NEWSPAPER SUBsCRIPTIoNs.-The new POST
master General has prepared instructions to deputy
pos'naste-s, under The new posi- office law, which
goes into operation on the LIST of July next. The
limitation of the franking privilege Of postmasters
has cut off the usual mode Of transmitting subscrp-
lions t. papers. The following me,hod is therefore
substituted, by the Postmaster General, provision
for the transmission OF money, much preferable TO
that now in use. We extract 1t from the synopsis

" The people of Iowa have refused 10 accept
the ACT of Congress passed al the last session. for
admitting them State into the Union. The
ground which the act has been rejected, is the
change made by Congress in the boundaries Of the
proposed State, by which its Of territory has
been materially reduced from the limits proposed IN
the Constitution offered to the acceptance of Con-
gress. The Dubuque Express proposes that the e-
gislature, which meets IN May, shall call new
Convention TO devise another Constitution, with
such boundaries may be acceptable to Congress.
