A correspondent in Corea, whose impartiality and prevision has been frequently demonstrated, accompanies his last letter to us with the first two copies of The Jndependent, 'a journal of Corean Commerce, Politics, "Literature, History and Art} issued every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday." The paper is printed in English and the native character called the dri-mun. Its first editorial claims for it impartiality, but our correspondent says, like everything else here, Iam afraid it is entirely American or Russian."
