cittosuaa, attended by Mr. CORRY and Mr. VAitstr.
TART, bad a meeting with the Gentlemen who propofe
to bid fur the Loan. The Parties were—

Stork Erdninge-.4oiat..—Mr.Smawitt.t. was pre( t, but had
no kit.

The obje& of the meeting was, to Rate the preli-
minaries of the new Loan. Mr.
..DDINGTON told
them, that in confequence of a contra& having been
made in Ireland for t,500,0001. there would be
wanted no more for the fervice of both Kingdoms
than t.5.,500,000L
Of which fum r 0,000,0001. would be for the fee.

reduced. and that the bidding mould be confined to
the lowell funs of 3 per cent. Confuls at which they
were willing to contra& The bidding to take place
on Monday morning next before ten o'clock.
Ile communicated to them at the fame time the
following particulars :
That the Exchequer Bills now in circulation were
about 5,000,0001. exclulive of what the Bank held
for their Charter of 3,000,0001. and of 7,500,0c01.
owing by Government to the Bank, and which will
become payable in July peat, but which the Bank
have agreed to renew ; and alto exclufive of the Ex-
chequer Bills which the Bank hold for duties as they
came in, and which may amount to about 2,500,0001.
He thought it right
i to inform the parties that, in
addition to all tho e Exchequer Bills, he fhould want
a further vote of credit for 2,600,0001.
Of whkh fum 800,0001. would be for the fervice
of Ireland; but he hoped and witted (and he laid
this in the pretence of Mr. Coaav) that there would
not be occafion for above s or 300,0001. of that fuels
as they were in hopes to rave soo,oool. out of their
own means there: but he thought it right to fay that
the whole might be wanted.
And though he thus took 1,700,000 t. of a vote of
credit for the due of Exchequer Bills for the fervice
of England, yet as it was his intention to pay off the
fum of 5,500,0001. of old Exchequer Bills, it would
be an addition of only soo,oooL to the fum in circa-
lation. _

The plan thus propofed by the Mitiaer Is foam-
what novel, and feems to give very general fatisfac-
lion. Their are 'to be no annuities, as hretufocr.,,
and the bidding is to be in Confols and not in reduced
Rock. This faense will tend to put the glividenda
of the Reduced more upon a level with thole of thu
Confols, and is calculated, of courfe. to didribum
money to the Public more largely than heretofore, in
the months of April and Petober.
The payments are to be made thus :
