THE Pico:Zit:lA OP COREA. —uorea, into which'
the French have penetrated, and over which they will pro-
bably assert at Iscst a protectorate, is • peninnila of Asia,
lying to the north-west of China, and separated by the
straits of the same name from Japan. It is about 5140
miles long, and from 200 to WO miles broad. The torrent
seem to be somewhat superior to the Chinese, many of whose
customs they imitate and whose language they partially
use, though in various respects they resemble more theft
neighbours of Japan. King-kaitao, on the Kiang river,
near the middle of the peninsula, is the capital, and there
are few towns of much importance. The Coreans are
quite expert iu many branches of manufacture, and pro-
duce some valuable articles of export, though their foreign
commerce is very limited, being mostly with China and
Japan. Corea will prove a valuable acquisition to the
French, as it contains good bubonic, is naturally a rich
country, and will give them an enviable commercial and
political position in &sateen Asia.—San Pram-ism Times.
