HICKY warm'd with patriot fire, Had he been there, A cover to his heart would soon to wear: But when his merits with a Jail are paid, The son of freedom is in Masquerade. LIBERTAS. A Bobadil-like Duel at Madras.— "AND was the puny, prating P—p—m slain? O no—brave Sir John and P—p—m did but feign: Doubting, some months, if it were wrong or right, At last they did resolve like men to fight; If the astonishing account is true, They met, they talk'd, they drew, and then WITHDREW. Anti—Bobadil. Mr. HICKY. SIR. I RECEIVED with great pleasure the News of your Victory, over that engine of state Counsellor Fleece'em respecting your invaluable Types. I happened to be in a Company of twenty Officers when your paper was delivered to me.—It was immediately read and every Gentleman at Table was overjoyed at your success.—Your fortitude in the cause of Liberty will at all times and in all places render your name precious to Englishmen, particularly The Company's Servants;—and the ample justice which must be done you hereafter, in a public and distinguished manner, will indemnify you sufficiently for the hardships you have undergone—How pleasing it is to reign in the hearts of your fellow Citizens.—you deserve to reign in them—you have nobly supported their Rights and they will hereafter crown with applause the Champion of their Liberty—your present quiet and peaceable demeanor does you infinite honor, and your generous and patriotic principles will render your name immortal.—England will be surprised at your patriotism in this land of despotism and will admire the one and rejoice at the other—I heartily felicitate you on this glorious Occasion and join my congratulations to those of all the friends of the human race—which was certainly never intended to wear fetters.

III.] A Weekly Political and Commercial Paper, Open to all Parties, but influenced by None. 114 From Saturday March the 23d. to Saturday March the 30th 1782. [No. X] A COVETOUS LANDLORD. A FABLE. A Certain Farmer had one choice Apple tree in his Orchard, that he valued above all the rest, and made his landlord every Year a present of the Fruit of it. His landlord lik'd the Apples so well, that after a while nothing would serve him but transplanting the Tree into his own Grounds. It wither'd presently upon the removal, and so there was an end of both Fruit and Tree together. MORAL. All covet, all lose, says the Proverb, which is a good Moral to the Fable. REFLECTION. This is the true case of many a covetous Man: Like the Dog snapping at the Shadow, he is not content with the good he possesses, but endeavouring to get more, loses what he had. The Landlord's Pride and avarice would not let him owe an Obligation to his Tenant, and so he robs his Tenant, defrauds himself, and loses the Fruit and the Tree for ever. A MAN of QUALITY and a LION, A FABLE. A Person of Quality dream'd one Night, that he saw a Lion kill his only Son, who was, it seems, a great Lover of the Chace. This Fancy ran in the Father's Head to that degree, that he built his Son a House of pleasure, on purpose to keep him out of harm's way; and spar'd neither Art nor Cost to make a delicious retreat, which however, in the main, the young Man consider'd as no other than a Prison, and his Father, who confin'd him to it, as his keeper. Among the Paintings which adorn'd this little Palace, was the Picture of a Lion, which he viewing one day, and being incens'd to think that he should be kept a kind of Prisoner for the sake of a silly dream of such a Beast, he made a Blow at the Picture; but striking his Fist upon the point of a Nail in the Wall, his Hand cancerated, he fell into a Fever, and soon after died of it: So that all the Father's Precaution could not secure the Son from the Fatality of dying by a Lion. MORAL. Superstitious Minds are often punished in the way they most dread: the very Means which we take to avoid an apprehended Evil, when we rely too much on our own strength or Prudence, without trusting in Providence, are often made use of to bring it upon us. REFLECTION. 'Tis to no purpose to think of preventing or diverting Fatality, especially where the event is to be the punishment of a fault, as often it is, as with those who shorten their Lives by forebodings and dreams, or the Signs of ill Luck, as we use to say; they are still anxious and uneasy. History is full of examples to illustrate the Doctrine of this Fable. The Father was to blame for laying so much Stress upon a foolish dream, and the Son was little less to blame for being so much transported at the Impression of that Fancy of the Father: But they were both justly punish'd however, the one for his superstition, and the other for his Passion. A DOG and a WOLF. A FABLE. A WOLF took a Dog napping at his Master's Door, and when he was just about to worry him, Alas! says he, I'm as lean at present as Carrion; but we are to have a wedding at our house within these two or three Days, that will plump me up with good Chear; and when I'm in a little better Case, I'll throw myself in the very Mouth of you. The Wolf took his Word, and let him go; but passing some few Days after by the same house again, he spy'd the Dog in the Hall, and bade him remember his promise. Hark ye, my Friend, says the Dog, whenever you catch me asleep again on the wrong Side of the Door, never trouble your Head to wait for a Wedding. MORAL. 