Show The Postal Congress. Paris, 3. In the postal congrea?, now in session in this city, the United States demand six franca per kilogramme kilo-gramme for letters in transit across the continent instead of two francs aa at present.

The postage to India probably will be reduced from twenty five to fifteen franca per kilogramme. A proposition will also be euhmitted for a general reduction on the marine trausporta-tion trausporta-tion from six francs, the present rate, to five francs per kilogramme. |
