In confequence of the Letter which the !rifts
Chancellor of the Exchequer fent to Mr. PUGET,
relative to the Loan to be railed in Ireland, the
following Gentlemen, who propofe to bid for the
Irith Loan, waited yeaerday afternoon on Mr.
Cater, viz.

Mr. Puo Et, Mr. Gotbstetn, Mr. Alderman
FLOWER, Mars. BUItItOWSI, Mr. ROWCRATT, Mr.
ShEWIL, Mr. BISH, Mr. GLOVES, Mr. &IV e-
WKIGHT, Meflh. JORDAN, &C.
Mr. CORKY expreffeci a pleafure in teeing fo
many Gentlemen, as the fum required was to in.
conliderable. He then briefly explained his in-
tentions of railing a Loan of 1,6251,0001. Iriffi, to
be bid for on the 6th of May, in I:eland ; and to
leave it to the option of the bidder, either to take
it in a 3 per Cent. Stock, or a 3/ per Cent. Stock.
He fhould prefer it to be taken in a 3/ per Cent.
as there was already a fimilar Stock in Ireland,
which it was his intention to confolidate with the
new Loan, if taken in a 31 per Cent. and as an
inducement to bid in this Fund, he had fixed the
Interell to commence, if in a 3/ per Cent. from
the 25th of December, 18ot ; if in a 3 per Cent.
not till the sth of April, 11302. However, there
could be no difficulty in afcertaining which was
moll advantageous for the public, as the teak
could eafily be made out on a proportion as 7 to 6.
Should an equal proportion be bid in both, thofe
whofe bidding was for a 34 per Cent. Stock would
be declared the purchafers. He had fixed the pay-
ments as under :

Depofit ' - £.100,000

Allowing 4 per Cent. for prompt payment on
fuch rums as may be paid up in full after the 15th
of May.
For the accommodation of the Contradors he
intended to deliver either Scrip Receipts fimilar to
thofe given in England, or to grant Debentures of
501. and tool. each, but the anterea muff be re-
ceived in Ireland.

On being anted whether he should want any
more money this year, to be railed in Iceland ? he
replied he thould confider himfelf at liberty to
raife any (inn not exceeding one trillion by way
of Exchequer Bills, but the precife fum he was
not prepared to afcertain at prefent.

Sir EDWARD Lew was fworn in on Monday lafl,

the Peerage by the title of Lord KESWICK.
The Hon. Srtacsa PARCITAL was on Tuefday
fwot nin as his Majefty's Attorney General. It is
fuppofed that Mr. MANNIRS SUTTON Will be the
Solicitor General.

We underfland that Dr. &mum, Bilhop of
Cloudier, is to be tranflAted to the See of St.
David's; and that Dr. HUNTINCFORD, the War-
den of Winchaer, will be the new Bil:hop. The
latter was tutor to the Mr. ADDINCTONS, and is
an excellent fcliolar, and a firli-rate divine.

Tuefday morning a party of Lint feamen befet
a Boatfwain's Mate in the Market-place, at Ply.
mouth, and beat him mull unmercifully : the
town's-people interfered, and took him into ahoufe
for ffielter. On remonflrating with them on their
cruelty, as he did not belong to their fhip, they
replied, he was a Boatfwain's Mate, and that was
a fullicient reafon for giving him "a good baiting."
Yefterday being the laft day of drawing the
State Lottery, the firfl-drawn was entitled to !cool.

On the arrival of the French expedition at the
ifland of St. Domingo, there were in the different
ports about fixty fail-of• American veffels freighted
with Roar. The Commanders of the French troops
propofed to the owners to purchafe their cargoes,
by .a payment of one-fifth in fpecie, and to give
bills on the Republican Government for the re-
mainder; an arrangement which was rejetted.—
As the French troops were in extreme want of pro-
vilions, the Admiral and Captain General declared
the cargoes in ajitate of requifitinn, aid feized them
for the ufe of the expedition. This adt of violence,
however, committed in fuch circumftances, will no
doubt he eafily explained, and is not likely to pro-
duce any ferious mifundei (landing.
It is mentioned in letters from Amfterdam, that
Greek merchants arrived there join in the reports
of the affembling of Auflrian troops in the neigh.
bourhood of Lemberg. Letters from Frankfort
likewife (late, that the Ruffian troops deflined to
ad in concert with the Auftrian army have already
penetrated into Moldavia. A letter from Vienna
of the 26th March fays, “ The entry of the Ruffian
troops into the territory dependant on Choczim is
confirmed.by feveral letters from Lemberg and
Hermenßadt. Subfequent accounts, however,
fay nothing further on the fubje&. If thefe ac-
counts are true, Come hoftile meafitres again!! the
Turkifh Empire teems to be in contemplation. In
that cafe, if France were to refufe to interpofe to
prevent it ; or if the were to connive at any dif-
memberment of Turkey, this country would be
juftrfied in retaining poffeftion of Egypt. It cer-
tainly would be in the power of France and Pruf-
fia to compel Auftria to deft& from any aggref-
lion on the Porte. Pruffia cannot remain a tame
fpetlator of the aggrandifement of Auftria, unlefs
the has fecured Come indemnification to herfelf.—
We Rill entertain confiderable doubts, however,
that any plan of partition is yet ripe for execution.
