GERMANY.
Bismarck, annoyed by opposition in the Bundesratb, and afflicted with physical ailments, particularly sleeplessness, had tendered liis resignation again. The Emperor, after a long interview with, the Crown Prince, refused to accept. Extreme civility is shown to the Chinese Ambassador by the German Minister at Paris, which is supposed to point to secret negotiations between Pekin and Berlin against Russia. Herr Uppenheim, formerly member of the Reichstag, and leader of the National Liberals and a Free Trader, is dead. The Emperor, addressing his generals on the anniversary of his birthday, said he believed he was able to assure them that they would have no more opportunity of putting in practice their military knowledge, all fear of war having apparently passed away for the present. .Emigration to the United States is increasing. Six failures occurred on the Berlin Stock Exchange, on April 2nd, aggregating one million of marks. Bismarck says, in a letter to Herr Beuler on disarmament, that Germany cannot occupy any position but a self-defensive one.
