Spanish Refugees.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMIES. Sir,-I beg you will insert in your paper some observa- .ti6rs su,ggested to me by the l:st display of English gene- rosity in bebalf of two Spanish refufgees,-observations ,in which, I am happy to say, I concur with the most rc- pectable part 6f iiy-Ountryrn-now--in-England.. With tlie warmnest feelings of pleasure and -ratitutde we have seen that the. liberality of the British pubeic, far from. being extinguished, ii rekinkd by tle e increasing misfor- tunes of our :countrymen; and this consideration makes it a duty to. us, atd -a rnost sacred one, to take care that the effects of this liberality be not misapplied. In the indlis- criminate pergecution that has driven, and is-continuallv driving, from Spain, vhatever is virtuous, and en',ightened, it is to be feared-nav, it may evelp be aseertained, that some unworthy people musttake advantge of the circum- stances, enideavouring to conceal their vices and indolence under tbe cloak of patriotism, and seeking abroad from public charity those means of subsistence they would not earn at lwme, and wlhicih, if obtained; they will apply to the vorst purposes. In order to prevent such an evil, or at all events it recirrence, I beg to propose, through your paper, that those who feel inclined to contribute to the re- lieY of Spanish refugees, will do it by delivering the sums they either give or collect to General Milna, -whose character stands so high, both amonigst the Spaniards anid in this country; and who, by his intercourse wvith the whole of us, is or m'ay be made acquaintcd with the most real and extreme (distresses, and vwith the properest objects of British generosity. I know that amongst the last arrivals there are many highly deserving characters rc(luccd to absolute necessity, who cannot be supplied from Gover-nment, and who have never received firom it nor from the English Com- mittee while it existed. In making you these observations, I am aetuated by no other motives than a wishlthat the produce of English bene- volence may be properly and justly distributed-that cheats may be prevented, wvhich would make our character suffer from the faults of private individuals; finallv, that sums honestly given to relieve virtuous misfortune, may be em- ployed according to the intentions of the donor, anil so ap- plied as "1 to bless those that give and those that receive." I remain. Sir. vour most obedient hii,rhlF e-Frv1llt. ANTONIO QUIROGA. 5, Wellesley.street, ChAesca, Nov. 20. SPANI18I REFUGEBS.
