New YORK, July pa Washington
dispatch to the Times says: 1t is ex
ceedingly probable that the change, &C
long looked for in the Internal Revenue
Office, will become an accomplished
fact within the next few days, by the
removal of General Pleasanton. There
are no indications at present as to who
will succeed the present Commissioner
and it is thought that the position may
be held open for some time, with the
Deputy Commissioner, Douglass, at
Acting Commissioner. One Of the un
fortunate results Of the situation Of af
fairs between the Internal Revenue
Office and the Treasury, has been the
resignation of Mr.. Chesley, Chief Of the
Revenue Law Division.

The following is the translation Of a
letter forwarded by the Coreans TO
Rear Admiral John Rogers, command
ing the Uuited States Asiatic squadron:
"ln the year 1868 man OF your nation,
whose name was Febiger, came here
and communicated and went away.
Why cannot you do the same. In the
year 1865 people called French came
here and we refer you to them for what
happened. This people and kingdom
have lived in the enjoyment OF their
own civilization four thousand years,
and we want no other. We trouble no
other nations. Why should they trouble
us? Our country is in the furtherst
East, yours in the furthest West. For
what purpose do you come so many
thousand miles across the sea? 1t is
to inquire about the vessel destroyed,
the General Sherman? Her men com.
mitted piracy and murder, and they
were punished with death. Do you
want our land? That cannot be. Do
you want intercourse with us? That
cannot be"