'Tis good to provide against all Chances, both sleeping and waking if a Man cannot be too circumspect, provided his Caution do not make him too solicitous for his Peace of Mind. REFLECTION. Past Dangers make us wiser for the future: As the Dog, after he had been snapt at the Door, had the wit to lie in the Hall; which tells us, that a wise body is not to be caught twice by the same snare and Trick. His promise to the Wolf was a kind of a Dog-Case of Conscience; and the wolf play'd the Fool in taking his word for that which he had no reason to expect he would perform. Extract from a Europe Paper. The duel between Count Rice and Viscount Barre, and the fatal consequences that attended it, excited the curiosity not only of the people of this country, but also of France, from whence they came hither. Many reports, and very different to each other, were spread concerning it, and it was impossible to know which was right.—A Correspondent, who was at the Trial of the Count at Taunton, has favored us with the evidence thereon, which we lay before our Readers, with pleasure, as we think it will be matter of entertainment, and as it was delivered upon Oath they cannot doubt the truth of it. THE first witness called was Mr John Cadby, a Surgeon at Bath: he said, he was waited on the 18th of November last, in the morning between two and three, by a Mr. Rogers; that he was then in bed, but got up and let him in, who desired the witness to go with him: he asked where, and on what business: it was a dispute between two Gentlemen whom he then did not name; to which he answered it was a business he did not choose to be concerned in, and repeatedly refused to go. Mr. Rogers said, it was only in his profession, and no harm could arise to him; he then complied CALCUTTA Printed by J. A. HICKY, First and late Printer to the Hon. COMPA. Y.

and went out with him, did not re-collect any thing particular passed till they came into Horse street, when Mr. Rogers told him a coach was waiting at the top of it with Count Rice and viscount Burean in: he got in, and soon after discovered from their voices that Count Rice and Du Barre were there? he knew them, having frequently seen them together at Bath. Du Barre then asked Mr. Cadby if he understood French? he answered no. The coach was then ordered to drive to Bristol by Mr. Rogers; they drove that way, but when they got on the Old Bridge, the coach was bid to drive to Claverton Down He observed Du Barre was very impatient for the combat, and Mr. Cadby then said to Mr. Rogers, it was an unseasonable time, and if any accident should happen they would be looked upon as assassins: he said though he did not understand French, yet, from the actions and behaviour of Du Barre, he saw his impatience and eagerness many times. Mr. Rogers proposed driving to the Down-house, and there to wait till Day-light (the Down-house is a public house) the Count Du Barre objected to going there, and desired Mr. Toole to inform the Witness, Mr. Cadby, that if he was Wounded or hurt he need not fear to take a large quantity of blood from him, though he had not eat for over 1 hour. Mr. Toole interpreted this to the Witness, for the Count Du Barre spoke in French. A conversation having passed between Count Rice and Du Barre) Rice asked Mr. Cadby what the laws of this Country were respecting dueling? He answered, he understood the survivor would be obliged to take his trial. When they got on the Down the Coach was ordered to drive to the left, and at a little distance on the Down Du Barre stopped the Carriage, and appeared to grow particularly impatient to get out to fight; he was with great difficulty over-ruled by the seconds, and seemed very much out of humour. The Count Du Barre continued speaking, and Mr. Rogers desired the drivers, if they saw two or three Men on Horseback to inform him of it. The Coach was then ordered to drive gently round the Down, which it did slowly till it got between the Down-house and the Stand; Mr. Rogers then stopped the Coach, complaining of being sick, he got out and soon returned in again. The coach staid there till a quarter or half after six during which time du Barre appeared much discomposed by frequently looking out at the window and starting. As it grew lighter