It was occasioned by various libels which have appeared in the Scotch journals (the Beacon and Centinel) which have been established on the model of John Bull. Sir Alex. , who was a great Tory and had an unfortu- nate talent for lampooning, wrote very much in those journals, and is supposed to have contributed, when in London last year, very largely to John Bull. It is certain that he was well received at the Pavilion, and was made... a baronet at the Coronation. He had libelled so many people that, after the late detection, he could not possibly escape a duel. Lord Archibald Hamilton and Lord Duncan, who had been much calumniated in the Scotch papers, had determined to challenge him ; and Lord Duncan was actually on his way to Scotland for the purpose. Canning's^ notice of motion was a great surprise upon the House, and most of all on his late colleagues. ^ Canning was again Foreign Secretary.
