GERMANY.

A telegraphic dispatch of the 12th inst., from
Vienna, states that General Csorich had on that
day tendered his resignation, which was accepted
by the Emperor. General Bamberg was charged
with the military administration, and it was thought
that the portfolio of the War Department would
be suppressed. _

The --Russian Minister of War has, it appears,
drawn up a plan for the augmentation of the army,
which has met with the King's approbation. The
projected increase will amount to the addition of
an infantry brigade to each of the nine corps d'armee,
which brigades, if they be of the same average
strength as the four brigades now composing a corps
d' armee, will amount to 6,000 men, or a total for
the nine corps of upwards of 50,000 men.
The cholera has not only made its appearance in
Breslau, but seems to increase in virulence. From
the 18th December till Ist February, 86 cases were
known of whom 55 died. On the 2d February,
nine new cases and nine deaths . on the 3d, 14
new cases and 8 deaths. 6,000 children are men-
tioned in various reports as ill of scarlet fever and
measles.

The Funds were lower on February the Bth. The
late rise was owing to purchases made by a specula-
tive capitalist allied with the Government, and the
effect having ceased they have gone down again.

marines were obliged to fire on the mob, and, it is
reported, a few Chinese were killed and several
wounded.
