POSTMASTER OenefaI with theauthorities
OF bremen, and no ditflcuit!y is aPpre.
hended 10 making similar arrangements
with all other Powers with which we
may nave communications by mai
steamers, except with Great Britain.
On the arrival Of the first Of the A..
merican steamers, bound 10 Bremen, at
Southampton, in the month Of June
last, the British post office directed the
collection Of discriminating hostages or.
all letters and other mai!able matter,
which she took out to Great Britain, or
which went into the British post office
on their way to France and other parts
of Europe. The effect ofthe order Of
the British post office is 10 subject all
letters and other matter transported by
American steamers to double postage,
one postage having been previously
paid on thcmlo the United Sta,es,while
letters transported in British steamers
are subject TO pay but Il single postage.
This measure was adopted with the a.
vowed object of protecting the British
line OF mail steamers now running be-
tween Boston and Liverpool, and, il
permltted to continue, must speedily
put an end TO the transportation Of all
letters and other matter by American
steamers. and to give the British steam
ers a monopoly OF The bushes. A just
and fair reciprocity is all that we desire,
and on this We must insist. By. orr
laws, no such discrimination is made
against British steamers bringing letters
intoour ports, but all letters arriving in
the United States are subject to the
same rate OF postage, whether brought
in British or American vessels. ! refer
