In private letter No. II, dated 9Th November,
1863. JUNIUs says, a have been out OF town
these three weeks, and though got your letter
could not conveniently answer it." The last
clause of this sentence proves that the frs'
mart of II was no rmse but was the simple
truth. WALPoLR, on the other hand, writes
TO Lady OssoRY, a letter dated Arlington
Street a6th October, in which he tells her thai
he has fingered In town until that time (he
had returned from the continent, be 1t rennem-
bered, on the 1ith) waiting for Lord HERT-
poRp who was detained BY the dangerous
illness of Mrs. HARRIS. On the 9th OF NO
vember, he writes to CONWAY (siill from Ar
lingten Street) that he had met with General
PAoLI at Court, the week before Three
weeks reckoned back from the sth November
bring us to the 18th October. Unless the same
man can be both in and out Of town at the
same time, WALPoLB certainly was not JU-
MUS. ss
WALPoLR went to France again in 177J, hav-
ing set out, we presume, between the 5th and
sth of July. for we find him writing to Mr..
OaUTE, from Amiens, on the 9th, and to the
same correspondent from Paris, on the 10th
While at Paris he writes to other correspon.

and that he arrived the day before, 10Th Sept,

JUKIus employed during that interval?
The letter to the Duke OF Grafton which
produced his controversy with the Rev. JOHN
doRNR, afterwards the celebrated JNo. HORNE
TooKE,) is dated 9th July, 177l, the very day
on W hich WALPoLR wrote to Mr.. CHUTE from
Amiens. To that letter HORNE replied four
days after, July i3th, It'll. To this letter j q.
MUS wrote an answer, which was enclosed in
one to WooDFALL. The letter to WooDPALL is
dated the 10th, three days after HORHEs reply
had appeared in the Public Advertiser. We are
to suppose, then, that WALPoLE, still at Paris,
had received the paper Of the 18th. answered

time when It took more time than that for the
Post to travel from London TO Paris! The
thing is impossible. This letter to HORNE was
private, with permission to publish if he
thought proper. He did think proper, and
it appeared in the Public Advertiser on the
2ith OF July. HoRsRs rejoinder appeared one
week after, 3ist July, and JUHIUs made re-
ply IT, this rel binder, under date OF 18th Au-
gust, the very day on which WALPoLE dates
one Of his letters to CHUTB from. Paris!
Nuch more might be said to the same effect.
But we think we have already shown that
WALpoLR could not possibly have been JU-
MUS. We regret very much that an argu-
ment constructed with 50 much ingenuity as
that Of Mr. REESE, should have flaws which
are fatal TO it. Nevertheless we regard his as
the strongest case that has yet been made Out
