IN poRrANT TO posTMAsrERs AND OTHERS.

We are requested by the Postmaster General to
call attention to the following regulations in regard
to postage On letters to Foreign Countries
~ Nail IL Grcds B,itaia t1e singlc x1ke o.
II PoIip ~ prep. ssnents opIionSls On
Il IA letter packet of any weight The s0hole
postage Or none at az should be prepaid If
any thing less than the whole is prepaid, no ac-
count is taken Of it, and Il is entirely lost to the
tender. The British Post Office declines to change
this rule, except on conditions considered inadmis-
able.
IN the Pussian closed Mail to Germany 80 cents
is the single rate, prepayment optional This pays
from any part of the United States to any part Of
the German-Austrian Postal Union. prepay
nent Of any sum less than the regular rate Of 80
cents is not recognised and is of course lost the
sender. A note of fractions of the rate could not
be taken without seriously complicating the ac-
counts, besides causing much additional labor and
trouble at the exchange offices. But, contrary to
the practice under the United States and British
Postal Convention, in the Prussian mail every full
rate sof 80 cents is credited, whether the whole
postage letter or packet is prepaid or not
leaving any balance due to be collected at the Office
Of delivery.
By the BREMEN Mail the rule is the same as un-
der the Prussian arrangement. The single rate to
Bremen is 10 cents, to Oldenburg l., to Hamburg
Is, to Altoona and Hanover y, and to any other
place in Germany % cents, prepayment optional
In either case prepayment of any fraction of the
full rate goes for nothing.
The rule for rating letters to all foreign countries
(except the British North American Proyinces) is
to charge rate for half an ounce or under taoo
rates if the weight is over one-haf and not exceed
ing an ounce, four rates if over one and not ex-
ceeding two ounces, sac rates if over two and not
exceeding three ounces, and SO on, charging two
ntes for every ounce or fractional part Of an
cpans over the jsrat As this rule difazs
110n TINT followed in respect to domestic letters,
where each half ounce or fraction of half ounce
counts as rate only, Postmasters who are not
careful to observe this difference are liable of course
to commit mistakes.
We beg to suggest that in calling attention to
this subject Editors generally would render to many
of their readers an essential service, and would
suggest to those>of our readers who have any for
egn correspondence to preserve the above explana-
tions for reference.
