We therefore entreat our
patrons and friends in England to open a subscription in their behalf.
The boon of Charity shall be punctually acknowledged in the public
papers, and conscientiously distributed, agreeably to the object for
which it was designed, by a committee appointed for the purpose. Those
who partake of it will bless their benefactors, and their grateful
prayers for them will ascend to Heaven.

_We, the Burgomaster and Council of the city of Leipzig, hereby
attest the truth of the deplorable state of our city, and of the
villages around it, as faithfully and pathetically described in a
Memorial dated November 1st, and addressed to the British nation
by some of our most reputable and highly-respected
fellow-citizens, namely, the bankers Messrs. Frege and Co. Messrs.
Kuestner and Co. Messrs. Reichenbach and Co.; and recommend it to
the generosity which has, in all ages, marked the character of the
British nation. We have formally authenticated this attestation,
by affixing to it the seal of our city, and our usual signature._
(L.S.) D. FRIEDRICH HULDREICH CARL SIEGMANN,
Acting Burgomaster.
