NEWSPAPERS FOR THE BRITISH COLONIES AND FOREIGN
COUNTRIES.—GENERAL POST-OFFICE, July 1855.—Many
newspapers for British colonies and foreign countries
having been posted unpaid contrary to the printed in-
structions No. 45, 1555, recently issued upon the sub-
ject, the Postmaster-General thinks it necessary to re-
peat the intimation that a postage (the amount of which
can be ascertlined by an inspection of the notice No. 45
at any post-office) is now required to be prepaid, in ad-
dition to the newspaper stamp, upon all newspapers
sent to British colonies, and upon those sent to all foreign
countries except the following, namely :—France or
Algeria, Belgium, Prussia, via Belgium, and any foreign
country (except Turkey) via Belgium and Prussia,
New Granada, Peru. Any newspapers, which may be
posted without the requisite prepayment, cannot be for-
