The Director-General of the French Post-office has published a notice,
that the postage charged over and above the amount of French postage on all letters sent from France to any part of England, Scotland, and Ireland, for whatever distance they may be carried within the United Kingdom, will henceforth be reduced to the uniform rate of 10 decimes or 1 franc, for any letter not exceeding in weight half an ounce English or 14 grammes French. Certain towns in the counties of Kent and Sussex, the postage-charge to which is under 1 franc for Such letters, according to a scale determined by the convention of the 30th of March 1836, will continue to enjoy the same privilege: No alteration is made in the charges of' letters coming from or going to countries beyond sett, and conveyed either by the regular packets or merchant-ships of England.—Galignani's Messenger.
