'The continued demands on the Funds of the Refugee Committee
......e again nearly exhausted their resources; and the number of
Spanish Exiles has lately been greatly increased by renewed per.
mentions of the Spanish liorernment. Within a short time, many
"nguished public characters have arrived in London. seeking an
from the cruel visitations of their political enemies. Seve-
Deputies of the Spanish Cortes—many individuals who have oc-
Tied posts of oensi&rattle trust in their native country—and great
umbers of Guerilla Soldiers. who had taken an active part in the
lefence of Spain, hate heen banished from the Peninsula by the re-
cent proceedings against them, and are now wanderers in our
streets. Some, after long imprisonment, have been shipped off for
England—others, who had sought an asylum in France, have been
forced by the police to abandon that country. Every day, in fact,
brings some new victim of political hostility to our -bore. ; and
though the Committee have strenuously exerted themselves to find
employment for the Refugees, and have not admitted new sppli.
:s but upon the most urgent necessity, so many irresistible caves
come before them, that they have felt it impossible to oppose
..r admission to the lists ; and at the same time they have deter-
Mined to use every eltort to obtain the atten ion and re-awaken the
sympathies of the public towards them.
