APPEAL TO PUBLIC SYMPATHY
in BEHALF of the DESTITUTE UNPAID BRI-
TISH AUXILIARIES, late in the SERVICE of tin
QUEENS of SPAIN and PORTUGAL.
The heart-rending distresses and persecutions to which tht,
unpaid British Auxiliaries have been exposed from four to sia
years, whilst attempting to recover their arrears of pay, after
having effectually assisted to place the Queen of Portugal on
her throne, and to prevent the Queen of Spain from being
dethroned, has led to the Right I-lon. the LORD MAYOR of
L)ndon, and the four following Bankers, assenting to receive
subscriptions in their behalf :
Messrs. SMITH PAYNE and SMITH, Lombard-street.
Messrs. DRUMMOND and CO., Charing-cross.
Sir CLAUDE SCOTT and CO., Cavendish-square.
LONDON AND COUNTRY BANK, 71, Lombard-street.
Some idea may be formed of the sufferings which have been
and are still being endured, when it is considered that from five
to six hundred thousand pounds are due to the claimants. It
is earnestly hoped that the British public, so ready at all times
to sympathize with the distress of Foreigners, will not be behind
hand on the present occasion, in coming to the rescue of their
own countrymen, the victims of treachery and fraud, after
having generously expended their resources, and risked their
lives in the cause of freedom and humanity. It is confidently
expected, if public sympathy responds generously to this appear,
that the claimants will not only receive temporary relief, but
will succeed in ultimately obtaining the most ample redress.
It would be an act of great philantropy if some humane indi-
viduals would form themselves into Committees of Relief in the
following Towns, where many of the sufferers were recruited,
and are now located, viz. Chatham, Portsmouth, Plymouth,
Liverpool, Cork, Dublin, Belfast, Greenock, Glasgow, and
Edinburgh. . •
A printed account, with a lithographic illustrat ion of their
misfortunes, may be had, gratis, at Gardiner's, Princes-street,
Cavendish-square.

DOMESTIC EDUCATION_

The married Principal of a respectable Establishment,
formed in 1833 on purely domestic principles of education, is
now in London, and having a FEW VACANCIES, begs to
recommend it to the attention of Parents. It will be fully
confirmed, on inquiry, that his system possesses the great
advantage of his Pupils becoming intimately acquainted with
the German and French Languages, whilst they are acquiring
a sound Classical and Mathematical Education. There are
two resident Masters, a Graduate of Cambridge and a German
Graduate; and the number of PupAs is limited strictly to
Eighteen.
