A T a MEETING.heId Tnis DAY, at the City cf
A
London Tavern, to take into consideration the DISTRES-
SEI) SITUATION of the SETTLERS at the CAPE of GOOD
HOPE ,•
WM. Tnomrsow, Esq. AI.P. and Alderman, in the Chair.
Estracts from various letters received by Merchants from their
Correspondents in Cape Town were read, exhibiting, in the most
ifeetiug terms, the great misery which prevails among the Settlers
in that Colony, occasioned by the failure of their clops for three
niccessive seasons, and by the calamitous inundation in October fast.
The proceedings of the Society formed in Cape Town for their
islief were also read,in which the above very distressing accounts are
holly authenticated, and wherein the total inadequacy of the funds
et that Society to relic.. •uch accumulated wretchedness as now
rusts, without the 3StrlaWllCe of a benevolent British Public, is
clearly demo-nstrated.
It was stated to the Meeting, that a Deputation had tvaitei on
the Right lion. Earl Bathurst, his Majesty s Secretary of State fur
tie Colonial Department : which Deputation reported, that his
Lordship had received them in the most polite and condescending
slimmer, that he readily entered into their views as to the prop icty
rand necessityof raising a Subscription, and granted full permission
to the Deputation to make use cif his Lordship's name in any way
tit:y timuilht would best promote the object in view.
ltesolutions were then carried unanimously :
-...aved by 30111.4 Fuettaa, Esq. and seconded by I'.srstcx
• Moms:, Eq.
1. That this Meeting contemplates with much satisfaction the
exertions nude by the Society in Cape Town, on behalf of their
sultering Countrymen; but that this Meeting is fully convinced that
the limited Funds of that Society cannot remove the mass of misery
now existing among the Settlers.
Moved by Rocca themes, Esq. seconded by Joint Goat, Esq.
9. That it appears to this Meeting highly necessary that a 'Sub-
ariiptiou be immediately entered into fur the Relief of the Distressed
Settlers at the ('ape of Good Elope; that a Committee be appointed
to manage the same; and that the most ..t.ieient measures be adopted
to make the object as public as possible.
