Upon the correspondence so conveyed the following combined British and French
rates of postage must be paid in advance, viz. : —

missioned Officer, Private Soldier, or Seaman in Turkey or the Black Sea —

Newspapers will be liable to a postage of 2d. each, which must also be paid in advance.
As the French mode of charging postage is by the quarter ounce, it is necessary that
a Letter should be under a quarter of an ounce in weight, in order to secure the advantage
of the lowest rate.
The French Mail Packets leave Marseilles for Constantinople on the 1st, 6th, 11th,
16th, 21st, and 26th of each month, and the latest period for posting in London Letters
and Newspapers intended to be forwarded by these packets will be the evenings of the 3d,
8th, 13th, 18th, 23d, and 28th, but when the month has 31 days, Letters, &c. maybe posted
on the 29th instead of the 28th.
Letters must be posted on the previous evenings when any of the above dates fall on
a Sunday.
Letters for Soldiers and Seamen serving in the British Army or Navy in Turkey or the
Black Sea, may still be forwarded under the usual regulations for a postage of One Penny,
in the British Packets, by the route of Southampton and ^lalta, and thence by a vessel of
war ; but the opportunities for the transmission of these Letters beyond Malta are neces-
earily uncertain.
