PosT-OFFIcE REGULATION. The Post Master
General has instructed his deputies, by recent
circular, to make quarterly return Of all news
papers, sent by mail from their respective oii-
W., anu W uCSf-iidlc cdCu OtuCt, 10 WHICH IH6y
are respectively addressed. BY the same circu-
lar the publishers Of newspapers aud periodical
works are required to make a certificate, under
oath, once in three months, of the number OF
their papers deposited in the Post-Ofice, and TO
what Offices designated. This regulation may
be well calculated, for aught we know, to detect
errors, voluntary or negligent, on the part of the
several Post Masters and we presume, pub
lshers generally would not object to any rea-
sonable acquisitions from them, to aid in pro-
ducing reform in the Post-Office department
but we are at a loss to conceive by what author
lty the P. NJ. General presumes to exact from
individuals an account, under oath, of the state
OF any of their business transactions. II is prob
ably strong measure, adopted unadvisedy,
without due consideration Of the rights Of indi-
vidualS, and the limited powers of the head of
the Post-Ofhce department. The press ought
never to be " embarrassed with too mnch regu-
lation."
