Fuie at Troy (N. Y.) —Wo arc extremely sorry
to state that, on Sunday night» sen'night, a most des
tructful Fie broke out from the Printing-Office of Mr.
Oliver Lyon, editor of the 1 Northern Budget,* at that
place. Altho* the air was calm the rapidity of the
devouring element was such, as totally to destroy the
printing-house, and a most valuable apparatus* The
Phoenix Hotel, Samuel Starr, esq's, attorney's office,
with all his papers, the well furnished store of mess'rs
Wood and King, Andres' taylor's shop, and that of
Cornelius Adriancc, hatter, all fell under this distress
tressing calamity. The amount of the loss of the
property is not yet ascertained ; but of the whole, not
much is insured. Mr Lyon, and the film of Wood
and King, are the greatest sufferers—-no part of th®
property or papers of the former were saved.
Of Bunn —Letters from Paris of the close of the
last year (says the Aurora) mention that some spe
culators who made a dash in the U. States, with the
money brought from the British treasury, to support
Burr's conspiracy, found their way into a house of
correction in that city.

by the British treasury to sustain Burr should go thro'
