THE ANOLO.OEttMAN POSTAL TREATY.

-The explanation given by the Independance Edge of the
"hitch" in the negotiations between England an'
Germany relative to a reduced postal tariff seems to be
correct aft er all. In the North German Parliament, 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-office authori-
ties for sealed packets exchanged, or which may hereafter
be exchanged, between England and the German State:.
This version of the Postmaster-General's statement, which
is given in the North German Correspondent, differs
materially from the telegraphic account. It is believe!
that this small difficulty will soon be overcome.
