IRMO LOAN.

The Houfe having refolved into a Committee
of Ways and Means,
Mr. CORRY rofe and Rated, that in difcharging
his duty upon this occafion, he Ihould confine him.
fell thialy to the notice he had given on a former
day, refpeaing the conditions of the Loan con-
traited for the fervice of Ireland. Into the affairs
of that country he would therefore refrain fkom
entering at any length. With refpea to Supplies, it
was in the recollation of the Houfe, that a mode
of proceeding had been adopted, in the courfe of
the prefent Sefton, by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, of which the Houfe approved—follow.
ing that example he would Rare generally to the
Committee, without entering into details, the na-
ture of the Motion he had to fubmit to their con-
fideration. In regard to Supply, the Committee
were aware that no provifion was yet made for the
Military Eftablifhment of Ireland, and that the
Ways and Means were not adequate to the Supply
already voted. The Supply voted, comprifing the
intereft of the National Debt of Ireland, Parlia-
mentary Grants, and other Votes, amounted to
4,641,0001. the Ways and Means were, revenue,
3,000,0001. the Irifh Loan included in that con
trotted for by the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
about zpoo,oool. Irifh currency ; profits of the
Lottcry, zoo,oool. total 4,367,0001. ; there was
therefore an exceeding u: Supply over the Ways
and Means of feveralhundred thoufand pounds. In
confequence of this excels a Loan became need.
fary, and was calculated for the firm of 1,626,0001.
The balance which this created on the fide of the
Ways and Means, he had no doubt would he
thought by the Committee not more than fuffi.
dint to provide fur the Army for fix months. In
addition to what he had already Rated, he con-
fidered it neceffary barely to Rate the terms upon
which the Loan had been contraaed for, and he
felt great fatisfaition in laying that they were pre-
ferable to thofe of oily Loan which had been ever
obtained for Ireland ; or, he might venture to
add, to that of any Loan ever contracted for in
anv country. His Right Hon. Friend, the Chan-
crgar of the Exchequer, had, on opening the Bud-
get, drawn a pikure of the profperity of this
country in the soft forcible colours; he wifhed to
take the benefit of that defcription, and extend it
to Ireland—for in this intlance happily its fortune
was even more favourable than that of this coun- '
try, as the interett on the Loan for Ireland was
only 31. t6s. t id. per cent. while that on the
Engligh Loan was 31. tBs. per cent. The advan-
tage of cootie was on the fide of Ireland, and he
therefore hoped this contra would meet the ap-
probation of the Committee. This Loan, heobferv.
ed, was to be provided for out of the 34 per cent.
Irifh Stock ; and from the conditions the Lenders
were to have a bonus of 81. 18s. Ind. upon every
tool. advanced, by which means a capital would
be created in that si per cent. Stock of nearly
145 cool. frith currency above the furn aaually
borrowed. At the time the Loan was treating for
here, there 31 per cent. Stocks were at Ba, and the
Contraaor. went over to Ireland with this Rate-
ruent in tli•ir pocket. On their arrival there they
found their Rocks at 901, and they aftually con-
ducted for the Loan when tbefe Stocks were at

at 911. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded
with moving Refolutions according to his Rate-
ment, which were agreed to.
