DISTRESSED SETTLERS AT THE CAPE OF GOOD

HOPE.

-
THE COMMIITE for MANAGING the SUB-
-11 for the RELIEF of the DISTRESSED
SETTLERS at the CAPE of GOOD HOPE, in publishing an
additional List of Contributions, deem it proper to state that the
object of the present subscription is of a temporary nature, and in-
_beaded for the purpose only of rescuing the unfortunate settlers
from a state of actual want and misery, until more effectual mea-
sures can be adopted for their permanent relief. Considering the
amount hitherto subscribed as very inadequate to attain this de-
sired object, the Committee again confidently appeal to the humane
feelings of thoseindividuals who have not yet come forward on this
occasion, for that further aid which the necessity of this distressing
cue so urgently demands.
