DISTRESS IN GERMANY,

A POUT Eight Years ago, the CALAlkiltitS
..CA. occasioned by air War Its differ6.nt PROVINCES Of
GERMANY gave rise to,a SUIRIaiIPTION, and the Forma-
tion of a CONIMITTEE in London, to rcliete the Distresses
on the Continent.
- - -

By the generosity of the British Public, and with the aid of
seveeal regtctable Foreigners, resident in this corintry,.the
sum of nearly 50,0001. was remitted to the Continent, which
teseded mitltitudes of individual' and families frcm,the extre-
Xiity of distress, and the very brink of ruitt.
The Committee received; both from Geemanyand Swt den,
the most satisfactory documents, testifying that the various
sums which had beentransmitted, had been received and con-
seicntiinisly distributed ; but at no period sitice-:the existnnee
of this committee, has the mass of every'kind of misery been
So great, in the country to which their attention was first di-
, Aected. Never has ti c cry of the distressed Germans for help
Leet so urgent; their appeal to British benevolence so press-
,' ing• as in the present momentsWho'could read the reports
of die dreadful conflicts whieh have. taken place in Germany,
during the last eventful yehr ; of the many sanguinary battles
fought in Silesia, Lusatia, Bohemia; Saxony, EVandenburg,
and other parts; and peruse the melancholy detail-- of sillier-
lug almost unexampled in the annals of history, wit!vmt the
most liVely emotions? Who could hear of sp maul thousands
of families barbarously driven from Hamburgir, in the. midst
of a severe winter ;, of so many villages burnt, cities pillaged,
whole principalities desolated, and not glow with ardent
desire to assist in relieving distress so multifarious and ex-,
tensive ?

To the alleviation of sufferings sci dreadful ; to the
this
of our fellow-men, who are literally ready to perish, views
of this Committee are exclusively directed.
Many well-authenticated afflicting details of the present
distress having been, on the 14th, on the lsth, on the 28th,
on the 31st of January, and on the Ist of February, 1814, laid
before the Committee, it was immediatqfy resolved, in re-
liance on the liberality of the British Pohl::, g to remit by those
posts Eleven Thousand Three Hundred Pounds, to respect-a-
Tale t-iersoos, with directions to form Committees of distribution
at the several places .mentioned,
