g Ia my former letters think mentioned
the miserable state Of the Inhabitants Of the
island Of Fogo, by cause Of famine. am
sorry now to inform you that they have arri-
we'd at the last stage Of human suffering. By
an arrival from there yesterday, We learn
from unquestionable authority. that ID the
parish Of st. Lawrence the deaths for the last
ten days have averaged per day. from actla-
a starvation, and it is calculated that rs per.
day in the whole Island perish for want of
food We have already received, three or
four thousand Ofthese miserable beings, which
makes our burthen very heavy,-as this ISL
and the last year did not produce enough for
her own population, and was ii not for a res
ervation Of Indian Corn kept in the husk, by
several Of the most wealthy Inhabitants, for
some years past, should be as badly OF AZ our
Togo brethren. Although We have number
of ships constantly touching here, which gives
as an advantage over them we can expect
no help from Portugal as long as she is in this
distracted state, and would TO God some of
onr public spirited philanthropists would open
a subscription and send a cargo or two Of In
dian Corn and coarse bread TO the poor suf-
ferers, in fact any thing that would keep soul
and body togeiher-it would be real charity,
as they have nothing in return but their pray
ers. Farmers who have been in the habit Of
receiving 5000 bushels yearly, have received
this year no more than so! and some not
kernel! And the general distress Of the times
will not allow Of any individuals supporting
the whole poor. ] support seven myself, be-
sides transient charity. am happy to say
you will find 10 the natives Of this Island a re-
ally charitable feeling. A few days since
yacht came loaded with so Of them, and iD
three or fbur hours they were all accommo-
dated with homes. We have had visit from
with the Hon. F. Baylies, lady and suite, on
board, and never were more gratiled. Capt.
Geisinger, officers and crew, are every thing
that can make an American proud ofhis coun-
try and its laws-and from what little have
seen Of Mr.. Baylies, think the President and
Senate have made choice Of a man who will
do honor to his station and country ] cannot
but mention one little circumstances the Pea
cock was here when the $50 poor fellows
were turned out on the beach. and immedi-
ately Capt Geisinger sent bags rice, A bags
bread, brl. beef, and brl. pork, to be dis.
tributed among them. All these things look
well, and exalt our national character. Ex-
cuse this long detail--wonld ia God that Our
highly public spirited merchants may extend
their usual charity to the poor sntisrers Of
Fogo."
