The ire and glorious Victory on the Plains of SALAMANCA,
iehteed, through the transcendant military skill and conduct
ef tke Marquess ef WELLINGTON, by the intrepid gallantry and
hatteeis of the brave Officers and Men under his command, has
No duiy estimated by the admiring and grateful People of these
Row, whose exulting satisfaction has recently been expressed
M them** general and conspicuous manifestations of their pride
end joy. The Committee of the Patriotic Fund feel it their
gets,, on this great occasion, to call on all their Countrymen to
doable them to continue the Relief, so well earned and so highly
deserved by the brave men who have fallen, or have been dis-
abled la this noble Conflict, for themselves, or the Widows,
Orphans, and Relatives, who depended on them for support.
This Invitation, since its establishment at the commencement
of this War, has afforded an honourable and grateful assistance
r alleviation to 19,254 Cases of Officers, Seamen, and private
Soldim, their Widows, Orphans, or dependant Relatives :, and,
including the deserving and heroic Sufferers on the recent memo-
rable Victory of Salamanca, it has still a large number of the
most meritorious claims on its accustomed assistance. The Com-
mittee feel a firm reliance, that through the generous sympathy
elan ranks of a discerning People, sensible of the blessings of
security from the hostile and vindictive aims of its Powerful
Enemy and Rival, " the Eritish Seaman and Soldier may still
" cor.fidently trust, that those who are dear to him vk hile living,
la shall, in the event of his failing in the sacred cause, find
" Friends and Guardians in a grateful-and generous Country:
" and that he who may be disabled in its defence shall not be
" neglected by those whom he has bravely defended."
