When Mr. Colter acquainted them, the fum *anted would be two millions, to be railed in Ire• land, where the biddings are to take place. Mr. Costar requefled to fee the bidders on Saturday Morning, to give in their propofels.- They thought proper, .however, to inform him, that, before they could form a judgment of the price they ought to bid, it would be necettary to be informed what would be the amount of the Loan for England.

We Rated in this paper on Wednefday, that diG ;inches had been received at the Admiralty from Lord Nir.som, and that it was generally believed in the bell informed circles that they contained art ac 'ount of the French fleet having made their efcape from Toulon. On further inquiry we find that his tordhip did attually Rate this circumftance in his ietters, and therefore the report circulated yefterday 'ref - peeing an ninon between the Eng and French Sects, in which his Lnrd(hip loft his life, and fa fail 'were taken,, is in force degree believed at the Admi t alty. We are allured, however, that at ten o'clock this tnctrning Government had received no account qg soy fuch *event bath% 'taken place.

The doors of Tunnicliff's Hotel, at which they put'up, are generally befieged with carriages. They make their morning villa before the perfons vilited are nut of bed, and receive suitors in the fatne way. This forms an additional inducement for many of our Gentlemen, who are much gratified by an op. portunity of paying their refpeas to the lovely bride before the has left her couch. Her charms.
