyers fees and Court Charges and
the poor Man Left to Languish and Ex-
pire in a jail for the want of those very
utensils so seized, by which he could
support himself and family.
Every British Subject and every lover
of his Country I hope will join with me
this day in graceful acknowledgments
for the very eminent and permanent
service rendered to their Country and the
British Subject in this corrupted season,
and in this distant part of the Globe, to
the Hon'ble the Lords the Kings Jud-
ges, of the Supreme Court of Judica-
ture in Bengal, for their having on
Thursday this seventh day of March in
the Year one Thousand seven hundred
and Eighty two; and in the twenty first
Year of the Reign of our Sovereign
Lord George the third by the Grace of
God King of Great Britain and so forth.
For having crushed and nipp 'd in the
bud a base and vile attempt made by
Mr Davis—to violate and break
thro' the Law's, of their Royal Sovereign
with intent, to answer the base and vile
purposes (of a few) to ruin and oppress
his Majesty's most Loyal Subjects in
this distant part of the world.
Thus by protecting the Types, they
have protected the Liberty of the sub-
ject, and the Liberty of the Press.
JAMES AGUSTUS HICKY.

TO AMBULATOR.
YOU are a barbarous bloody mind-
ed Gladiator, and a destroyer of
peace and good fellowship.—No—Orna-
mental.—pay no regard to him reserve
yourself for more important occasions
Preserve yourself to flatter Sir Francis
—out of another Contract.—
As you have imitated may of the old
Romans in declining an appeal to cold
Iron, let not, this goth, Mr. Ambula-
tor, prevail It freezes up one's
foul.—Still imitate the ancients, There
were no private duels among them. Tul-
ly fought not with Anthony.—Demost-
henes would not fight.—Why should
the great Ornamental Lawyer.—No, Sir,
you are fuga mutuendus costis, more
dangerous than a parthian your trusty
squire vainly imagined your feelings to
be something like his own, and that
Courage, openness and generosity con-
stituted a great part of your Character as
as they do of his.—you may well tell him
that he did not know you.
Casuist.
————
Mr. EDITOR.
I Hear the ORNAMENTAL LAWYER has
resolved, like a man of true spirit,
not only to return blows for blows, but
to resent all attempts to banter or ridi-
cule him as the highest affronts.—I also
am informed that he has assured the
sprightly Members of Comus's Court
that he has as trusty a truncheon for the
purpose of defending any attack which
may be made on their respectable Socie-
ty as any man needs to handle.—Lord!
Lord!—what a terrible creature is this
same tremendous Lawyer.—For my own
part, I shudder at the very thoughts of
him—My blood runs cold in my veins,
and my pen shakes in my hand, whilst
I am transcribing his denounciations.—
Methinks I see him, CHEVALIER-LIKE,
clad in Armour mounted upon a pranc-
ing steed, throwing down his Gaunt-
let with a speech of defiance—but I
hope my youth will protect me from his
wrath and that he will discharge the o-
ver flowings of his valor on those who
are better able to bear it.—Were his
friends GEORGE and CHAR LOTTEE (God
bless them) to hear or his entrepid and
magnanimous conduct, they would surely
raise him to the exalted rank of an Irish.
Peer—which Honor he would grace as a
Sow does a saddle.
WORMWOOD.
INTELLIGENCE EXTRAORDINARY.
A Gentleman who was present lately
during a conversation between Sir
Francis—and the Thane, informs
us that the latter talked and reasoned
very sensibly and forcibly upon the
present critical state of india—but alas
his arguments are [ILL] too late.—Like
Hotman in Oroonoko, he can ony
course—but can't conjure—He may
however cry out with ferapion in all for
Love."
"Egypt has been."
Some people are candid enough to
declare that a certain personage deserved
so well for his humane and just conduct at
Benares that he ought to receive the
honor of Knighthood.
An Officer declared lately in a, large
Company that many of the Dictators
attendants, up the Country benefited
very handsomely by their Trip, and
that one person, in particular, got at least
Seven Lacks of Rupees by his influence
and secret management.—Stephen Shallow
was present and laughed very heartily.
