This new period was a major change of concept in the portage of correspondence, and in some ways the predecessor of the following postal rates with the addition of the adhesive seal on 1 January 1850.
For the first time were considered, for purposes of porterage, all provinces, as a single postal territory, where the only variable when applying for portage, was the weight of the letter, regardless of the distance that had to go from one administration to another.
This rate continued to apply to the mail without postage, even after the reform of January 1 1850.
Therefore the RD dated August 16, 1845 by which unified the portage of the letters circulated within the interior of the Kingdom, according to their weight, described the following items:
1) The simple letters , whatever the distance they travel within the peninsula and the Balearic Islands will pay actual postage fleece. Means simple letter which does not exceed 6 adarmes weight.
Letter circulated on August 5, 1846, from Caparroso to Zaragoza, Tudela, dater and portering Caparroso Baeza 1R (1 Real) to greenish blue ink stamp of arrival in Zaragoza, as rates for weight of up to 6 adarmes.

2 º) The simple letters, moved inboard of each administration or post office box between the districts, towns or payments received and delivered in her correspondence, met only five bedrooms.
3 º) Letters double, that is, those who spend six adarmes, pay, weighing six to eight adarmes including ten rooms; from ten to twelve inclusive, fifteen rooms, twelve to sixteen, or an ounce twenty quarters, and so successively, increasing the porter five rooms, each time the weight exceeds a quarter of an ounce.

The Baeza, was the first English postmarked from January 1, 1850 until the first decade following March, when it was replaced by the so-called "spider." Likewise, the Baeza, was the first in a circular dater. He continued affixing
elsewhere in the front of the card (and of course the arrival on the back) until September-October 1854, was gradually replaced by the new model dater, but small, since then in use .
In all cases where the name of the Administration agreed with the demarcation, was replaced by one in three stars Baeza.
The Baeza of Navarre, are: Pamplona, \u200b\u200bEstella, TUDELA, Caparra CORELLA, Echarri-Aranaz, ELIZONDO, ARCS, PUENTE LA REINA, Sangüesa Santesteban TAFALLA, VALCARLOS and Viana.
analysis on the Demarcation of Navarra, in relation to Baeza, we suggest that in the case of Pamplona, \u200b\u200bthere are two types of Baeza, one with numbers the same size as other boundaries and a different one with smaller numbers.
Another case in Navarra, is of Santistevan Baeza 1846, was replaced in 1849 by naming the most correct of Santesteban.

office of National Service (NS), circulated on June 10, 1847, from Santesteban Pamplona, \u200b\u200bwith date Baeza Type I Santistevan in red ink.
As the index of rarity, the best safe collector and other more advanced approach, estimates the most unique and rare are the Valcarlos and Echarri Aranaz, in that order. The Valcarlos not known at time prefilatelica, only there are references and time stamps are known only reproduced here. As for the Echarri-Aranaz, we have two, one in time prefilatelica and another letter on the broadcast time stamp 1853.
