A NEW AND IMPORTANT INTERNATIONAL.
POSTAL ARRANGEMENT IN Connection WITH
THE BREMEN TREArY.-We learn that the
Postmaster General received information by
the last Trans Atlantic steamer, that Austria
with her dependencies) has come into our
postal arrangements with Bremen. So the
whole of the Austrian empire is hereafter to
be included in the European continental ter
ritory to which that treaty applies. This
looks as though the excellent working Of the
Bremen arrangement will give US ere long
postal reciprocity with all the continent; 3
desideratum of great advantage indeed, not
only to our commerce with Europe. but also
to our emigration interest, now hardly second
in Importance to the future of the United
States, to our continental commerce itself
We append hereto tabular statement show
ing the rates of postage by the Bremen line
up to the latest moment Except Hamburg
and Oldenburg, all the States, &C., the post
age to which is fifteen cents, have come into
this Bremen arrangement since it was con-
cluded on the eth of August last The King
dom of Prussia and Empire of Austria alone
embrace q very largo part of the German ter
ritory.
1t may be we'll to remark that the United
States steamer Washington. being hauled up
for repairs, will not sail on the Sd of Decem-
Der, her appointed day ! but the Bremen
steamer, Germania, fortunately will take her
place.
In writing to Europe, and particularly to
the Continent, all persons would do we'll to
mark on their letters the route by which they
wish them sent; and be careful, if they pre-
pay the postage, to pay the right amount.
For instance, if they would have their letters
90 by the " Bremen line" let them so mark
them; if by Prnssian closed mail" ditto,
&c, &c.

by the Bremen line referred to above, viz
