TEE ANGLO•GERMAN POSTAL TREATY.

The explanation given by the Indipendance Beige of the
"hitch" in the negotiations between England an;
Germany relative to a reduced postal tariff seems to be
correct after all. In the North German Th:rliament, on
Tuesday, the Postmaster• General said that the difference
of opinion between the contracting parties was not regard-
ing the rate of postage for letters, but concerned the in•
demnity to be paid the South German Post-off:ct- author!.
ties for sealed rackets exchanged, or which may hereafter
be exchanged, between England and the German State 2.
This version of the Postmaster-General's statement, which
is given in the North German Correspondent, differs
materially from the telegraphic account. It is believei
that this small difficulty will soon be overcome.
