LETTERS FOR THE BALTIC, W HITE SEA,
TURKEY, AND THE BLACK SEA.

Tho following are the regulations under which the corre-
spondence for her Majesty's forces in the Baltic, in the White
Sea, and in Turkey and the Black Sea is at present for-
warded :
Mails for the Baltic fleet are made up in London every
Tuesday evening, and are forwarded throtigh Belgium to
Dautzic, where they arrive on Friday. Orders have been
given that a steam-vessel shall be detached from the fleet,
and sent to Dantzic weekly, to receive the mails from Eng-
land, to bring to that port the return mails,,for England,
which, on arrival, are despatched to this country through
Belgium.
An officer's letter, not exceeding half an ounce in weight,
sent by this route, is liable to a postage (British and foreign
combined) of Bd.
A seaman's or soldier's letter, not exceeding half an ounce
in weight, forwarded by this route, is charged with a com-
bined British and foreign postage of sd.
Upon both classes of letters the Postage must be paid in
advance.
Newspapers cannot be forwarded by the route of Dantzic,
because, according to the arrangements with the Prussian
Government, the Prussian postage upon Newspapers cannot
be collected in this country. If, therefore, newspapers were
sent by this route, they would be detained at Dantzic, until
the postage due upon them to the Prussian Post-office was
paid.
The above is the speediest and most direct communication
with the Baltic fleet : but there are other occasions, by means
of Queen's ships or transports, when letters and newspapers
can be forwarded.
Mails are made up to be despatched by every vessel of war
proceeding from England to the fleet, and the postage by such
shipS is as follows
For an officer's letter, not exceeding oz 6d
For a seaman's or soldier's letter not exceeding A oz ld
Newspapers are forwarded by vessels of war, or transports,
free of postage.
Letters, &c., for the Baltic fleet, should be addressed with
the -name of the ship for which they are destined, and the
fleet to which that ship belongs, without mentioning any port
or town, thus—

H. I. Ship --
Baltic Fleet."

Mails for the army in Turkey, and for the fleet iu the Black
Sea, are made up in London six times in each month, viz.,
the evenings of the 3d, Bth, 13th, 18th, 23d, and 28th or
(when the month has 31 days) the 29th.
These mails are forwarded, through France, to Marseilles,
and are thence conveyed to Constantinople by the French
Mail Packets in the Mediterranean.
By the favour of the French Government, no higher charge
is made for the conveyance of the Letters of British soldiers
and Sailors than that which is levied on the correspondence
of a French naval and military force. A letter, therefore,
under a quarter of an oz. in weight, whether to or from an
officer, a soldier or a seaman, is liable 'only to a combined
British and foreign rate of 3d. If the letter weighs a quarter
of au oz., and is under half an oz., the charge is 6d. ; if it,
exceed half an oz., and does not exceed 1 oz., the charge is
ls., and so on for heavier letters.
The postage upon newspapers is two-pence each.
The postage both upon letters and newspapers must be paid
its advance.
The above is the speediest and most direct communication
with the fleet in the Black Sea,:and with her Majesty's Forces
in Turkey ; but the letters of soldiers and seamen serving
in Turkey and the Black Sea may also be forwarded to
Malta, via Southampton, twice a mouth, viz., ou the morn-,
lugs- of the 4th and 20th, for the sum of ld., under the
usual regulations applicable to such letters. From Vella
they are sent to their destinations as opportunities other, by a
ship of war or -other vessel in the service of her Majesty,
without any further charge.
At the same rate of ld., letters may also be forwarded by
any vessel of war, or hired transport, proceeding from Eng-
land-to Turkey.
By these opportunities newspapers are transmitted for a
postage of One Penny each, which must be paid in advance.
Letters, &c., for the army in Turkey, should be addressed
to the Regiment to which the officer or soldier belongs, with
the addition of the words, " Army in Turkey," but without
any further local address.
Letters, &c., for the fleet in the Back Sea, should be ad-
dressed with the name of the ship for which they are destined,
and the fleet to which that ship belongs, without mentioning
any port 'or town, thus—
" To---
IL M. Ship
• Black Sea Fleet."

Mails for the British squadron in she White Sea are for-
warded from frill every Friday, by private steamers pro-
ceeding to Christiania, whence they will be despatched by
the mail packets of the Norwegian Government.
Au officer's letter not exceeding half an oz. in weight, sent
by this route, is liable to a postage (British and foreign com-
bined) of Is.
A seaman's letter, forwarded by this route, not exceeding
half an ounce in weight, is liable to a postage (British and
foreign combined) of 9d,
Upon both classes of letters the postage must be paid in
advance.
The above is the speediest and most direct communication
with the White Sea squadron, and all letters upon which the
requisite amount of postage has been prepaid will be so f3r-
warded unless otherwise addressed.
Letters for the squadron will also be forwarded, should op-
portunities offer, by any ships of war, or vessels in her Ma-
jesty's service, proceeding to the White Sea ; and upon let-
ters so transmitted, the postage, which must be prepaid,
will be—
For Officers' Letters, Ed. the half ounce, according to the
scale for charging Inland Letters.
For Seamen's Letters, 1.d., when sent under the usual regu-
lations.
By ships of war or vessels in her Majesty's Service, news-
papers are transmitted free of postage.
Letters, &c., for the White Sea Squadron should be ad-
dressed thus :
