. Read a Letter from the Lord Hilltop of Duaneu, dated from
Auckland Cattle, Ausu ft aki,
At • County Meeting Bolden yefterday at Durham, I was rt-
qUetted to tranfinit to you the Lift of the Subreribers to the Patri-
otic Fund from the County of Durham, with their rerpedire turns,
amounting to 4041, tos.rubferibed; together with the Refolutions
then agreed to, which relate to the Fund under your cue. The
Meeting was of opinion, that a portion lhou'd be referred from the
General Contribution for the objedks requiring more immediate at-
tention than can be received from you, on account of your &lance
from the metropolis, and the numerous applications you mutt ne-
ed:lardy have in the moment of difficulty; therefore, the Sub-
kribers are to intimate, winthertheir Subfcriptions are to be tranf-
*Pitted to you for the General Purports of the Fund ; or whether
t►ey are to be coofined to this County t I need not trouble you
oink the local ceetribedase. _ _

"I ma olderve.that so account of the money materna of this
County, at this time, it has been thought expedient that the Ga-
=tte the General purpofes of the Patriotic Fund &paid be
our monthly iodates:sus, which will be remitted to you
conformably to the it deletions • and I hope, that the Committee
of Managen appointed yesterday, for the Subferiptions for the
County of Durham, win have to remit conaderable additions to
the Duns already fubferibed. I am, Gentlemen, with high regard
and 'Deem Your faithful humble fervent, S. DUN ELM"
Relayed, That the following =firer be returned to the Lord
Whop of Dimmest;
VT LORD. LLOYD'S, AUGUST 26, 1503.
I am dared by the Committee for managlogthe Patriotic Fund,
to acknowkdte the receipt of your Lorahip's Letter, dated the
23d infant, and to return their grateful thanks to the Subferibers,
"bac names you have been pleated to tranfmit me, for their very
liberal contribution In aid of the patriotic exertion of this Sub-
feription, amounting to aeral. Jos.
It has been the fubjeft of frequent enquiry, from different places,
whether the ref nation mentioned by your Lordalp,ikotall not be
adopted for the benefit of natives or others, patient at a &Rance
from the Metropolis; but the Committee eon:utast:den opinion,
{bat the appropriedon will be more tarred and elk:kat, and par-
Ocularly lob liable to hood, If the fubkriptions in every part of
the United Kingdom, merged Into the Fund at Lloyd's In the aril
inftance. And it Is the intention of the Committee to advert to
mews of attributing rewards and relief to thole who may made
In attain places, without fubjuiting the parties to the trouble and
expeuce of ajoerney to London. which they have nuke to believe,
from pat experience, will cot be dalcult.
But I em more particularly di:oiled by the Committee to con-
vey to your Lordatip, and to the Subkribers, the high fenfe they
entertain of the dlftinguUhed public kirk and peal of men, who
extend their liberality beyond the bounds of their prefent cane-
gozetry, sod who manila, by that means, an attachment to their
, and gratitude towards its Defenders, which I truß will
prove • brilliant and loco:fate! example. I have the honour to be,
with great refpea, year Lortlibies mod obedient and mot bumble
flervant, FRANCIS BARING, Chairman.
