London, Nov. 11. We hear that the rage of resigning, which was said to have got abroad, has suddenly stopped. Intimation, it is whispered, was given to the foremost of the number who intended a secession, that Conscience, or Honour, could not have dictated a resignation of all; and the more lucrative they were, the more meritorious would be the relinquishing of them; and that therefore the resignation of one place would be considered as a resignation of all. Upon which the proposed resignation was prudently retracted, with as good a grace as it could be done.
