A morning paper says, a Right Honourable defaulter declared at his own table, within these few days, to several Gentlemen, that he was so far from being sorry at the public arraignment of his honour and integrity, that he should hold it as the happiest incident of his life; being no ways doubtful, but that he should clear himself from the imputation in a manner that would place him beyond the malice of his enemies, and seat him where they would least of all wish him to be; namely, in the good opinion and confidence of the people.