he discovered two swords under the Count du Barre's great coat, who frequently desired they would drive across the Down, saying, it was quite light enough, and repeatedly desired to fight. The Coach was ordered to drive across the down; it did so, till it came near a wall where some fir-trees, were. As soon as the coach stopped, Du Barre got out from the further side of the coach a- [ILL] swords with him; they then all got out, the witness last. The witness then asked Mr. Toole, whether this could not be made up: Toole said, he thought it impossible; he believed they must fight. Mr. Cadby then got into the coach again resolving to know nothing of the matter; he afterwards got out again and went over the wall among the trees, where he saw the parties walking from him in a straight line about 80 yards off; there they stopped, as he thought about 15 minutes; all four then came close together and seemed violently agitated, going to and from each other; he then observed two of them go from the others. The Count Du Barre went about 20 or 25 yards; as he was going he observed Rice take off his coat and waistcoat, and put on his coat again without the waistcoat the Count Du Barre stopped about 20 or 25 yards off and took off his great coat. Till the time they got up together he did not know they had pistols and did not see Rice had any arms. Du Barre turned round and faced Count Rice, when each advancing a few paces the deceased fired a pistol; Rice then fired his first pistol; and the deceased appeared to him to stoop or crouch, and went two or three paces back. He then heard an exclamation of oh! but does not know from which of the two. The deceased immediately came back to his ground, and each seemed advancing; when the deceased fired his second pistol (as it appeared to this witness). Rice then fired his second pistol. As soon as he heard the explosion he observed the deceased to drop on his breech. He immediately got over the wall and ran to his assistance. He found him lying on his face and dying. Count Rice then said, for God's sake, if you cannot serve that poor man have compassion on me, for my thigh bone is broke; that he was faint and should fall; he then leant on the witness, who let him down easily. He examined Count Rice and found he had received a wound on the upper part of the right thigh on the outside; he dressed it and got him in the coach as soon as possible, with the assistance of one of the postillions. Mr. Toole and Mr. Rogers (whom he considered as the seconds) said they would walk to Bath, and left them. The Count Rice then asked if the body could not be removed somewhere. He told him what he then thought right that the body should remain where it dropped till Coroner came. He then sent a postillion to get somebody to sit by the body, and returned to Bath with two horses to draw the coach. He got the Count to town with great difficulty. The wound, though not necessarily mortal, must have been very painful. Wm. Stevens, a waiter at the Three Tuns, said, that on the 18th of November last, about two in the Morning, Mr. Rogers and three other gentlemen came to the gate Mr. Rogers called Philips the name of the master of the house the waiter then let them in and shewed them a room. they ordered a chaise and four he observed to them that they could not all go in a chaise; a post coach was then ordered to be got ready as soon as possible and all the four got into it. James Williams, a postillion, proved, that when the Gentlemen were in the coach they ordered him to drive to Bristol, they went that way till they came to the bridge foot, then ordered him to turn to the left to Claverton Down, when they came on the Down he was bid to walk gently round, which he did, till he came to a house on the Down, and then went about 100 yards further, it was dark and one of the gentlemen got out and soon returned in again, they then got off their horses, and walk'd about three hours: one of the gentlemen, as they walked by, let down the window: about half past six they were ordered to drive towards the wall of the Down, and accordingly did; when one of the Gentlemen got out, but does not know which; the others followed, the gentleman himself opened the door who first got out; he saw them go to the other side of the Down he went over the wall to see what they were going at, and placed himself against the wall, and saw the gentlemen all together, as he thought they stood a considerable time, and then saw one of the gentlemen pull off his great Coat, and then the other pull off his, and saw one step forward, he believes to measure the ground, and then saw the other two walk to the place to fight heard two pistols go nearly together he could not tell which was first he then saw Rice bend and thought him wounded, another pistol was then fired, and