ALEPPO-ANTIOCH. .
AT a 'MEETING of the: COMMITTEE for Ma-
ruling Subscriptions raising.for the Relk•fof titeSurvivors
of the,EARTIIQU Al{ ES in SYRIA, held it the City of Igo-
don Tavern, the 27th February, 1823,
J. T. DA UIIUZ. Esq. Treasurer, in the Chair:
'Fhe Committee themselves have reteited no direct actoant
from Syria ; but they are favoured with the following extracts
from the authenticated Journal of a Traveller, who was in the
neighbourhood of Aleppo at the period of the awful calamity :

Had we accepted the kind offer of Schech Mabomed Agha,
to sleep in his house, which was built of stone, we should have
fallen victims to this terrible carthquaki!
" All the towns, villages, and cottages, 20 leagues around
Aleppo, have becn utterly destroyetP4-40,000 of our fellow-
ci cat ur es have lo.t their lives'—lts the Pity, 25,000 are buried in
the ruins amidst dead horses, cats, and dogs!—the !arm ntation
cf. old and young I shall never forget !—.-of 3000 Jews at AkTpo,
have suffered—their ancient SyrKogues are entirely de-
stroyed !—iii all tk_ city not one single !iconic remains whole !
I went the next day to Lattachia; tr.o houses were thrown
down, and some hundreds of persons lart their lives I found
the inhabitants in the open fields---many were naked, but dared
Cot ri turn ,to search for choir clothe, among the ruins!"—
" Siti)ck. have been felt four or five times through 40 days !
I have been introduced to the i7icei.King of Egypt. I told
his Itoyal Highness that. I bad projected the Establishment of a
&boo' at ; but the dreadful Earthquakes rendered the
design impracticable at present.

" The li4tressed condition of the inhabitants of this part of
Syria would wring a heart of urine !"
lit-solved—That the sum of rive Hundred Pound 4, in addi.
tion to .C2zOo already sent, be i rimediately remitted to the Bri-
tish Consul-General at Constantinople.

Reiolved—That the benevolence of those whom it has pleased
a Metciful Pativincsca to place in happier regions, be earnestly
'solicited on the behalf of the wretched sustivors of this awful
*isitatiun.
