,prccluded the poGbility Of laving any
books or papers that were depoftcd on the

former, and one apartment on the latter,
then being occupied as the Secretary
Office.
That not. a. book. or paper Of the office
was faved, except one volume, in which
the contracts, and deeds for lands fold to

This had been takeninto the accountants

That Immediately after the fire, mea-
iurcs were taken to, lccure renewal of the

in all :poiible cafes. That the lifts of in
valid petitioners have already been renew

Iall with hyperion force on the lett wing OF
the army Of the Rhine, to overwhelm it, to
place. itfelf between the corps of Sainte Su-
zanne and the main army, then to attack
the latter's flank and centre, and all this
the enemy expected to perform with cafe
ard at their leifure. For the better car
ry;ng on this plan, they had aHembled the
flower of their army, and particularly f.
veral fquadrons they had reinforced Kle-
nau's diviGon, and their right wing with
a troop by far hyperion in number las the
French fay to Morean's army, and they
commenced their attack at the conclufion
of the armiaice. The progreis made by
count Klenau is well known; he overpow-
cred the different French potts on the right
bank Of the Danube he proceeded be-
yond Ratiibon, where detachment Of 600
French topped him till the baggage Of
the republican army was out Of immediate
danger. Then it was that Moreau diff
patched orders to the diyilions of Laborde
and Colaud to proceed by forced marches,
and to form Junction with the left wing.
The general in chief himfelf, by an evo-
luton worthy of him, attracted the atten-
ton of the enemy, and led him into the de-
files of Hohenlinden, by feign;ng to retro
gade, even abandoning to him lome field
pieces and thus, In few hours, fncceeded
in rendering null all the advantages which
the Auftrians had before obtained.
In confequence of this maneuvrc the
Auhrians fell back towards Muhldorff,
and gen. Klenau faw himlelf under the ne
cehity of meafuring back his feps.
On the 9Th, the commander in chieflad
his head quarters at Ayeniberg, and the
next day at Ratilbon.
The victorious Moreau carries eyery
thing before him; it is certain that he has
pafied the Salza, and that he, when he fent
ient off his diipatches, was within fxty
leagues of Vienna, without having either
river to crois, or mountain to a{cend.
MORGAN purified the flying enemy as far
as Muhldcrf, after having compelled him
to crofs the Inn and Judging that the u
nited corps of Grenier and of St. Suzanne.

gainft him on that Gde, he went up to the
Inn, and, on the Sth, efablifhed his head

Rofenheim.
General Lecourhe, who had marched as
tar as Roienheim for the purpofe of fnpport-
ing Moreau in the affair Of Hohenlinden,
inclined towards the Tyrolefe it is inp-
|pofed that MORGAN intends marching TO
Salzburg, and that he means to open a
communication with the army of Italy.
The Tyrole{e will have, on the fouth.
