I&ISH LOAN.

-----
The Moore went into a Committee of Wajs and Mans.

Mr ',OSTER rule, to date the terms andeircumftances under
Which he had contratted fur the Loan for Ireland. Me fald, that
the Loan required vs.s for woo;e0oL towards the frrvice of the
year, the reit to be railed by Treafury lulls. The nature of the
Loan was, chat in England the offer made was tool in the s per
cent. Short Annuities, aLd sot. in the 3 per cent. Long Annuities.
The amount of the espeuee to the nation on the Loan was to 61.
ys. ad. per cent which he could hardly think w0..1d be deemed
a dithdvantageons Loan. The former loan for Ireland of
2.560.0001. was dune at et. 175. yd. per cent. a difference in favour
of the prefent Loan of sd. per cent. This decided the preference
in favour of the loan grit made. A further advantage of Ohioan
Was, that it created no capital, but Was all done by way of annu-
ities; whereas, if critical had been created, it muft be liquidated
in time. Then: were rumours refpeding the offer in Ireland,
which he aloft with to contradict, and the effedts of which be
was defirous to obviate. The Mike in Ireland was tool. in the 3

Amounting to Ins. id. per cent. more than the price In England,
and creating a capi!.al of 1481. per cent. initead of nal. in
Annuities. he frith Loan would have added arsco,o.:ol. to the
debt of Ireland. The huh Suhfcribcrs uffired at a bonus of 131.
per scut. which, it it had been accepted, the man who accepted
of it would have been at raigned on his prudence. A good deal of
mifreprefebtation has found its way to the public on this fubjed.

of Ireland. The Irih Subferibers pretended to a tight to hone
the Loan, and would not take back their depofit money. Now
how was this f The Irina Subferibers offered, in the brit inflame,
to take the Loan at 491. 23. 6d.; that was rejected. They neat
offered to take it at 4. too per ctnt.; that was rejected ; and laft-
ly, they gave in their final terms at 431. The Lords of the Ilea-
fiery In Ireland thought it too high, and fent over the offer to Eng-
land. Wee Mr. Fuller read the letter of the Milt Suhfcrihers,
in which they agree t 6 abide by the deciflon of the . Chancellor
of the Exchequer of Ireland (hitnielf) and to wait till the
return of his anfwer. Mr. Folter refufed to comply with the
terms. The Subferiberai however, had fo far acquiefced in the
referenee. that they Militated, that it. the Englith 14.)-dallaould be
below s7j per cent. on the return ofthe anfwer, thould the an-
fwer be favourable, the difference was to be made good to thud.—
Mr. Fofter did every thing in his power to avoid giving unneeef-
fary trouble to the frith Subferibers ; and no delay was interpored
in returning them an anfwer. The terms were difpatched from
Dublin at three o'clock op Monday afternoon, and at twelve
o'clock on the Sunday following his anfwer was received in Dublin,
thting, that he could not riteive the propofal of the Subferibers.
Thia Was the true ftate of thi.. fart. No wonder, however, if the
Irifh Subfcribers were anziom to get the Loan into their hands,
for they would in fuch cafe receive a bonus of it per cent. which
he mull think was 'the objed of their anxiety and Jealoufy. Mr.
Yofter now moved his Refolutions. . .

Sir JOHN NEWPORT expreffed his apprebation of the Loan.
Hs was happy to fnd the affair of the Irish Subfcrahers, on which
rumour bad been bury, fo well and fatisfadlorily explained. The
rumour would roVo fublide. He timid always be better 'leafed
if the Loans fur Ireland were negotiated in this country. Ireland
being poor ; and what of capital it poffeSks being wanted in aid of
ha trade and maniifaaurers.

The Refs.lotions were now agreed to, the Houk refused, and
the report was orJetedto be received on Mondatneat.

men killed in the affirm, which baled three hours, and
but one Rightly wounded.
By the fubjoined letter received this morning we
