The following note from Mr. Warren, address.

very great dissatisfaction, both to publisher. and
readers Of newspapers, The construction here

they may send a paper to certain address,
whether one three. OF six months On the other
hand, persons frequently subscribe for a month
or two, and at the expiration Of that time order
the paper to be continued the balance OF the year
In such case, docs the Department intend tore
fund the prepaid postage VI does it intend to
swindle the publishers out Of ~ Upon VIA,
