DISTRESSED SETTLERS AT THE CAPE OF GOOD
HOPE.

A T a MEETING of the for MA-
IM.. NAG (NO the SURRCURTION for the RELIEF of the
DISTRESSED SETTLERS at the CAPE of GOOD HOPE,
held this day, at the City of London Tavern,
A. DORRADAILE, Esq. in the Chair ;
As a:considerable portion of the British Public are yet unac-
quainted with the amuses of the unexampled distress which prevails
among the unfortunate Settlers; the Committee deem it right to
state that it has arisen from a cpmbination of circumstances over
which no human being could havg any control :—viz.
let. Three successive failures in their crops acorn and vegetables,
occasioned by blight and long continued droughts.
2dly, Repeated losses from the depredations of their treacherous
neighbours the Caffres; end lastly, an overwhelming inundation in
October last. -

instances swept before it houses, stock, and every species of
prop:rty.
