Within the last two months no fewer than fifty unfortunate per.
sons, who are tinder sentence of death or banishment, were eon,
pelted by the French Police to come to this country. The only

of par made outcasts and beggars of them.
Irpon their arrival here their appearance anti condition effivually
interfered with the stability of the resetutioa which the &ninth',
Sleprat ntoiardths,emawndash
adopted, to prevent the extension of the benefits of the Subscription
beyond those in whose behalf the public had been appealed to.
They were naked and starving, and it was immediately reselyel to
render them the assistance which had been denied to them by the
French Authorities. The funds for the relief of the unfortunate
emigrants ate now approaching to a low ebb. Three hundred and
upwards are now weekly receiving support, and there does rot at
present appear to be any probability of any important diminution of
the number of claimants. Without the assistance of the public,
therefore, the Committee apprehend a renewal of the scenes of die.
tress to which the benevolent paid so prompt an atteutlon. It is
coafidently expected, that If sufficient contributions be trade to
enable the poor foreigners to struggle through the ensuing Winter,
there will be no further occasion to solicit the public charity, !with_
out which, however, it will boon be impossible to cunrinue re re.
tend the means of existence to them.

Ye.sterday the Committee met to discuss the subject, the Lord
Mayor in the Chair. They expressed their sense of the high ad-
vantage* given to the cause, by that great engine for the ren-A, of
so many of the ills of life—the public press. After having
in the necessity of supplying the wants of the new claimatu, the,
came to the following Resolution :
" The Committee regret to state that several more ewes of ex.
creme distress have come before them, and that they have been
compelled to admit on their lists no less than fifty persons, the
greater part of whom have been under sentence of death or banish.
ment, and have been obliged to take refuge in this country, by the
forcible intervention of the Continental Police; and though nearly
ninety individuals have been already porinanently provided for
vet those new and unanticipated additions cannot be eontemplatra
by the Committee without considertble alarm and anxiety for the
rapid dintinutio, of their funds; -they therefore must soh appeal,
earnestly and urgently, to the benevolence of the public."
11;fore the Committee separated they found it necessary to reduce
the allowance of each claimant. They are now paying nearly ate:.
every week.
