The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

It was on the same day that the Parliament was prorogued, that Mr. (late General) Conway, received his letter of dismission. It has been said, that this gentleman, upon one question, voted with the Minority in Parliament.

We hear that a certain General officer, who was lately turned out of his regiment, and who is adored by the army for his bravery, humanity and integrity, has begged of all his friends not to express the least murmur or dissatisfaction on his account, as he is content with having served his country in his profession, and in Parliament, without enjoying the smallest gratuity.--A rare example of moderation, virtue and disinterestedness, May it be imitated!

The following letter was sent by the Corporation of Thetford to General Conway:

To Lieutenant General Conway.

"We the Mayor, Aldermen, and Corporation of Thetford, desire to return you our most unfeigned and grateful thanks, for your late spirited, conscientious, and unbiased conduct . parliament ; particularly on that most important question to the liberties of us all, the seizure of private papers by the warrant of a Secretary of State; a question which remaining undecided, must make every Englishman tremble ; and which, till declared to be illegal, leaves the glorious revolution imperfect.

Your behaviour, Sir, on that occasion was worthy of the unblemished integrity, which you have always manifested. Superior to bribes or menaces, you have demonstrated your civil courage to be equal to your military; you have fought the battles of your country against domestic and foreign enemies.

We know your services ; and we have heard that they were particularly. recommended to favour by that great judge of martial merit, Prince Ferdinand. These honours,.: Sir, cannot be taken from you. Some sorts of rewards may be envied you by selfish and designing ministers, who may know that you scorn to support unconstitutional measures ; but your country (and may it continue !) this free country, in whose cause you have fought from the noblest and most disinterested motives, will join in conferring thc best o. rewards--its applause.' There are seasons, when it would be a disgrace not to be. disgraced. Continue to act as you have done ; and may every borough in the kingdom be as worthily represented as the corporation of Thetford. Dated at our Guildhall, this 28th of April, 1764."

It has been' reported that there was an intention of. dismissing five more General Officers. Lord A--, Lord C-a-, Sir J: G--, Gen.Ha+-, Gen. F- And of carrying on t.he spirit of Dismissing, even down o low as Sir A-i-Gta-: he having also voted with the Minority upon one Question.

EPIGRAM.

They quite mistake brave Conway's Case,
Who thinks his Treatment hard ;
Where Service planly's a Disgrace,
Dismiss ion's a Reward.