A few days ago arrived in town Mr.
G—m upon an Embassy of importance
from Madras—He directly waited on the
DICTATOR—was most graciously received
and had the honor to kiss his band.
A Correspondent, who signs himself
Lex Talionis, says he wants either a lucra-
tive office or Contract, and having heared
that there was lately a certainty of success
by depositing a little Cash with one
Stephen Shallow, he should be glad to
know whether the stream continues to
run in that channel, or whether it has
has chosen itself another bed.
The Cormorant's profits on Rice &c.
are said to be so shamefully enormous
that it is impossible to calculate, with
precision, the amount of them—but
some estimate them, up to this date, at
Five Lacks of Rupees at least.—O! ye
Proprietors of India stock,—when will
ye cease to be the Dupes of the Authors
of your ruin.
Cherley Bullock, who has gained im-
mensely by the Marratta War, says seri-
ously it ought never to be given up.
It is said that the late extraordinary
appointment of Mr. DIXON, to the Of-
fice of searcher for Bullion in the Port of
Calcutta, was owing to the great plenty
of specie brought into these provinces by
our successful War against the Marrattas
and that contemptible Enemy Hyder Ally.
We are sorry to acquaint the Public
that Charley Bullock's Goutty disorder is
grown more alarming than ever—being
now fixed in the upper part of his head—
which the faculty deem a very dangerous
symptom.
We are desired to assure the friends of
the Ornamental Lawyer that he would
have replied to the several penygericks,
with which he has lately been honored—
but that he is out of Town.
————
BON TON INTELLIGENCE.
WE hear the Patna Esculapius is so
much piqued at the title of
Bourgeois Gentle benime, which some peo-
ple injuriously bestow on him, that he has
declared his intention of quiting the
unfashionable and envious society of Cal-
cutta and setting out immediately for

M—r where he is engaged to assist
the salubrious air of that place in help-
ing a female friend to a pregnancy.—A
noble resolution and example truly!—
and worthy or a man of his established
gallantry.
some Weeks ago, when it was reported
that Nat Chucklehead, was to quit his
station, a Gentleman asked him a quest-
ion regarding some new Regulations
which were in agitation.—It is
time enough, replied Nat, consider of
them when my Baggage is sent on board
my Budge row.—A wag who sat by said
(very archly) which of your Baggages do
you mean?
Several Correspondents highly disap-
prove of many of the pasquinades pointed
at Jack—and observe that natu-
ral deformities are not proper subjects
for censure and ridicule. The deformity
of Pope, say they, was no reflection on
his merit, not is—present con-
dition to be imputed to him as a crime.—
Whatever his vanity has led him to at-
tempt in his imperfect state.—surely the
late praise in print must have afforded
the young lady's Guardian and Community
ample satisfaction for his presumption.
The Irish Cub, being the other day,
after dinner, called upon for a sentiment,
gave Miss Ad—n His titled sister
immediately blushed for his ignorance and
recommended it to him to learn man-
ners and modesty.
The Trusty Squire being; the other
night at a Ball, seen discoursing very
familiarly with a certain Lawyer.—Jack
Easy asked the squire how he could po-
ssibly countenance a man of the Lawyer's
Character and principles,—To
which the Squire instantly replied."—
" A C—W—* is the kindest and
" most forgiving animal living and there
" is more joy in heaven over one finner
" who repenteth than over ninety nine
" just persons who need no repentance.
Jack Randy observes that the welch
method of bundling, before the marriage
Ceremony, would be a much more ef-
factual mode of guarding against the
impositions mentioned in our last paper
than the proposed examination by a
Committee of mations—He further adds
that this or some other precaution ought
to be adopted immediately, as he does
not recollect to have seen in the course
of eighteen years, such numbers of
things of the Epicene gender in breeches
as now swarm at all the public places of
resort.—
A few days ago was held a Jubilee at
Pomposo Hall in consequence of Turban
Conquest's having at length evacuated
her Breastworks to Pigdanny Durgee—
Idea George and Jack Marplot honored
the convivial meeting with their pre-
sence.—
Brother Jack addressed a Lady in a
public Company a few nights ago, and
told her he was informed that she had
mentioned him as a very likely person
to be the author of the Sook sagur Mas-
querade—On which the Lady, with a
great deal of good humour, patted him
on the head and said,—Indeed, my good
Boy, there is nothing in it.
