-The Committee for the relief of the unfortunate Strangers,
Who have been compelled by the late political vicissitudes to
seek an Asylum in England, have to report to the Public,
whose bounty they have endeavoured to distribute with fidelity
and discretion, that more than 4,0001. has already been divided
ainong the numerous and increasing elliimants on their funds,
and that a sum little exceeding half the above amount, is ndw
left to them to provide for a current
.expenditure of 8001. per
month, without making any allowance for those contingen-
cies, which cannot but arise. The Committee would contem-
plate the threatened exhaustion of their finances, with greater
anxiety and alarm; were they not persuaded that the generous
benevolence, which has enabled them so long to provide for the
Argent claims upon their Treasurer, will still continue to en.
to nirag'e their exertions, and to that benevolence they venture
make a renewed and confident appeal.
The Committee request that any Subscribers wishing to be
informed, in detail, of the application of the funds, will attend
for that purpose at its weekly meetings, when all the accounts
will be laid before him for his examination.
