GERM4N SUFFERERS.

The present is a good time to recommend the Cs-
.tressed Germans to the liberality of the British nation.
The efforts of German warrior:, united with those of
Russia, have gone far towards punishing the author
of all the miseries of Europe ; and, it is hoped, are at
the point of rescuing the world for ever from his
tyranny. Now, if the sums which have been expended
by Prussia and Austria, not to speak of lesser States,'
in equipping their armies for the plains of Champagne,
had been applied to the relief of their suffering sub-
jects at home, these would have. no occasion to look
to strangers for aid. The British poor, it is true, are
in n►► great affluence ; but they know nothing of the
miseries of the inhabitants of Dresden or Leipsic, whose
housls, fin nit iire, arid means of subsistence, have been
whOly de-stroyed. Whoever has seen the effects pro-
duced by a fire raging in some of the meaner streets
in London, when the wretched inhabitants are burnt
out of their hOuses, and seek refuge under the naked
roof of some church, may form an idea of the extreme
misery of thousands upon thousands of those destitute
beings for whose relief British humanity is solicited.
The following additional sums were voted, on the
10th of February, by the. Committee for the Sufferers
in Germany :

The Committee for the Sufferers in Germany feel
it a duty they owe to the munificent Subscribers to
the Fund for their relief, to make public the measures
whist.' they have adopted for securing the application
of the sums remitted to the various parts of the Con-
tinent, ayreeably to the intentions of . those whose
liberal ty has afforded the means.
The following is a copy of the letter usually sent
to those to avhoni it is intended to afford relief:
de Permit me to Worm you, that the London Com-
mittee for relieving the Distresses in Germany and
os er parts of the Continent, deeply sympathising in
the distressed situation of- your town (or district), and
anxiously wishing to afford vane relief to its suffering
lath ibitants, have devoted the sum of pounds
to this purpose, in the distribution of which they re-
quest your attention to the folleuing points :
Ist. The express design of this chaiity is to re-
lieve those only who have been plunged into poverty
and distress by the recent calamities of ihe war.
" 2.f. .In the appropriation of its funds the strictest
impartiality is to be observed.
4' 3d. The distribution is to take place with the least
possible loss of time.
" 4th. Ni one family or individual is to receive too
large a proportion of this charity : the amount of the
loss, and all the circunistances of the persons to be
relieved, are duly to be taken into consideration.
4' sth. For these put poses a Committee of distri-
bution is. immediately to be formed, consisting of
Magistrates, Clergymen, Merchants, and such other
persons ae are most generally respected for their know-
ledge, discretion, and integrity. Should a Committee
be already formed for the disposing of contributions,
received from other quarters, they are requested to
choose from among its members, a Sub-committee,
for the management of thesumsreceived from London.
" 6th. The Committee is requested to keep an ac-
curate list of every person and family they relieve, as
well as the sum allotted to each, and transmit to
the London Committee such authentic accounts of
the distress still prevailing, together with such parti-
culars relative to good effects produced by the
distribution of the Charity, as may prove interesting
the Public.
7th. Finally, the Committee of Distribution will
have the goodness,. at the close of their benevolent
labour, to draw up a concise report of the manner in
which they have applied the funds entrusted to their
care, accompanied with such documents as they may.
deem necessary, and to send the whole to the Lon-
.
don Committee.,
" The London Committee considering themselves
responsible to the public, whose almoners they are,
wish to lay particular stress on a fair, equitable, and
impartial distribution of this bounty ; and as persons
of different ranks and religious denominations in
Great Britain have been the contributors, they anxi-
. owly wish that the most distressed, without regard
to any religious community, whether Christians or,
Jews, Protestants or Catholics, may receive their due
proportion in the distribution.
They now conclude with assurances of their
deep interest in she sufferings of their Brethren on the
Continent, and consider it not only a duty but a pri-
vilege to administer to their necessities, as far as the
kind Providence of GOD, through the instrumentality
of the Aritish Public, may enable them to dispense.—
The Committee of Distribution are requested to ap-
point a Correspondent with the Loudon Committee,
and to transmit their letters to
R. 14 MARTN ? Secretaries to the Comtnmitee of
LUKE HOWARD S the Distresses in Germany.
