EY ORDER OF THE- COMMItTE,E FOR. RELIEVING
TLIE DISTRESSES BY 'nu WAR. IN GERMANY.
To the LADIES of ENGLAND.-Froth the LADIES of
b,tRMANY. •

Dresded, jnne 30, 1814.
IVITfi emotions of joy and grati•tu(k we have
learned from the Public Prints the formation of
Committees of benevolent British Females, whose efforts are de-
voted to-the alleViatlon of the Distresses of the Continents and
whi, in particulars deeply sympathize in the forlo'rn state of
the unfortunate Orphans of Saxony, Which has had-to sustain
so severe a trial. Here, too, was fortned a similar Society,
-which is exclusively engaged in prodding for these destitute
littlebnes. Judge, then, What must have been our feelings,
when we heard that our sisters in England wiie making our
most important concer❑ 'their own. With deep :emotion we
join them id the good .work;, and arproach them with
the confidence which the Christian sentiment of Charity
and Benevolence so easily inspires. Let its, then, frank-

ly acquaint you with sour Distresses, as well as with
what has been done to relieve them ; and what we venture
to solicit of our generoui British sisters. , We need .not re-
peat how grievously our country (la which the emancipation
of Europe was achieved) has suffered from the war, and its
formidable train-:-Want and Famine—Disease anfl Misery—
Devastation and Death ! All this the public Papers have an-
nounced s and we know that you cannot be strangers to the
subject in general. We wish, however, that we ceed, de-
scribe to you the individual distress which surrounds us, the
deplorable state of the children, Who have lost fat her and
ais.ther, and every thing, along with toem-; and vet we durst
not give you a faithful picture of it, as it would wound•your
hearts too deeply. It-is most painfpl to hear in what a state
the children, particularly 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 ; o •alteviste their con-
dition, and to invite philanthropic Christians, born at
home and abroad, to take compassion, agreeably to our Sa-
viour's injunction, on these little ones. They addressed them-
selves in particular to our sex, to whose care the children were
especially committed; and God_gavi: power to their voice : so
that from all quarters came offers to take these Ornhans, and
contributions for their support.. h e Committee ill London fur
relieving the Distresses occasioned, by time War in Germany
has in particular exerted itself our behslf amid gives us iuipes
that it will do still more. But in Saxony also an 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 been placed in families ; and four small
institutions, corresponding with our abilities at the time,
have been erected, into which the Orphans are received till
new parents can he found for them. One of these is at Dip-
poldiswalda, for Boys; the second at Grunberts, for Girls, and
the other two at Pirmia and Dresden, for .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 muse
to wish on their account. But natural!) this males Must
decrease more and more ; 'and for this reason, because the .
Managsrs of these Institutions are unwilling to place any of
the Children out of their depopulated native eonntry,
and their yet remaining, resources will be speedily ex-
hausted. We arc, therefore, desirous pf giving permanence to
these institutions (atleast to one of them)thatthe Orphans who
cannot be otherwise provided ,for may be there received, edu-
cated, and supported, they 5h%.11 be able to earn their owa
living., TO you, then, beloved Sisters, we turn, and barest
' you to devote to this object a part of the bounty which you
may have destined for nor poor infants. We will gladly trans-
mit to you au account of its applieasion, and punctually follow
every filirtithruirtli-r.k=yvu 11.CAb.r~.tint it. M.0...Art.6,d
by your co-operation, we shall exert out ielres the more cheer-
fully; and God, who blesses whatever is done for his sake, will
not mail to prosper ,the sisterly covenant in which we are
united.
