Brussels, June 1.  The Marshal Count Saxe sent a trumpeter
to Lieutenant General Sir James Campbell, who commands in
Ghent, with a message, importing, that if the English
continued to disturb the forage that was sent to the French
camp, he would set fire to the first village he came to; to
which the English general answered, that in that case, he
knew the road into French Flanders, where he would return
the compliment, by burning twenty.
