[594] When the temporary peace of Amiens was concluded in 1802, the rates for single letters from London to France were reduced to 10d., from London to the Batavian Republic to 12_d._ (42 Geo. II, c. 101). [595] 41 Geo. III, c. 7. In 1803, the following rates were imposed within Ireland for a single letter:-- _d. (Irish)_[596] Not exceeding 15 Irish miles 2 From 15 to 30 Irish miles 3 30 50 4 50 80 5 Exceeding 80 Irish miles 6 The postage on letters arriving in Ireland for the distance travelled outside Ireland was ordered to be collected by the Irish Postmaster-General and forwarded to London. An additional penny was imposed upon Dublin Penny Post letters crossing the circular road around Dublin.[597] [596] The Irish penny was of the same value as the English penny. [597] 43 Geo. III, c. 28. In 1805, for the third time within ten years, the Exchequer fell back upon the Post Office for an increase of revenue estimated at £230,000.[598] There were added to the rates as already prescribed--1_d._ for a single letter, 2_d._ for a double letter, 3_d._ for a triple letter, and 4_d._ for a letter weighing as much as one ounce, for all letters conveyed by the Post in Great Britain or between Great Britain and Ireland. The postage on a single letter from London to Brighton was thus raised from 6_d._ to 7_d._, from London to Liverpool from 9_d._ to 10_d._, and from London to Edinburgh from 12_d._ to 13_d._ Twopenny Post letters paid 3_d._ if sent beyond the General Post Delivery limits, while newspapers paid 1_d._ On every letter passing between Great Britain and a foreign country 2_d._ more was to be paid. An additional penny was charged for every single letter between Great Britain and the British American Dominions via Portugal, and between Great Britain, the Isle of Man and Jersey and Guernsey.[599] In the same year the Irish rates were also increased by the imposition of an additional penny upon each single letter with corresponding changes in the postage on double and triple letters. The Dublin Penny Post was left untouched, its boundaries being defined as contained within a circle of four miles radius, with the General Post Office building as the centre. Every letter from any ship within Irish waters was charged a penny in addition to the increased rates.[600] [598] _Parl. Deb._, 1st ser., iii, col. 550. [599] 45 Geo. III, c. 11. [600] 45 Geo.
