which he calls on me to disavow. It is, Geod..

very often loses his temper.—(Load opplosse.)
Mr. Hobhouse has called this paper an infamous
falsehood, and applied lawny other harsh retires-
sions to it, which I will not repeat. If Iwe e
iu-
ctined to use such words (which certainly I will not)
with respect to his celebrated report, that hos le.t
him his seat in Westminster, the subject ennui
very well admit of them. As to the paper elm ii
lie has thus referred to, it is the fair arguineiit
an individual on the statement which ?.Ir. Ilubhuu.e
has sent forth, and which lie denominates a oleo
of Reform. Mr. Hubliouse, so far from feeling
offended, ought to be obliged to any person
fur giving him an opportunity of eat lasing g
it. In fact, the Gentlemen who wrote the paper
ought to claim the reward of 1,000/. fur in.k-
