In consequence however of the abandonment (dénonciation) of the Anglo-French Postal Conven- tion of the 24th September, 1856, it has seemed proper to postpone the carrying out of the works contemplated on board our mail packets till the conditions of the favoured régime which shall be applicable in the future to mail packets touching at the ports of the two countries, shall have been settled by mutual agreement between the Governments of France and Great Britain.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Director General of Posts and Telegraphs.
