DISTRESS IN GERMANY.

WHILE Europe is exulting in the immediate
prospect of Peace, and every heart is devising the most
carte-sive means of giving-vent to the generous feelings which it

MANY deem it scarcely needful to remind Britons, that there
is no mode of rejoicing in prosperity, no way of sheering our gra-
titu.ie to 0.13416111 T PROVIDVICL for the blessing, more noble
than relief of the distressed, the rescue of those who are ready
to perish. •1 he necessity, so lotto stated, for aid to the suffcrirg
Germans, still exists: much has already been dune and up-
wards of £BO,OOO barbetn nobly contributed, and as promptly
remitted, to alleviate sorrows, which the happier circumstances
of this country will scarcely enable us justly to conceive of. But
there are millions of Sufferers to whom the hand of Charity
must, yet be extruded, to save life; andatever was the Prov‘rb,
that" Hew ho gives promptly, gives double," more applicable than
at presto'. Details of these Distresses will be found in the Rep6rts

ever, that those men whom he' pleased to call his ene-
mies, would be always ready to offer him the hand of
'friendship whenever he was pleased to accept of it.—
Whatever might be his improvidence or folly, they
,would not *flow the founder of this Institution co
perish from their consequences ; but at the same time,
they would not permit him to overturn the temple
which he bad raised—a temple in which all the na-
tions of the earth would be collected. He was proud
to see near him learned men from Russia, who were
prepared to forward the views of this Institution, and
recommend it to the magnanimous Alexander, to be
adopted through the immense regions of his great
empire. (Applause.) tie was. proud to see (point-
ing out some young Africans) those interesting young
men, who had now received a greater elevation than
that illustrious family of whom so many members
were-present, when they were first elevated to the
Throne of those realms. Those Africans had,'
by education, been raised from the condition of
brutes to men. They had been raised from the
state of beings liable to be stolen from their na-
tive country and • made pass their lives in cruel
bondage, to the condition of meg called upon to be
the instruments of diffusing light and knowledge over
the immense Continent of Africa. (Long and loud
applause.) He was happy to state that females of the
most distinguished rank had been anxious to extend
the benefits of this institution to their sex, convinced
that it would be the means of saving numbers of them
even in this world. He was proud to see how the
Chairman was supported on his right hand (looking
at the Princess of Weexs,) as well as on his left (the
Duke of KENT having then taken his seat). This
was, indeed, a subject of great congratulation. [The
compliment to the Princess of WALES was received
by the most general and loudest expressions of ap-
plause dontinued for many minutes. Her Royal
Highness appeared a little overcome at this strong tes-
timony of approbation, and bowed gracefully to the
company.] He really believed that this institution was
like a young tree, .whose branches were destined to
cover all the nations of the earth. It only remained
for them to take care of it in its infancy. It was with
this view that be wished to move an amendment to
that resoletion which went to give a name to the so-
ciety. There was already an institution which pro-
mised the greatest blessings to msnkind, called " The
British and Foreign Bible Society." He wished that
the present Society should also have a name that
should clearly express its objects, and he therefore,
proposed that it should be called " The British and
Foreign School Society." CAppenue.) The object
of this institution was not merely to give instruction
to any particular sect or class within this country, nor
even limited to the population of this empire, but
aimed at the general diffusion of the light of know.
ledgs all over the world. (Applause.) The Corn.
mittee were already assured that the plan of the insti-
tution would be adopted in other countries, and they
had no doubt of its ultimate and complete success.
• (Mr. Whitbread's speech was received throughout
and at the close, with great applause.)
His amendment was seconded by Mr. IAVELL, in
.
a short speech, and was carried unanimously.
Mr. Deeeeree, Chamberlain to the Emperor Ausx-
Aanaa, stated, that the plan would certainly be pre-
sented to his august master, and he had no doubt but
that it would have his acquiescence and support. He
trusted that it would be the means of giving education
not only to the childreti of the Russians, but of all the
Tartars and uncivilized nations under the protection
orthe Russian empire. He trusted that it would ex-
tend from Petersburgh to Kamtchatska, and he hoped
the time would arrive when the children of every poor
man in the world would have the benefits of educe-
tion. (Applause).
The Rev. Mr. CAMPBELL (one of the African mis-
sionaries) then stated to the company the benefits
which had been derived in Africa from their labours,
and from a plan similar to the present which had been
adopted at the Cape of Good Hope by the Governor,
Sir John Cradock.. He had himself travelled farther,
into the interior of Africa in this direction than any;
'Europeans had ever gone before. He had visited na-
[dons where white men had never been seen before,'
and having asked the King of Latacoo (a city con-
taining 1.500 houses, which had never before been se.-
sited) whether he would approve of missionaries being
sent to instruct his people ? the King, alter makieg
several objections, at length said, e Send them, and I
will be their father. I see that your people know
more than mine." He knew from his own experiencel
and observation, that the missionary establishments
were .much liked by the natives, who declared, that
" they did not know what was the reason of it, but
that they were much happier since those white men
came to live among them." There was a sort of
moral atmosphere that surrounded those missionary
establishments, whose influence was felt for at least
100 miles round. Au expedition had been sent by
Lord Caledon, to make discoveries in the interior of
Africa; and although protected by some military
under the command of Lieutenant Donovan, not a
man returned ; they were all killed by the natives.'
He himself, however, had penetrated much fatties
in safety ; and he wes'convinced, that when the- nee
tives considrred tee white men as their friends, 4,
would be as safe to travel through the wilds of rerica
as through the civilized countries of Europe. He
therefore, felt the strongest hopes that, by the labours
of the missionaries, adopting the present plan, the light
of knot; ledge might be diffused over all Africa, and
happiness both here and hereafter given to its inhabi-
tants—applause.
Alderman WOOO stated the great advantages which
he had witnessed from an institution of this sort in the
populous district where he resieed.
The Rev. ROWLAND HILL asked what crime a poor
little chile of Catholic or Seetarien parents could have
committed, that it should be pitnishe4 With perpetual

she was on the Ist of June, 179'2, will obtain an in-
crease of population when the Definitive Treaty shall

army will consist of 230,000 men, including the
household of the King, which will not exceed 30,000.
Several other arrangements will soon, it is said, be
known, unless the High Contracling Parties deter-
mine that they shall not be made public till after the
signing of the definitive treaty, which will take place
in London. At any rate what is already known of
the terms of this treaty has produced a great senw
