LONDON, March 1.-THE Paris correspond
emit of the Times says the recent report Of war
between Japan and Corea attracted consider
able attention here. It must have been cir
culated purposely to direct attention to the
Corean question and to Russian action in
E ,stern Asia. ~ learn Russian army,
1900 strong, has entered Coresn territory
under the pretext of pursuing brigands. II
Japan had, therefore, really been led into war
on the southern coast of Oorea Russia would
have been quite ready to cooperate north.
The occupation of Corea, or at least Of Co.
rean ports, may be presumed to have been
not unforeseen. In CONSCIENCE of this posi-
ton. as Russia strongly feels in need of
good port on the Pacific, We shall perhaps
hear more concerning Russian action in Co
rea. Meantime the Russian Government is
taking measures to practically utilize the re-
cent acquisition of Saghalien. Regular
steamer service will soon be commenced be-
tween Saghalien and Shanghai.
It is announced that the steamers Of the
new line will be gunboats.
The lower parts of the city are flooded, and
many acres are submerged in the suburbs.
LIVERPOOL, March 1.-THE steamer King
Richard, from Baltimore, and the steamer

PARIS, Msrch 1.-THE Seine continues

PARIS, March 1.-THE Seine and Marine

PARIS, March IL. - Elk. Minister Buffet
attended the reception given by President
MacMahon to-day. He reiterates his declara.
ton that be will not accept q nomination as
candidate for any vacancy in the Senate or
Chamber of Deputies.
It is understood that the Protects of the De-
partments of Gard Gironde, Beu ches du
Rhone, Vancluse and Haut Loire will be dis
missed, and that the Marquis d'Nadailhac,
the Legiimist Project Of the Bases Pyrenees,

also be removed.
The Senate has compelled the veritication
of the elections Of eli of its members except
two.
The election of Marshal Canrobert for the
Department of Lot was declared valid, with
out discussion. The report upon the conduct
of the ell ctions in the Gironde and Bouches
du Rhone shows that the projects prosecuted
the Republican candidates without intermis-
sion, and supported the Bonapartists.
The Senate, however, confirmed the result
of the election in the latter department by
small majority. The election of the Bona
partists, NM. Dieparquien and Alexandra, in
Savoy, were also confirmed in spite Of the de-
mand for an inquiry.
M. Herold, Of the Left, supported the de-
mand by citing the conduct Of the project.
the Marquis De Fournis, who he asserted had
dismissed certain Republican officials, and
dismissed the delegAtes Of some communes.
