Washington, March 7.
It is now some days since we completed the
publication, at large, of the acts passed, and trea
ties ratified, during the late session of congress.
Notwithstanding tne great importance of many
of these law s, it is nevertheless true, that, wnen
officially published, they arc read negligently, il
at all, by nine tenths of the readers of newspa
pers; and that, after they have all passed in re
view, a still smaller portion of the community
understands clearly the bearing and operation of
them Under this impression, it has been thought
that a digested view the acts, treaties, &c. to
which the late session of congress has given ex
istence, would, whilst it embraced in one list eve
ry law and every treaty, impress the reader with
a more accurate notion of the scope and effect
of the measures ot the government, than a casual
and hasty perusal of detached parts of them.
This digest we present to our readers to-day,
and hope it will be interesting, as we are*sure it
will be useful.— National Intelligencer.
