PAT .7 lOTIC TO THE COMMITTEE, dm GENTLEMEN, Ttioucti I have a large family, which Ilaitn4 froin ine the stciaesi economy, yet the interests of . that family d eman d t h at I s h ou ld strain everftierve to ensure for them those means of subsistence,, which depend on the independence and prosperity of 'this Country. In the catalogue of Patriotic Institu.. tions, there is not a plan so well adapted to this great ohjeft, as the Fund which you have esta blished. While it prompts the dower classes to deed s of bravery and loyalty by the assurance that they will be neither unnoticed nor unrewarded, it is eminently calculated to prove to our Enemies the extent of our resources, and the sincerity of our zeal. These considerations induce me to beg the favour of you to accept, .for the Rev. Dr. VALPY, and eleven children (five guineas each) 631. which the bearer will pay. I understand that a Female Subscription, of 21. 2s. each is opened. If the.money is left with you, he is commissioned by Mrs. VALPY to add her mite. I have publicly proposed to the Inhabitants of Reading a Subscription to your Fund. Their in. clination is excellent, but 1 fear few will be able to contribute, as their liberality has lately been amply exerted in a Subscription for Cloathing Volunteers ; and other local objects, which ought to be con: aideted as collateral with those of your institution. That your patriotic exertions may be insti/- 11101 W ire rousing the energie s of the head, and the sensibilities of the heart, of our Countrymen of every description, in the noblest cause in which they can be engaged, is the ardent wish of, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged servant, R. VALPY. Readiug., Aug. /5, 1803. TO THE COMMItTEE, &c. GENTLEMEN) Imitate the House of CoritmOns, and make an avowal to the Public, that after the Subscription is . Closed, an Alphabetical . List of the Names shall be published i n an cativo volume,. an d 'every name, 'if but for siapealci, and you will have such a b. scription as the world ne ver yet Witnessed.su A book . as large as a Diredory would be sullicient to contain all the names, and every man would put one in his library, so that the book itself would be 'Ore to sell and pay its way; it„would,, in course, be prefaced with the Declaration, &c. 13th August, 1803.

A numerous,Meeting of the Magistrates and prin. eipal Inhabitants of Dengey Hundred E was held' At Malden b n F , in riday, in order to r saes, aise a large effeetive Corps of Volunteers. for the defence of that part of the 'coast ; when the proposal of W. lIILLARY, Esq. of Danbury -place to, raise and command such Corps, was unanimottsly approved of, and very liberal subscription entered into for prornOting so laudabli a serv i ce.

Titottatt the flame of Patriotism may, in other parts of the Kingdom, spread to a greater extent, in no part does it shine with greater lustre than it does in this little Town. The Corps of Yeomanry Cavalry which was-embodied during the late War, and which then consisted of no more than 30, is now augmented to the number of .t 00,.: and, there is little doubt, will yet increase ; and, during the course of a few weeks past, no fewer than 600 affive young Biitons have enrolled themselves as Infantry, to serve in' ails , part of the Kingdom in case of Invasion : these exertions are the more patriotic, as the extent of Country from which the Cusps are supplied, is confined to the town and vicinity immediately adjoining. A very handsome subscription has already been raised : Mr. Lt.or ts, of Trebierdd, has generously ;civanced with t na Guineas, and several other resi dent Gentlemen have come forward in a most liberal wanner. Such is the patriotic spirit of this part of His Majesty's dominions:---may chat of every other be equally great !

We have hitherto been silent as to the political transactions which have recently occurred in this CAony. Many :of them are of so extraordinary a nature—so unprecedented in. the annalS of a British Colony—so repugnant to every idea of loyalty and obedience to the will of our Sovereign, and s 0 ini_ mical to the peace and tranquillity of this infant Settlement, that had we ventured our conjectures on their . probable cffeas, we should .have been un avoidably led into reflections which might have in_ creased the agitation of the public mind,. and dis turbed that good order which it is our invariable study, to preserve. The storm having at length subsided, we.caonow calmly ... look around, and con template our escape from the dangers to which we have been exposed. In the commencement of the present year we congratulated this Community on the first arrival of His Excellency Cul. WILLIAM FULLARTON ) and the subsequent conduct of the first Commissioner has amply confirmed 'the high opinion which the Public entertained of his charader. Unhappily his wise and benevolent views have been frustrated by a determined and systematic opposition to every measure which he proposed for •the good of the Colony : an opposition concluded by violence, im petuosity ltod passion on one side, and resisted on the other, by that dignity, moderation 'and priety which have ever di-stinguished the public con, duet of Col. FULLARTON; Discussions, thus cond u !led, promised •no benefit to the Colony, and at length induced the First Com. missioner to tom his thoughts towards another part of his duty, for which he. was peculiarly qualified by his experience and scientific knowledge, and in the performance of which he would fulfil the special commands of His . Majesty. On the Ist of April His Excellency sailed in the Schooner Start, and " proceeded on a survey and other'matters necessary to' enable him to fulfil the objects specified by His Majesty's commands." The events which took place during his absence, the Proclamation of the 27th of April, requiring' all persons, Civil and Military; to consider WIL.

The arrival of General MAITLAND (un, Tuesday t h e 14th instant) in the schooner Nell), from Bar. badoes, relieved the loyal inhabitants of Trinidad from , this State of *anxiety and alarm. And the general satisfaaion was evident, when it. Was posi tivelikbnwn, that the result of the dispatches sent by his Excellency General c.i.II.INVIELD WaS the remo val of Brigadier, General PICTON from his Mili tar y command, anti l (hi: consequent restoration of Colonel FULI.AitTON to the Government of this , Island. • • When it is recollected .that General Pt mit.; has remained,. since the eonquest of Trinidad, in the possession of extensive authofity and power, we shall be excused for not attempting to convey 'any idea of the astonishment of the Colony on the morn... i ng o f Wetioesdly last, when it was discovered that the schooner- Nell) , had sailed the preceding night, with Brigadier General pi cyo ts on board, • On Thursday his Excellency GoVernor TON issued his Proclamation (inserted in this Paper) and on l? ridgy morning landed with his Suite, at' - the King's Wharf, where he , was received, by his' Excellency.
