DISTRESSED SETTLERS AT THE CAPE OF GOOD
HOPE.

IKHE COMMITTEE for MANAGING the SUB-
SCRIPTION for the RELIEF of the DISTRESSED
SE FTLERS at the CAPE of GOOD HOPE, in publishing an
additismal List of Subscribers, beg roost earnestly to draw the at.
tendon of the British Public to the following brief statement :
In the year 1819, a body of our countrymen, amounting to nearly
five thousand persons, emigrated to the Cape of Good Hope, in
expectation of finding in that country, which had been described by
traseUers who had recently visited it as a second Land of Promise,
that field tbr exertion which the Weenie circumstances of the times
denied to them at home. A melancholy reverse, however, awaited
them ; for the series of disappointments and calamities which they
have since experienced has never been equalled in the history of any
infant colony.
The parties were located in the district of Albany, about 500
miles from Cape Town, under the superintendence of Government,
and prospects as fair as might reasonably be expected opened upon
them ; when a disease, denominated the rust, attacked their corn,
and caused a complete failure. Each succeeding year has brought
with it the same calamity; added to which, their herds of cattle
hare suffered repeatedly from the attacks of the neigithouring
savages, the Caffres, and their flocks from the ravages of beasts of
prey. Their gardens have been destroyed by the effects of a long
drought, which was succeeded, in October last, by an overwht4m-
ing inundation, which, in many instances, swept before it houses,
stuck, and every species of property.
The resulted this combination of evils is a state of wretchedness
which can only be appreciated by those who have been eye-wit-
nesses of this melancholy scene and which is most severely felt by
those who moved in a respectable sphere in their native land.
A Society at Cape Town has already exerted its utmost efforts to
relieve their distress, and has made an appall to the sympathy and
benevolence of the British public, which having always been ex-
tended to foreigners and claimants of every denomination, it is
hoped will not be withheld from their distressed countrymen.
