Committee of Noblemen and Gentlemen has been formed for the
tlr-Peee of raising funds, to be remitted to the English Consuls in the
le h ac
, ports, and to the authorities in the English ports of arrival,
the benefit of the numerous British artisans, labourers, domestic
ir„suits, and others, who are now daily arriving in this country,
,
th "Pg been forced to leave their employments in France, either by
it 6 tYranny of the French mob, or by the suspension of the establish-
14%tin.ils which they were engaged, consequent on the recent Rev°.
The Committee will carefully geard against in any way interfering
Rtth the Government, which is making provision to bring the refu-
°t'es to this country, or with the performance of the duty devolving
tir'S the different parochial authorities in passing them to their respec-
nye Parishes ; but as many arrive in a state of great destitution from
°4-I,Nrment of their wages, loss of furniture and clothing, and the
rierdbition issued to the French savings-banks against paying out
ere than a small BUM to each depositor, it is proposed that assist-
re should be given to those parties in the way of clothing or sus-
or in such other manner as their circumstances may require.
Ttim Committee have resolved to place at the disposal of the
sign-office 3001. of the amount already subscribed, to be placed in
the r
hands of the different British Consuls in French ports : her Ma-
,
TWA Government undertaking to forward the arnotuit forthwith in
wit safest way.
The Committee have placed themselves in'communication with the
4rPorate officers of the different seaport towns, and with the Corn-
14hisloners of Customs.
