-The Committee earnestly request attention to the circum-
stances, that, in the space of 10 or 12 seconds, and over an ex-
tent of upwards of 12,000 square miles, scarcely a house or a
cottage escaped sudden destruction ; 20,000 of the inhabitants,
at the lowest computation, were crushed to death in the ruins ;
an equal number were wounded, and. the survivors reduced to a
state of the mOstabjeet misery. . .
. . .
The Committee beg tc;.olaserve, that the value of money
being much greater its Syria than
.inthis country, a compara-
tively small Stun will provide necessaries and provisions for a
family for several months; the smallest contributor, therefore'
will enjoy the satisfaction of haVing afforded relief to his fellow-
creatures under the most calamitous circumstances.
The Committee have already transmitted 1,0001. through the
medium .of the Consul-General' of the Levant Companyl at
Constantinople, with farticular Instructions to cause it to be
distributed without regard to Nation or Religion. They solicit,
therefore, the contributions of the benevident, With an assur-
ance that the utmost attention shall be paid to the distribution
of the funds which may be committed to their cave, and that an
account shall be hereafter' rendered of the manner in- which
they may be appropriated.
