believed to be true, that a num

tant books and papers belong
ing to the departments of War
and of the Troafury, had lately
been dcfUoyed by a fire, which
unfortunately had quite ruined
one of the houfes, and greatly
injured the other, in which thefe
oilier* were kept. It appeared
to him highly necefEry and pro
per, that » ongrefs fhould know
.as la r as it could he afeertrined,
(he extent of that definition ;
and /iow the fettlement of puib*
)ic accounts would he a(FeM)
thereby. He believed
method of obtaining this infor
mation. would be to call on the
heads of thefe departments, for
an official Hatement of the
knowledge they have, or may
he able to acquire on the fubjeft.
For this purpofe he would move 1
