Letters not exceeding Half-an-Ounce, there will be taken

One Rate of Postage_
On Letters above Half-am Ounce, and not exceeding One Ounce,
Two Rates of Postage.
On Letters above One Ounce, and not exceeding Two Ounces,
Four Rates of Post-Lge.
On Letters above Two Ounces, and not exceeding Three
Ounces, Six Ra.les of Postage.
00 Letters above Three Ounces, and not exceeding Four
Ounces, Eight Rates of Postage.
And so on in proportion.
Postmasters should bear in mind, however, that after the
Ptr,t Ounce in the annexed Scale, no distinction is made
-between the Ounce and a Fraction of an Ounce. A Letter,
for instance, which turns the Ounce Weight, is liable to Four
Pates of Postage ; and a Letter weighing a Fraction ab,.,,re
Two Ounces, is liable to Six Rates of Postage, and do on.
!his Regulation, however, will not affect the mode of charging
French Rates on Letters to or from France, and through
Prelle% as the present system of chargin7s. French Rates on
11tteh Letters must continue in force, -in., a Single French
gale for each Quarter of an Ounce, exclusive.
The Single Rate of Inland Postage on all Genes al Post. Let-
ters, transmitted between places in the United Kingdom, will
be, the uniform Rate of, 4d., except in those cases where the
Letters are at present, subject to lower Rates than the Sum
113ecified, and excep'L in the case of Foreign Letters transmitted
packet, on which the Rates of Inland Postage at present
tiltezt must be continued, although the charge must be cal-
ciliated in both cases by weight, as before mentioned, and not
113' Enclosures.
N 0 Inland Rate of Postage will be taken on Letters between
the British West Indies and the United Kingdom, or on
thole between Gibraltar, Malta, the lonian Islands, and the
United Kingdom. This last description of Letters must, how-
ever, be addressed " via Falmouth," or they will otherwise be-
eelne subject to the present Inland Rates, as they will be for-
Iterded through France, and be treated as Foreign Letters.
As the rate to "And from North America already is an uni-
rerrn rate of On,e Shilling for a Single Letter, the rate of Post-
lite on Letters conveyed by Packet between the United King-
dem and all the British Colonies (with the exception of Let-
ters to the East Indies, which are to be charged when they are
sent or received via Falmouth 2s. 6d. as at present,) will be
all uniform single rate of One Shilling, advancing on all Let-
ters exceeding half an ounce according to the scale of Weight
already laid down.
N 0 Penny Postage will hereafter be charged upon Letters
Passing through the General Post except on those which are
ranked; Franks, however, will still be liable to the local rates
'f a Penny or Twopence, as at present, when passing through
r 13,,nny Posts in the Country, or the local Posts of London and

The additional rates heretofore chargeable on Letters con-
l'eYed by the route of the Menai and Conway Bridges, that of
Milford and Waterfo. d, and the additional Halfpenny en Let-
ers conveyed bj Mails in Scotland, will be abolished.
No Letter which is not franked, or which shall not be either
despatched by, or addressed to a Public Department on the
Public Service shall be forwarded when above the weight of
Sixteen Ounces, with the exception of those from Foreign
Countries or the Colonies, addressed to the United Kingdom,
Whether they shall arrive by Packet or by private Ship, and
Deeds and Parliamentary Proceedin:,s when addressed to
the fOolonies to be forwarded by Packet. The Letters will be
de'Livereel according to their address, but at the rates of Postage
to which they will be liable by the scale before given. With
tespect to Deeds and Parliamentary Proceedings, they will be
treated according- to the existing Regulations, and will be
charged with the rates they are at present liable to, except
'here those rates are higher than they would be under the new
sYstem. Parliamentary Petitions above Sixteen Ounces within
the United Kingdom will be treated in a similar manner. Let-
t!rsevidently intended to be franked, but which have become
liable
to Postage by wrong date, &c. &c., must be forwarded,
eaNi-radeeniyf above the weight of Sixteen Ounces, but at the rates
laid down.
All Letters exceeding the weight of an Ounce (with the ex-
ception of Letters addressed to France) must have the Postage
PP.id in advance. Should the Postage not be paid in advance,
the Letters must be charged with double the rates to which
they would otherwise be liable. •
The Charge on Letters transmitted by private Ship between
the United Kingdom
nited and Places beyond Sea (with the excop
tloo of the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and Places within
the limit?: of the East India Company's Charter) will also be
t,,likelll'.l weight according to the scale before given. The
"ngl'a rate of Postage on such Letters will be Bd. when posted
or delivered at the port of departure or arrival, and Is. when
Nsted or delivered at any other Place within the United King-
dom. These rates of Bd. and ls. will apply also to Letters be-
tween this Country and China.
The rates on Letters conveyed by private Ships between the
Iltited Kingdom and Countries comprised within the limits of
the East India Company's Charter will be the present uniform
I'ate for Sea Postage of 2d. outwards, and 4d. inwards, for
_4tters not exceeding the weight of three ounces, when posted
delivered at the Ports of departure or arrival respectively,
, b"r
eP3rld that weight an uniform rate of Is. per ounce will be
taken as Sea Postage. When, however, such Letters are
Posted or delivered at any other Place than the Port of arrival
and departure, they will be liable to the charge of Inland Post-
-4,3 e , calculated according to the new scale of weight, in addition
to the Sea Postage before mentioned. .
Letters transmitted by private Ships between Places within
the United Kingdom must be treated in the same manner as Ge-
neral Post Letters forwarded by the regular Mails between such
Places, and charged with the same rates of Postage according
to the scale of weight before laid down. Letters conveyed by
Private Shins between Great Britain and the Channel Islands,
and the Isle. of Man must be treated in a similar manner.
All Letters that cannot be forwarded owing to their exceed-
ing the prescr,bed weight must be sent to the Dead Letter
Office in aecordance with the existing regulations.
