CITY OF LONDON'' TAVERN,

31st MAY, 1822.
AT a MEETING of the COMMITTEE for
the GENERAL SUBSCRIPTION for some IMME-
DIATE ASSISTANCE in the EXTREME- TEMPO-
RARY DISTRESS of the South Western Provinces of.
IRELAND;
The following Report. as agreed on :

the Bth to the 31st inst., is 24,7301., transmitted to Central or

ral Protestant and Catholic Bishops of the Dioceses' in which

Offered 41. 103. per Ton to encourage the Importation of
Fifteen Hundred Tons of Potatoes from Scotland, England,
and Wales, to be delivered in-the ports nearest to the districts
most in want,

The Committee have made purchases in Scotland, the River
Thames, aid Western Port; of England, of about Fifteen' Hun-
dred Tons of Potatoes, intended for. Seed ; and have despatched
and are despatching them to the several Ports and Harbours of
Ireland, from Sligo all round to Bantry.

--o-- .

With equal pain and regret, the Committet feel obliged to
certify to the general community of Great Britain, that they
have found the poverty and distress of Ireland, and the great
deficiency of the accustomed food of Potatoes of the Southern
and. Western Provinces, to be very extended and general, and
the suffering of the people extreme and increasing. They an-
xiously hope that the asistance afforded by the Government, by
the Proprietors, or Residents in those Districts, who have,pro-
perty or rr.ear.s, and by the humane and liberal sympathy of
England, has tended, in some degree, to mitigate this great
distress and most severe want; but they feel themselves, by
their position, obliged publicly to declare, that the evidence
they have of their existence, through nearly 1-third of Ireland,
containing a population of nearly two millions, is such as to
render it indispensable for them to continue to call on thegener-
ous sympathy of E iglishrnen of all ranks and classes, to con-
tribute to the mitigation of the extreme distress and misery in
Ireland, to which the most general and liberal beneficence can-
not be wholly efficient from this time to the middle of August
next, however nobly and usefully it be suited to assist in the
general efforts for m'tigatio i or relief.]
The deficiency of the crop of potatoes of the last season,
throughout the southern and western provinces of Ireland, and
the discovery made, too late, by the peasantry, that of that part
of their crop saved and stored a large proportion had perished
`in the pits, through the unsoundness of the growth, have toge-
ther been a principal cause of the present sudden and lament-
able scarcity of the accustomed foal of the poorer classes of a
numerous population.
The Committee have every reason to rely on the spontaneous
liberality and sympathy of the inhabitants,of Great Britain, to
afford their generous aid, in the present calamity of the hour,
in a manner to avert the danger of more extended suffering and
want. JOHN SMITH,. Chairman.
