Last Saturday Evening came to Town from New York, his Excellency General GAGE, accompanied by Colonel Robertson and Maitland, Majors Small and Sheriff, and Captains Kemble, Mathurine and Gamble. The General was received by the Troops under Arms, in the Common, and as he passed the Train they saluted him with 17 Guns. It is now reported that the Head Quarters for the Army, is to be in this Town. The Captains White, Watt and Dashwood, were to leave London for this Place a few Days after Captain Jenkins. It is said that the Lodgment of a Number of Soldiers in the Court House, and even in the Representatives Room, was by Order of the G--r without the Consent or Advice of the C---ol. It is hoped that the peace and good order among the inhabitants of this town, who however are not, and never can be reconciled to the thoughts of their being made a garrison, will convince the gentlemen lately arrived, that there can be no necessity for the troops to be quartered in the body of the town, but to humour the Commissioners of the customs, who deserted their station for no apparent reason--Perhaps the Proceedings of his Majesty's Council of the 27th and 29th July, now made public, may help us to form a conjecture ; They say that " what happened on the 10th June, seems to have prung wholly from those who complain of it." ---(Who are they ?) And " that it seems probable that an uproar was hoped for and intended to be occasioned by the manner of proceeding in making the seizure of the Sloop Liberty."
