Letters from Cambray of the day before yesterday, contain the following statement:
"His Serene Highness the Prince of Waterloo, is expected here in a few days to resume the chief command of the Army of Occupation. It is thought his Highness will stop here some days, then go for a short time to Paris, and afterwards visit the Netherlands.—Meantime, his presence here has become more or less necessary. It seems that particular efforts are made to inflame people's minds, as well in the towns as in the country, especially against the British troops: and it is to these criminal endeavors that the quarrels are ascribed, which have very frequently happened in some places. As the field marshal makes his troops observe the strictest discipline, and has the smallest transgression severely punished, he can also, on the other hand, justly demand that such of the inhabitants as trouble the public tranquility, shall be arrested and punished."
