Low Postage TO tho Continent,

Ii has already been announces IN the columns OF the
Unioa that, by arrangement between the respective
Post Office Departments OF the United States and Bremen,
the rates OF postage by the Bremen line have been very
greatly reduced To Bremen the price OF single letter
has been reduced to jast half The former rate of
tive nty cents which the lowest rate by any route TO
the continenti and by any other than the Bremen line
thirty cents three times the present price, is the lowest
willis, by the way OF England France letter OF half
an ounce weigh Germany il is believed, costs not less
Than fifty cents.
We are led again TO speak OF this subject. from OBJ
serving in copy of The " Postal Convention between
the United States and Bremen" which has been placed
in hands, that ample provision has been made for the
States and countries beyond Bremen TO shar, fully in the
benefits of this great reduction OF postage by the Bremen
line. As before remarked, wheIeyerthe postage be
yond Bemen does not exceed five cents the letter, such
10 be added only TO the ten cents charged from
the United States to Bremen but the rate beyond
Bremen five cents such letters are required 10
pay fifteen. instead OF ten cents between the United
States and Bremen II will be perceived, therefore, that
is for the ntercs, OF all governments upon The conti
nent beyond Bremen TO have their rate 10 that city
dused to five cents AT least, when they may at once en-
JOY the advantage OF rate not exceeding fifteen cents to
fTcm any part Of the United States.
We are happy to learn. as do on reliable authority,
not only that The German States generally will probably
come into this arrangement but that the minister
from Russia intends propose TO his government make
the necessary reduction 10 Bremen to tie full BEN
es Of the reduced rate by the Bremen line. We cannot
doubt that Denmark Norway. Sweden, and other coun-
tries similarly situated will follow suit and when this
measure is finally carried out, il will indeed be great

not be otherwise than favorable all concerned

two Bremea with The two United States steamers upon

ton, direct, TO and from the continent.
May not be allowed, therefore, express the hope
that particularly. the German newspapers OF the United
States will spread this Information widely as POE sble
amongst intelligent and worthy German reputation
the end that all who wish may participate in this grand
movement for cheap postage between the Old World and