up Barre fell. Count Rice called for the Doctor immediately on Du Barre's falling, the Doctor went, and when he had done with Count Rice one of the Gentlemen called for the carriage; they went with it and drove round the dead body: he helped the surgeon to get Count Rice into the carriage. One of the Gentlemen asked him if he could get any body to stay with the body. He then took one of his horses and went to the Down House, but could not get any body there but two women and asked them to go, and they went immediately. He rode up again to the body with his horse but first informed the Surgeon he had got somebody to stay with the body: he left the two men with the dead body and came home. He found the pistols and two swords on the Down; there were six pistols; he examined them, and found three loaded and three unloaded; one sword was drawn, and one not drawn; the pistols lay scattered; the drawn sword lay near Count du Barre; the undrawn sword lay near where Count Rice stood; four were horse pistols, two screw barrel; three of the horse pistols were discharged. Jonathan Batten, the other postillion, corroborated his evidence entirely. Count Rice called Jean Baptiste Le France to prove the hand writing of Du Barre, to a paper-writing dated the 17th of November, 1778, acknowledging himself indebted to Count Rice in 1710 Louis d'Ors, for which he acknowledged to have received speci. Judge Nares and not Baron Hotham, as mentioned in the papers having summed up the evidence, pointed out to the Jury, that the crime in the eye of the law appeared to be Manslaughter, but they brought in their verdict Not Guilty; and on the second indictment by the Coroner they were in doubt, and asked the Judge whether they could not bring it in less than Manslaughter? when his Lordship said if they were satisfied in their minds that he was not guilty, they would bring it in so accordingly. Serjeant Davy, who with Mr. Batt was counsel for Count Rice there were none for the prosecution informed the jury, that the difference of the verdict would affect the prisoner much in the world and among his friends and connections, and they therefore brought him in Not Guilty. Count Rice had the King's mandate in his pocket to stop any sentence that might have been passed upon him in consequence of the [ILL] he [ILL] on his trial is said to be very elegant and affecting, which with the graceful manner that he delivered it, so wrought upon his hearers, that there was scarce a dry eye in the Hall; even the Judge dropped a tear.

POET'S CORNER. The following elegant panegyric on acting considered as an art, and contrasted with the poet, painter, & sculptor, is extracted from Mr. Sheridan's admired Monody on the death of Mr. Garrick. THE Actor only shrinks from Time's award; Feeble tradition is his memory's guard; By whose faint breath his merits must abide, Unvouch'd by proof---to substance unally'd! Ev'n matchless Garrick's art to Heav'n resign'd, No fix'd effect, no model leaves behind! The grace of action---the adapted mien, Faithful as Nature to the varied scene; Th' expressive glance---whose subtle comment draws Entranc'd attention, and a mute applause; Gesture that marks, with force and feeling fraught, A sense in silence, and a will in thought; Harmonious speech, whose pure and liquid tone Gives verse a music, scarce confess'd its own; As light from gems assumes a brighter ray, And cloath'd with orient hues, transcends the day! Passion's wild break---and frown that awes the sense, And every charm of gentler eloquence--- All perishable!---like th' electric fire But strike the frame---and as they strike expire; Incense too pure a bodied flame to bear, It's fragrance charms the sense, and blends with air. Where then---while sunk in cold decay he lies, And pale eclipse for ever veils those eyes! Where is the blest memorial that ensures Our Garrick's fame?---whose is the trust?---'tis yours! And O! by every charm his art essay'd To soothe your cares!---by every grief allay'd! By the hush'd wonder which his accents drew! By his last parting tear, repaid by you? By all those thoughts, which many a distant night, Shall mark his memory with a sad delight! Still in your heart's dear record bear his name; Cherish the keen regret---that lifts his fame. These beautiful lines appear to considerable disadvantage without the contrasted passages.---The whole is a jewel highly polished, and set with equal art and delicacy. CAPTAIN Joaquim Jose Vasques begs leave to acquaint the Ladies and Gentlemen of Calcutta and the Public in general that his China Cargo Imported pr. ship St. John will be exposed for Sale on Tuesday next 5th Instant at the same House occupied by the first Captain of the Santa Cruze next to Mr. Briggs and opposite to Messrs Burrell & Gauld Consisting of the following articles.
