THE attention of the various Postmasters
is directed to the following Letter from
the General Post Office, London, respecting
the transmission of Registered Letters by way
of France.

E. W. STAFFORD.

General Post Office, London,
26th February, 1858.

SIR, - In a Circular Letter dated the 19th
July, 1855, I informed you that, under the
terms of the Postal Convention between this
Country and France, the postage to destination
was required to be paid upon all Registered
Letters addressed to France or to Countries the
correspondence of which is transmitted by the
route of France, and that no Letter could
thenceforward be treated as a Registered Letter
unless the whole postage to destination had
been paid in advance.

The Director-General of the French Post
Office has again drawn the attention of the
Postmaster-General to the circumstance that
Letters from New Zealand marked as "Regis-
tered" are still occasionally forwarded to France
in the Mail from your Office, and he points
out that, as such Letters cannot be paid to des-
tination, his Office has no alternative but to
treat them, on arrival in France, as ordinary
Letters. He has requested the Postmaster-
General, under these circumstances, to com-
municate with you on this subject, and to beg
that, with the view of avoiding misconception
on the part of the officers of the French Post
Office, you will discontinue to mark as Regis-
