The Refugee Committee have to acknowledge, with sincere
pleasure, the ready and liberal support which has answered the
appeal they made to public feeling and humanity in behalf of those
strangers who had sought in England an asylum and a home, which
in their own country were denied them.
The destitute condition of these suffered demanded that public
sympathy should be converted into prompt and active assistance to
save them literally, in many cases, from the horrors of starvation.
That demand has been answered most 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 diem 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 most effective and nioes
permanent means of realising their charitable intentions.
.lany of the Refugees, now in England, have held the most dis-
tinguished situations of civil and military trust in their
countries, and, generally, they have received a liberal
such an education as would render them, very capable of giviMdl-
strestion In theisevese Idlinclies of kfiowlalge which they possillit
Amongst them might be found able insttuctors in the Sparshlis
Italian, French, Portuguese, Latin, and (heel: languages, as well as
in several branches of philosophical and military knowledge. If,
therefore, either in London, or in any of the towns of Great Britain,
situations could be found, which should place these individuals
*byre the necessity of living on public benevolence, such a course
would not only be most effectively serving the cause of humanity,
but would be more honourable to the individuals themselves, and,
the C.ointeittee may add, on the part of the Refugees, much more
gratifying u. their feelings.
The Committee thee 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 Com-
mittee anticipate that co-operation in their present efforts which the
success of the subscription gives them fie confidence to expect.
Any application nude to tl.e Honneary Secretary, will meet with
prompt attention.
