Raguin Code: NEWS –9501

IN Consequence of the present Interruption of the Correspondence between this Country and Holland, a Communication will be immediately opened by His Majesty's Packet-Boats between Yarmouth and the Elbe, and the Mails will be made up and dispatched from this Office every Tuesday and Friday Night as usual; and as the Letters to and from all Parts of Europe, except Spain and Portugal, will now be sent through this Channel, it is necessary to inform the Public, that from this Time, the Postage of all Letters to Holland or Flanders, must be paid before-hand, the same as to Hamburgh, to all Parts of Germany, and the North of Europe, at the Rate of One Shilling each single Letter, Two Shillings double, Tree Shillings treble, and Four Shillings the Ounce, without which they cannot be forwarded; and the same Rates are to be paid for all Letters from those Countries.

Besides the foregoing Rates of Foreign Postage, it will be necessary, as usual, to pay at the Office in Great Britain or Ireland, where such Letters are put in, the full Port to London.
