PATRIOTIC FUSI).

Pr Las been observed, that if a general subscription
:were to take place throughout the British Ernpire in
aid of this truly 'benevolent and. patriotic Institction,
110 less a sum than mo,cool. might.e-asily be collea-
ed. Such a proposition has been very properly sug-
gested ta-Mr.•ANGERSTEIN, as he is always prompl,
Itave and liberal upon every occasion that tends to
the honour of his Countri and the interests of Hu,
manity. The ath, 'of next month has been pointed
• out as the day most. suitable for such a collection to
take place, under the authority of Government,—a
dly assigned to an ea of solemn Thanktiving to the.
Great Disposer of events, :for our recent success
under his gracious prpteaion, may mcleed be very
properly ,employed in' a measure intended. to lessen
the sufferings of his-creatures.
'The following is the calculation that has been'
made of the probable amount':
Scotland (containing 9ooparishes,at from 51, to 41. each) sOOO
England, twelve times the above' 60,•e0

FroM the foregoin.statiment, which implies a
compliment to the patriotism of the people of Great
Britain which they fully deserve, there can be little
-doubt hut the produce would fully equal the
tion. Who would refuse his mite upon so laudable an
occasion ! The *rest man who feels as, a Briton
would cheerfully contributei and every thing should
be accepted in support of so noble a cause. The Wi-
dows and Orphans all over the Empire Wotild,by their
blesSingsr consecrate the design, and animate every
breast to support it. ,We,trust.that the Conclutiors
'of :the Pathetic Fund, whose zeal, industry, and
perseverance have been ..So strenuously exerted in this
generous cause, will attend to this suggestion, and
give the sanEtion of their name,and example to it.—
The .first.charaders‘ in the Country, as well as the
most humble, and all the intermediate classes, may
be confidently •expeEted to give a strenuous aid on
so meritorious an occasion, and then, perhaps, it
will appear that the above calculation is much below
what the philanthropic, charaaer. of ,all the inhabit-
ants of the British Empire Will readily *contribute for
so meritorious a purpose.

We learn with great pleasure, that the inhabitants
of one of the most extensive parishes in the neigh-
bourhood of London have made application, and
obtained permission from the'Rector, for a Collec-
tion to be made after Divine Service on the Thanks-
giving Day, to shew. their sympathy with the
wounded Heroes of Trefalgar, and to put the same
under the management of the Committee of the Pa-
triotic Fund. Now ' this is as it ought to be, and
what we strongly recommend.

A special Common Council was held on Thursday,
last, at Newcastle, when a loyal. and.patriotic Ad-
dress to His MAJaSTY, on the lite glorious Naval
Viaories, was voted, and received the Seal of the
Corporation ; at the =meth:lw a piece of plate, value
150 guineas, was voted to Vice-Admiral Lord Col.-
r INowoon, as a tribute of gratitude and respe6t fat
his late gallant services., The Common Council ex•
pressed their opinion, that. instead of an illumination,
a subscription in aid of the Patriotic Fund ht Lt.oTes,
for the enconrageinent and telief of those engaged,
and'who shall suffer in the defence of their Country,
would, be a fit mode of testifying the sense Of the in-
habitants of that town of the benefits resulting from
the late brilliant Viaories over the Fleet of theeom-
bined EnernytAand accordingly voted a subscription
of too guineas for that purpose.

The Swedish Consul General at London has trans.

dish Vice-Consuls at the 'different Ports in this
