THE WAR, New York, Aug. 1, 1812  The entire front page is taken up with continued reports from "Congress" including discussion relating to the War of 1812, continuing on pages 2 & 3 where are included are: "Naturalization Law" "List of Acts Passed at the First session of the 12th Congress" and "Instructions For the Private Armed Vessels of the United States, signed in type: James Monroe, Secretary of State.
Much more on the war inside including: "U.S. Frigate Constitution "Our Frontiers" "Militia General Orders" "Fate Of War" "Privateers Captured" "List of Vessels Taken & Burnt by the Squadron commanded by Comm. Brooke" "Naval Matters" "Female Patriotism" and much more.
Eight pages, 9 by 11 1/2 inches, wide, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.

This is a fascinating, short-lived newspaper, having begun in 1812 with the exclusive purpose of reporting on the War of 1812 (hence the title). When the war ended, so did this newspaper.
