Loyal Subject.

Mr. H.I C K Y
S 1 R,

THERE is a grievance of a particu-
lar nature, which affects all de-
grccs of the company* Servants, both
Civil, and Military, which it is ailoniih-
in^ has never been reipcctfully reprelent-
ed to the Gentlemen in Power, as I do
not conceive it poffible that Redrefs
c »uld be for a moment with-held — It is
the rate of Exchange at which Rupees
are iffued by the Company to alntcft all
their Servant;. —- Some years ago, when
the Current Rupee had a nominal Value
of above two Shillings Sterling, and Re-
mittances could be made at that rate of
Exchange it was no great hardfhip for a
hvil Servant to receive it as two Shil-
lings, or a Military one the Sunnaut
Rupee at half a Crown But Circum-
ftances have occalnsi this nominal va-
lue to decreafe con'Llerably, common
Juftice requires that a correfpoadent al-
lowance mould be made.

I: is well known that the 111 pre me
Council have for fweral years pad re-
ceive.I their Salaries at the rate of about
one Shilling and nine pence per Current
Rupee. Were this indulgence confined
to thole Gentlemen, the arduoufnefs of
whole (Vatioas demands every recom-
pence, no animadverfion would be of-
cred; but why in the name of Juifice
fnould it be extended to the Judges,
who are not Comoanys Servants, and
jwho hive li::le Claim, I tear to any In-
ilg.nw, finec it fliould fecm that it has
lb n their chief ftudy to diftrels the
IC ).npa iv's a if airs by every po.Tible

|t i mos.

Were any aditional argument requi-
Ifue to point oat the propriety of an al-
Iteration in this particular, I would offer,
Ich it the diicontinuencc of the Coinage
i ad Rupee?, except Sicca?, has ft ill
n-reafed this hardfhip laboured under,
[■> / caufing that Coin to be ul'ed in all
payment-, where formerly an inferior
pecies was ufed.-■

Tn hope of fpecdily ieeing an humble
i moderate Reprefirntation preferred
[i this SubjeSt, to thole Gentlemen 1:0
\ > n redrefs of wrongs is delight, I re-

LAST Monday Mr. John Endow,
Refident at the Court of the Vizier
of Owd was recalled from his Station by
Order of the Governor General and
Council and directed to return to the
Prefidency without Delay.——

Various are the Conjectures regarding
this extraordinary Meafure; It is how-
ever reported and generally believed that
Nat Chucklebead, Hollow Squib, (who to
avoid detection by the juft and true De-
fcription given of him when he laft
Arrayed from Lucknow, metamorphofed
himfclf by having his Tail cut off,
and his mifchievous mangy Plead Shav
ed clofe and bare) Monfieur M—0 the
French Fidler, S—e, the large African
Baboon (who has a handfome Penfion for
teaching Gumney headed Natt, and his
Gara Z-pofa, to ftraddle the great Horfe)
and the Reft of the Tribe not unlike the
Co npanv which are honored with He-
rat's Notice " sfmbubaiarum Collegia,
Pharmacopeia, Mending Mice, Bc.latrcv.es
&c. have been fome Months folicitng the
Gnat Mogul (the congenial Patron of
tk's motley, telfelatcd Crew) to remove
the above obnoxious Gentleman from the
Pr fence of his Bohfhip; forwhilftin that
offi e it would be impoffible to manage
even the trifling Plans of Peculation.
Confequentiy very difficult to execute
the extenfive, weighty Maneuvres of that
nature, without his obtaining a know-
ledge of them. •__ __ ...

It is alfo reported that the Mogul hirfl-
felf intends the Honor of a formal Vifit
to the Viziers Court.

The above intended" Vifit makes it be-
lieved, that the Great Mogul muft have
private Advice of a very pleafing nature
from both Coaits, and that he confiders
the public affairs of ids Empire to be
in a very tranquil fecure and flounfhing
fuuation-, otherwiTe Purely, his deferting
hisCapital at this; to appearance, critical
period, when we are at War witih almdft
almoft all the Powers of India and have
by the molt barefaced Imposition, Deceit
and Perfidy, made ail the reft our fecret
Enemies, and even at a time when it's
not improbable but a French Armament
may every Day arrive, and we are in ex-
pectation of a Rupture with the Dutch,
would betray the higheft fpecies of Mad-
ne'fs Imprudence, Want of Policy and
