Brigadier Conway a Major-general in this army, it will be as unfortunate a measure as ever was adopted.

I may add, (and I think with truth) that it will give a fatal blow to the existence of the army.

Upon so interesting a subject, I must speak plain.

The duty I owe my country, the ardent desire I have to promote its true interests, and justice to individuals, requires this of me.

General Conway's merit, then, as an officer, and his importance in this army, exists more in his imagination, than in reality.
