In consequence of the transfer of the British Mail Packets from the Marseilles Line to that between Alexandria and Brindisi, and it being therefore no longer desirable that the Correspondence for Belgium should be sent in the Mails to France, as heretofore, it is recommended with a view to more prompt delivery, that Letters, &c. for Belgium should be addressed to be forwarded viâ Brindisi.
Correspondence for Belgiumn forwarded via Brindisi, can for the present, only be pre-paid to Alexandria at the rate of 12 cents for each ounce on Letters, and 2 cents on each Paper.
