They write from the Hague, that all the officers of the army had received orders to stay with their regiments, and those who were absent on furlough to join them immediately. Such orders (say these advices) prove the apprehensions we are under, from the proximity of the French and allied armies, lest one or the other should make an incursion on the territory of the Republick.
