Lwe copy thefohowing trvm s Morning Vapor
• days since, after a dinner' vit. by tivt
A few.
Earl of B. the 'conversation lathed, upon, the I ,e•
Eleetien for the City of Westutioster, partirtil:i !y
•in relation to the tnest-ditingui.hed of all the
.didates, Mr. S. and the expences with which his
contest was attehded. In the coorse lit' t) 'c.o.
versation, the Noble Host, turning •to Mr. J. a
particular friend of Clentleman, whom sortie
"the company appeared ready to .tiet down to a
large extent on the debtor side of the account,
,snide
" Mr. S. owes my friend kird P. there, pointing to
Nobleman at the table, 3001. advanced on his be-
half, will you give your time for the amount, pay-
able at twelve months ?" Mr. J. answered, that be
had no right to intermeddle so far in the atftirs"l4
his friend, nor did he think any matt had vi.right, tei
put such a question, to Trim. He did believe tlot
his friend had been much misrepresented; that mati:',
debts were imputed to him which he never ()weft':
and that any that he did owe were greatly cy.a.,c-

gerated. With this impression, be In-ream -nothing.
more than to impress on the compsny the propriety
and justice of not advancing any charge of thi.
kind against his friend, unles4 they were co:,
vinced that they spoke upon certain g,tanyls.--
On the next day Mr. J. metliis trieni Mr. S. nr,,t
communicated to him the 'Charge that bait hem
made against bin., on the preceding evening, at :the
table of Earl B. at which Mr.. S. lexine•ored'grait
surprise, and declared tlvil lie had not the slightecit
recollc&ion of any such debt. Thinking, howevet,
that some of his agents might have received a loan
to that extent fro Letd P. he made diligent in-
quiry among them, when they all denied that they
had ever received any money from his Lordship for
Mr. S. or upon any other account.
Things 'remained in this state until Tuesd:,v
last, when several of the same company, int-11)&1,g
the Earl of 1.1. Mr. S. Mr. J. dined with the
Marquis of H. After dinner Mr. S. who felt much
hurt at the story, took. the Earl Of 8: aside, and..
remonstrated with him on the unfeended charge
which he had 'made, 'rhe Noble Earl denied that
he had ever said anything to that eirea ; andaddea,
" that what he ha 4 Said was
~private, and ought
not to have been mentioned out of doors." 'Ms
answer, however, was net eintsidered pert'e&tly
satisla6tory, and after many more words upon
the subjetl, the Noble EStl lets the room. Mfr.
S. and his friend Mr. J. withdreW 'shortly at
ter, and comin4 down Mount-street, went into.`
the Mount Copse-house, where they met the
Earl of .13. The latter, on seeing Mr. J. started
up, and putting his hand into his waistcoat-pocket,
exclairued, " 4'll shoot you!" Mr. J. wized a
poker, placed himself in an attitude of defence,
and rejoined, " Come on." lord' S. and S. hap-
pened to be present, and with Mr. S. interposed, to
prevent the parties from coming to blows. ' A meet- °
ing, however, was tixed for the next day, 'Wednu—
dai, at two o'clock; and it was agreed, Lord and '
S: and Mr. S. the former Hi the second of the Earl
of li. and the latter as the second of Mr. J.
to arrrange all the preliminaries. On Wedneshy.
however, Mr. S. was indispoied; and confined to hi;
bed, and Lord S. and S. politely waited upon 1)4,11,
when a. conversation took place, which indmeit
them to remonstrate with Il r prin,!ipals, turd tr!,,
deavour to bricig about a rcuontihatioa, in
)u mane undertaking they happly s!A;',.eedect,
Earl of si. consenting to make an. to Mr. J.
and all the parties, save Lurvi S. and S. and agrecinz
to apologise to the Marquis of a. fur ,kturbing
pleasures of his bospiutOle tellle loy thing
proaching to a quarrel. '• • • •
Wee rejoice that the attiir has .thus ended • but,
at thew:title time, we hope that, it will operate as
caution to ninny, who, more from levity than ill
will, are apt to propagate stories of this kind, to the
disadvantage of their friends and neighbours.
