Newspapers to be sent an the Prussidn closed mail
must be prepaid six cents each, which is the full

this said closed mail to the British possessions in

that the cheapest route for newspapers is in the
British mail, via Southampton, cents each to be

postage.
With reference to the Prussian closed mail, we
are desired to remark, ALSO that in many instances
letters which should come in this mail particularly
from the southern part of Gurnrany, are received in
the open mall generally via France, thus rendering
them subject to additional and much higher rates o.
postage; and it is suggested that writer's would aid
greatly toward correcting this irregularity by re-
questng their correspondents in Germany to inform
themselves as to the correct rates of postage and
to mark their letters specially to be forwarded
in the Prussian closed mail, via Ostend and Lon

either country of less than the combined rate of 80
cents on letter goes for nothing.
