CAPE DE VERD IsLANDs--The benevolent
citizens of Philadelphia, have already col
lected and expended upwards of ten thou
sand dollars for the benefit ofthe suffering
inhabitants of these islands, and have re
Gently had another meeting to raise more
funds for the same praise-worthy purpose.
Their call has met with the l,berality that
has ever characterized an American pub
lie. a letter has been received by the
committee appointed by that meeting from
the captain ofthe vessel which carried out
the provisions, stating, the sufIerings of the
Inhabitants of the island of St Antonio to
be greater than can be imagined by per
sons who do not partially witness them
Famine, with all its concomitant conse-
quences, has spread over the island, en-
bracing population of 20, 600 souls, 1900
of whom have died of actual starvation,
Instances had been known, where the liy-
ing were driven to the horrible necessity
of devouriDg the remains of those who
died before them. The heart sorrows and
turns with grief from the contemplation OF
such scenes. If spark Of CHARITY, ever
found place in our bosoms. it should new.
from the hearts Utmost recess, come forth
and extend the helping hand of that heav-
en- born principle.
We subloin letter from two citizens Of
that island detailing an account of their
sufferings.

the four elements had combined IN a
league the better to effect the complete
annIhllation of the Inflated inhabitants.
Rain which was wont to he plentiful IN
the months Of August and September, was
eagerly but in vain looked for. The seeds
and plants which the husbendman with
SO much toll and care, had committed 10
the ground, produced disapPo,ntmen; and
despair. The intense heat Of the sun in
October scorched. burnt and destroyed all
sorts of fruitful vegetation.
Here began the work Of famine! Its
ravaces spread into every corner of the
