SUBSCRIPTION IN AID OF THE SPANISH PATRIOTS.
CITY OF LONDON TAVERbi, Dec. 13, 1808.
THE COMMITTEE appointed on the 9th of De-
cember, by the MERCHANTS and INHABITANTS of!
LONDON, to attend to the Application of a General Subscrip-
tion
in aid of the brave SPANISH PATRIOTS, now struggling
in the Field to defend their Country from a foreign and cruel In-
vader, cannot discharge that duty without making an earnest
Appeal to the attention of their generous Countrymen, of all
ranks, in behalf of a Nation and a Cause so interesting to all the
sympathies of Britons.
A people contending for their independence, liberties, and se-
curity, from foreign tyranny and oppression--a nation,
in its dispositions—honourable in all its national conduct and
character—fitted, by political and commercial interests and rela-
tions, to be closely connected in alliance and friendship with
Great Britain, and now struggling, with heroic fortitude, in a
common cause, against a common and most formidable foe ; suf-
fering in the arduous conflict the greatest hardships, and endur-
ing the severest privations, has—surely, strong claims of every
kind on every inhabitant of-these islands ; and though the greatest
exertions have, with the general approbation of this nation, been
made by Government to afford the most extensive, speedy, and
effectual aids of treasure, arms, ammunition, military stores,
equipments, and clothing, for the maintenance and support of the
Spanish troops, together with the succour of large bodies of Bri-
tish soldiers, it is still felt, that the generous manifestation of the
popular sentiment, and such further aids, of various kinds, as a
general and liberal Subscription may supply, cannot but have an
effect animating and consoling to the :- panish soldier, and con-
vincing
to the 'vanish Government and people, of the perfect
anion in opinion and sentiment which on this subject subsists
throughout these islands.
The Committee rely, with confidence, that tie pod example
of the public Corporations and Companies, and of the Inhabitants
of the Metropolis, will be followed by the principACities, Towns,
and Districts of the United Kingdom, in mder u. form together
an offering worthy of the great cause for which it is made--of the
high character and affluence of the Empire which presents it, and
Et to be accepted by the gallant, disinterested, and high-spirited
nation, to whose brave defenders iris offered.
