feet arrangements for the conveyance Of mails were
Afterwards made, at different periods, In several Of
the colonies, until l7l0, when the British Parliament
passed an act authorizing the british Postmaster ~

Majesty's provinces or colonies in America" De-
putty Pest Master General for North America were
subsequently and from time TO time appointed BY
the Post Masters General in England, and Doctor
BENJAMIN Franklin Was 80 appointed In 1855. lie
On the 2eth Of July, It's, the continental Con-
giess determined "thAt Postmaster General be
him ga salary Of one thousand dollars per annum
for HIMSELF and three hundred and forty dollars per