The facitious major having paid a cer-
tain great personage the compliment of
asking him whether it would be agreeable
to him to have a masquerade instead of a
Fancy Ball—was answered—"I have no
" objection, provided you do not suffer
" it to be similar to the Sook sagur
" Masquerade and that you contrive to
"satisfy my faithful Chimney Sweeper
" and his spiritual Brothers"—To which
" the Major replied—"Sir I will be an-
swerable for it's not being a witty Mas-
" querade, and as to the Reverend Gen-
" tlemen,—I can easily find their
" price—I shall send them TICKETS.
CALCUTTA.
News rectived from MADRAS by the
True Briton dated 24th Feb.
ON the 15th the French Fleet
passed Madras.—The even-
ing of the same day Sir Edward
Hughes followed them.
The French Elect consisted of 9
Ships of the Lines. 3 fifty Gun ships
2 forty Gun do 2 36 Gun Frigates;
1 Armed Sloop and 11 Transports
with about 4,500 Troops on board.
The Ises came up with the Law-
ristone a Transport with 450 Troops
on board and took her.—After
taking out 200 of her Men, sent her
with a Lieut. and 12 Seamen to
Madras, together with the Union
Country Ship and Assia snow which
the Ises had retaken.
The French Line of Battle
ships crowded all the sail they could
to get away from Sir Edward Hughes
and left their Transports in great con-
fusion to shift for their selves.
By the latest accounts received at
Madras, our Fleet had come up with
the French and were then engaged off
Allamparva.
Mons. Darion Commanded the
French Fleet, but died on the 6th.
off Pulicat, and the Command de-
volved to Mons. Suffrain,—They
had taken our Hannibal from En-
gland in the Latt. 4 North.—Also

Lacks of Rupees on board, and the
following Country Vessels, The U-
nion, the Betsey, the Mary, the
Fortune, and Asia, besides, a great
Number of Donies Laden with
Rice.
The 2 Dutch prizes were arrived
safe at Madras.
And it is also currently reported
there, that Hyder Ally before he
heard of the Arrival of the French
Fleet, Had destroy 'd Chittore and
some other Forts, and was then
blowing up the Walls of Arcott.
The Union laying at some distance
in Madras Roads after she was sent in
there by the Isis, was cut out by the
Ballona a 36 Gun Frigate, who pas-
sed the Roads the following day
with the Chaser which she had ta-
ken to the Northward after an En-
gagement of one hour.
By the latest advices faom Madras.
WE learn that Sir Edward
Hughes was engaged with
the French Fleet on Sadrah, and
that five of the enemy's Transports;
with about 1700 Troops on board
had fallen into our hands.
The General Opinion is that we
have obtained a complete Victory o-
ver the French But as it wants
confirmation at present we hope to
have the pleasure of publishing a more
satisfactory account of it hereafter.

An APOLOGY.
ZEALOUS for trust, and careless
of applause.
We find no fault while Britain has no
cause.
Statesman, we know, are necessary
things
To please the worst, and serve the best
of Kings:
But under the best King we must
complain.
If all his virtues, and his views are
vain:
Vain, for this reason—that the cour-
tier strife,
Is, who shall best succeed in private
life;
Av 'rice and pride extinguish thirst of
fame;
This wants a fortune, that a titled
name:
Not churchmen from the charge ex-
empted are,
Who market from the mitres they
would wear.
'Tis private all;—the public is no
more!
Hence Britain's arms prevail not, as
of yore;
Hence grow new fruitless debts, the
old unpaid;
Hence all our schemes and councils are
betray 'd;
Hence projects are essay 'd by means
unfit,
And subject rises for—SARCASTIC
WIT.
