DISTRESS IN GERMANY'.

A -BOUT Eight:Years *pi' the'CALKLIIITI ES
ocea,ioned by the War. in different PROVINCES of.
GERMANY gave rise to aStAISCRIPTION, and the Forma-
tion of a COMMITTEE in LoAdon, to *relieve the Distresses
on the Continent.

By the generosity. of the British Public, and with the aid of
several respectable Foreigners, resident in this comitrv, the .
suni of -nearly 50,0001. vrafretraitted to the Continent, Which
rescued multitudes of individuals and families from the,extre-,'
naity'of distress,.and the eery brink of ruin. -
The Committee'received, both from Germany and Sweden,
the
-most satisfactory documents, testifying that the various
sums which had been transmitted, had been received and con-.
seientionsly distributed; but At.no period since the existence
of this Committee; tri; the mass of every kind of misery been
so sweat, in the country to which their attention was flrst di-
Jectexl; Never has tr e_ery of the distressed Germans far help
been so urgent, their appeal to British benevolence so presst
ing, as in the-present moment. Who could' read the reports
Of the dreadful conflicts which have taken place in Germany,'
during the last eventful year; of the many sanguinary battles
fought iu Silesia, .Lusatia, Bohemia, Saxony,. Brandenburg-,
and other parts ; and peruse the melancholy details of suffer-
lug
abhost unexampled in the annals of history, withuut the
most lively emotions? Who could hear Of so many thousands
offeemilies barbarously driven from Hambargh, in the midst
of a severe winter; of so many villages burnt, cities pillaged,
whole principalities desolated, and nut glow with ardent
desire • to.,assist.in relieving distress so multifarious and ex-
tensive ? •

• To'tbe alle►iatiou of sufferings so dreadful ; to the rescue
of our fellow-men, who-are literailv rea:ly to perish, the views
of this Committee arc exclusively ;fireeted.
Many well-authenticated afflicting details' of the present
distress having been, on the-14th, on the. 18th, on the'
on the list of Januiiry, and tin the Ist of February, 1814, laid
before the Committee, it was immediately -resolved, in re-
liance on theiiherality of the tiritish Puiitie, to remit by those
posts V,leven Thousand Three Hunclred-Pounds, to res-pecta-
blepeisons, with directions to form Committees of distribution
at the several places mentioned.
