. To'tie Ladies of Baltimore.-■
TO alleviate d'iftrefs is the pecu
liar province of t he female sex ; the
hand of nature formed them, no
less to fiiiooili {he afpeiity of man,
,and give a geiulenel's to his difpo
fiuon, than to avert_ misfortunes
from destroying his peace, or de
piivi»,g them of their severity when
they may occur. Being coiifcious
of this truth, it may be unnecefl'aiy
to remind the fair, that an oppor
tunity has now offered to display
the generous attributes of their
jouls. Our valued allies now im
plore aflillance ; escaping front the
Ruffian barbarity of a murderous
mob, deprived of* .1 ll that fortune
had prelentedj or their indaitry had
accumulated, they seek refuge in
this afyjlin* of peace and .happiness,
■without food to support.their droop
ing bodies, or clothes to protert
them from the inclemency of the
■climate.—The liberality of our ci
tizens is already preparing to afford
their mite ; b»it how many leinale
fti angers,many of them lately blefl
ed with affluence, demand the more
immediate and particular attention
cf their own sex I Once furnifhed
with every luxury of life, they now
would gladly receive the humbled
pittance—Very few pofl'ef* a second
change of garments, and it is in
this that you can especially aflifV
them ; thitik but a moment on their
helplel's situation, their impoverish
ed infants, torn from the hapless
partneis of their misfortunes, their
huibands, fathers—and my feeble

careful with regard to navigation ; the Spa

from this p'aee and Gibraltar, with orders to
protect every velfel coming this way with
grain and any other goods j confeqnently the
