The anxiety of - the Public this morning to "know the result of the biddings for the Loan, was greater than on any former.occasion ; end this was increased by the Contractors who had gone to Westminster, not arriving at the Stock Exchange till a late hour, to communicate the result. Many were indeed alarmed, ender an apprehension that ti►r Loan would ti b e taken ; an immense crowd collected id Bartholomew lane and the Alley leading to the 'Change, by which access was almost prevented. At last a person on horseback arrived express from Westminster, who made his way through the multitude, and, on enter ing the Change, informed them than Gentlemen composing the Lists had coalesced, and taken the Lean at MI. in the Consols. The premium on the Loan is 1 to 1. Onanium was done in the morning at ;it fell to 1 when the terms of the Loan were announced.— Three per Cents. Reduced also fell from 571 to 65i. The Contractors are of opinion that they have the best of the bargain with the pnblic. The terms on which the Lean has been taken show pretty plainly how much Ministers possess the cort*. dame of the monied men. When Lord GREY and his friends were expected to coma into office, Three per Cent. Reduced were at ON ;—they have since fallen nearly 5 per tent.; and if the present Minis. ten continue in office, it is expected they will be coo. siderably tower. ..IFININes.... The conversation which took place last night In the House of Commons, bel.%; oen SIIEIIIOI3I and Lord YARMOUTH, has excited great , .irinsity in the minds of the publie, - as it will he extremely difficult, if not impossible, for one of the pirty to vindicate his conduct. We shall forbear to anticipate the re sult of the discussion to-morrow evening, when *he motion comes forward ; hut from the well-earned 1 fame of Mr. Suerunati, on many occasions, we ea tartain very little doubt of his being able to justify his conduct, and to remove the Injurious reports which have beeu industriously circulated to his prejudice coa.l this occasion. It is well 1 nown that Mr.SuEnt DAN is not remarkable for sobriety ; and from Lord YaRMOUTII'S own statement, it ise% ident, that if any thing did pan, it was a mere drunken frolic vier Cie bottle, late at night, and what Mr. SHERIDAN never thought again of in the morning, and appears indeed to have forgot altogether. It should also be recollected, that Lord YARMOUTH has resided some time in France, where intrigues are practised more successfully than in this country ; and his Lordshift is known to baits adept at games of chance, in which Mr. Sciranocu l . 2:!th all his faults, is totally unacquainted. It may he We. that Mr. SHERIDAN has a great attachment to the PRINCE RRDENT ; but no have no sight to sup. pose that he. wanted to debase himself in be old age,' and carry with him to the grave, the execration oc his political trial& so& of the public io rueful, by, lendipg himself to the most atsnoNoualar.t !DR. POSE, that of erecting a DARRtER between the PRINCE and his Ministers, who alone are responsible to the Country for their actions. It is stated, in accounts from the United States, that the President ace Essex frigates had sailed under orders to protect the American toast, and particularly to keep open the ports of Philadelphia and New ork. As there are British misers on that part of coast, the issuing of such orders by the Ame rican Government certainly evinces a hostite disposi t, it,. t is confidently reported at Plymouth, that the ouch hare another marauding squadron at sea.-- IL. lat. 26.47. long. 7. 46. two ships of the line, and two frigates, were seen steering to the southward, which 4id not repeat the signals-made by the .dbun, dance storeship. This occurred on the lstinst. A Deputation of Gentlemen, we regret to state, is arrived in town fiom Lancashire, to communicate the important fact to Government, that a discovery had been made of the Luddites having established se veral forges in that county, for the manufacture of pikes and darts, a sample of which the Gentlemen have in their possession. We are in hopes, that these will prove extreme cases, exaggerated by very natt•ral apprehensions into systems. Nocturnal meetings, however, continue to be held by the Lud dites at stated periods, in remote and elevated situ ations. ..

It appeared in evidence, that the Prosecutor was in company with Lord Spencer, walking along Pall-mall, when Mr. Jae reys assailed him in the most affronting language, and upbraided the Noble Lord in company e i , h Mr. Tierney, for walking with him. The Prosecutor, to avoid the Defendant, attempted to enter a shop in Pall-mall, but the I)ef.udant got between him and the door, and putting himself in a boxing attitude, prevented it. It appeared that Mr. Jeflereys had conceived that the Prosecutor had attempted to in jure him in trade; but Mr. Tierney di.ehaimed any such attempts, and ari.aled, on the contrary, that he had even recommended him.
