11Y ORDER OF THE .commirr-F,F. FOR ItELIEVING
THE DISTRESSES D.Y THE WAR IN GERMANY.
To the LADIES of ENGLAND.—From the LADIES of
GERMANY.

• Dresden, June 30, 1814.
WITU emotions of joy aiul'grutithde We have
learned from, the Public 'Prints the formation of
Committees of tienevolent British. Females, whose effortsure•dea
-voted to the zilleciation of the Dist resses of the Continent, and
iv?) a, in particular, deeply sympathize in the forlorn state of
.the unfortunate Orphans of :;axoit.y, which has had to sustain
so severe a trial. • tick., too, was formed a similar Society,
which is exclusively engaged in .providing, for these destitute
little ones. Judge, then, what Must have been our feelings,
when we beau tthat our sisters in England were making our
Most important concern their own. With deep emotioo we
join them in the good work; and..approaeh them with
the confidence which the Christian sentiment of Charity
and Benevolence so easily inspires. Let us, ..thew, frank-
ly acquaint you with our Distresses, as -well as with
what has been done to relieee them ;- and what We venture
to solicit of our generous British, sisters: We need not re.:
peat how grievously our country (in which the emancipation
•of Europe was aChieved) has 'suffered from the war, and its
formidable traiu,ralf•ant and Famine—Disease and Misery=
Devastation and Death ! this the public Papers have an-
nounced;- and 'we know that you cannot be,strangerS to the
subject in general. %Ire wish, however,
.that we could de-
scribe to you the iadividoal distress which surrounds us, the
deplorable state of the children, who have lost father and
mother, and every thing along with them ; and yet we durst
not give you a faithful pieture of it; as it would wound your
hearts too deeply. It. is must painful to hear in what a state
these children,aim tieularly those of very tender age, have been
found by those excellent men who felt • themselves called by
God to seek out misery, in its most secret retreats. They
were, therefore, the first to endeavour to alleviate their con-
dition, and to invite all philanthropic-Christians, borne at
home and broad, to take compassion, agreeably to nor. So-
injunction, on these little ones. They addressed Wein--
selves in particular to our sex, to whose care the children were
especially committed; and God gave power to their voice : so
that front all quarters came
,offers to take these. Orphans, and
contributions for their support. The Committee in London for
.relieving the Distresses occasioned by the War in Germany has
in particular exerted itself in our behalf;' and gives is hopes
that it will do still inure. But in Saxony also On excellent ,
spirit was displayed ; and those to whom Providence, had pre-
served part of their property cheerfully extended their aid to
such as were left quite destitute. In this manner about 200
'children have already beetiaplaced in families; and four small
institntams, corresponding with our abilities at the time, •
have been erected, into which the Orphans are received till
new parents can be found for them. One of these is at Dip-
poldiswaida, fur Boys ; the second at Grunberg for Girls, and -
the other two at Puna and Dresden; fur Children of both
sexes. So long as we can meet with families willing to-re-'
ceive our little ones into their midst, we have nothing more
to wish on their account. Bot naturally this ntunber must
decrease more and :nitre; and for this reason, because the
'Managers of these Institution's are unwilling to place any of
the ,Children out of their depopulated native country,
and their yet remaining resources will .be speedily ex-
hausted. Wa are, therefore, desirous of giving permanence to
these institutions (at least to one of theni)that the Orphans who
cannot he otherwise provided for' may be there received, edu-
cated, and supported, till 'hey shall be able to earn their own •
living. To you,-then, b,ioved Sisters,. we turn, and intr eat
you to &vote to, this object a part of the bounty which you
may nave destined for our poor infans. We will gladly trans-
mit to you an account of its application, and punctually follow
every direction that you may give respecting it. Euconraged
by your co-operation' we shall exert onraelves the more cheer-
fully; nod God, who blesses whatever is done for-hie sake, will
not. tail to . prosper the sisterly covenant in width wa are
