[London, Dec.15] Enquiry has been made whether there was no
reply to Lord C--m; we can at present find only the
following: In answer to the sentiments of this great
patriot, another orator, well known under the title of a
remarkable impeaching character in the Beggar's Opera,
remarked, "That tho' he never remembered to have heard the
noble Earl's sentiments coincide so nearly with him in some
points, as they did on the present occasion; yet he could
not help considering his assertions in general to be mere
ipse dixits, or matters of opinion. . .
