CITY OF LONDON TAVERN, Dec. 13, 11108.
THE COMMITTEE appointed on the 9th of Pe-
comber, 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, friendly
in its dispositions—honourable in all its national conduct and

character:—fitts;d, by political and commercial interests and rela-
tions, to be closely connected in alliance and friendship with
Great Britain, and now struggling, with herote fortitude, in a
common cause, against a common and most formidable foe ; suf-
fering in the ominous 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, as, 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 Spanish soldier, and con-
vincing to the Spanish Government and people, of the perfect
union in opinion and sentiment which on this subject subsists
throughout these islands.
The Committee rely, with confidence, that the good example
of the public Corporations and Companies, and of the Inhabitants
of the Metropolis, will be followed by the principal Cities, Towns,
and Districts of the United Kingdom, in order to 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
fit to be accepted by the gallant, disinterested, and high-spirited
nation, to whose brave defenders it is offered.
