The Refugee Committee •heve to scencaleelge, with sincere
pleasure, the ready and liberal support ehich has answered the
appeal they made to public feelingand humanity in behalf of those
strangers who had sought io Englated an asylum and a home, which
in their own country were denied-theta.
The destitute condition of these 'titterer" demanded that public
sympathy should be converted into prompt and active assistance to
save than literally, in many eases, horn the horrors of starvation.
That demand has been answered meet satisfactorily ; but as it is
obvious that the benevolence thus exerted cannot be available, for
any protracted period, to the support of the great number of objects
whose situation affords them a claim upon it, the Committee find
themselves called upon to make a further appeal to the friends of
humanity, and to point out to them the moat effective and most
permanent means of realizing sheer charitable intentions.
Many of the Refugees, now in England, have held the most dis-
tinguished situations of civil and military trust in their respective
countries, and, generally they have rpctn'cd liberal education—
such an education as weetbstred,er them very capable tfrgiviag ha.
street' in the meg of knowledge which •
tram&
be bided able inftrtreas t
reneh, ortugeteesk Latin, and Greek hinguages.ll
in several branches of philolophical and military knowledg
therefore, either in London, or in any of the townsof Great Britain;
situations could be found, which should place these individuals
above the necessity of living on public benevolence, such a course
would not only Le most effectively se mg the cause of humanity,
but would be more honourable to the Individuals themselves, and,
the Committee may add, on the part of the Refugees, much more
gratifying to their feelings.
The committee then claim the serious attention of the public to
this means of relieving the objects of their solicitude, the only
means which can ultimately prevent their returning to the aban-
doned state in which they first visited this country ; and the Cow-
-1 mittee anticipate that co-operation in their pre:tent efforts which the
success of the subscription gives them the confidence to expect.
Any application made to the Honorary Secretary, will meet with
prompt attention.
