The proprietors of the NATIONAL ISTELLIsEN-
GER, in order to meet the wishes of those whose
circumstances or inclination do not allow them to
subscribe even to weekly Washington paper
during the whole year, have determined to is-
sue during each session of Congress, weekly

cER,n to be devoted exclusively to the publication
as far as its limits will permit, of the Proceedings
of both Houses Of Congress, and Official Reports
and Documents connected herewith, including
complete official copy Of all .4cts passed by Congress d.
ring the session. M

man who can read, the charge for this paper will
be for the first session of each Congress One Dol

half Dollar. Hfea8tt

GER, to be issued on each Wednesday during the

To enlarge upon the value, to those who take
no newspaper from Washington, of this publica-
ton, containing impartial but necessarily abbre-
waited account Of the Proceedings in Congress, in
cluding an authentic official copy Of all the laws
passed during the session, would be needless. The
man who takes no such paper ought to take one, if
ne does not prefer remaining ignorant of what
most nearly concerns his own destiny, and that of
his family and Of his postcrity for ever
