The closest I can find is that they once got into an argument over Lamb's political indifference to Napoleon. Apparently this was something of an achievement, as Lamb seems to have had a particularly pacific temperament.
Whatever it was, it does not seem to have permanently damaged their friendship, as Lamb was at Hazlitt's bedside when he died.

They once came to blows over whether Holbein had a better use of colour in painting than Van Eyck. Sounds a little more cultured that the arguments we get at my local.
