Lloyd's' 81st August, 1812.
The signal and glOtionsVictory on the Plains of Salainanca,
achieved, through the transcendant military skijl and con-
duct of the Marquis of Wellington, by the intrepid gallantry
and firmness of the brave Officers and Men under. fiis com-
mand, has been duly estimated by the atimiring and grate-
ful People of these Healins, whose exulting satisfaction has
recently been expressed in the most general and conspi-
cuous manifestations of their pride and joy. The' Com-
mittee of the Patriotic Fund feel their duty, on this
_;rent occasion, to call on all their .it,.
to enable
them to continue the Relief, so well earned and So highly
,lescrved by' the brave men who have fallen, or have been
disabled in this.noble Conflict, fur themselves, or the Wi-
dows, Orphans, and Relatives, who depended on them for
support.
This Institution, since its establishment al. the com-
mencement of this War, has afforded an honourable and
grateful assistance or alleviation to 13,254 Cases of Officers,
Seamen, and private Soldiers' their Widows, Orphans, or de-
pendant Relatives : and, including the deservin_s and heroic
Suffer:ll-s on the recent memorable Victory of Salamanca, it
has still a large nualber of the Most meritorious claims on its
accustomed' assistance. . The Committee feel a firm reliance
that through the generous sympathy of all ranks of a dis-,
cerning people, sensible of the blessings of ~security from the
hostile and vindictive aims of its powerful Enemy and Rival,
" ,trite British Seaman and Soldier may still confidently trust,
" that those who are dear to bins while living, shall, in the
" event of his falling in the sacred cause, find Friends and
" Guardians in a grateful and generous Country : and that
" beivihe may be disabled in its defence shall not be neglect-
" .ed by those whoM he has bravely defended."
