LONDON, April IA Berlin CORE
| spopdent telegraphs: Though no small
excitement, and even wild alarm, was at
first produced by the publication of the
momenIous news of Bismarck's resigna-
ton OF the chaucellorship, these feelings
soon gave way on softer reflection, 10 the
conviction that the incident must not be
looked at in its first light. No one can
possibly believe, either, that the chan
cellor earnestly desires to withdraw from
the office, but it is supposed that he has
taken this method of altering the state
OF things in the federal council which
has so long annoyed him, nor can it be
doubted that fundamental change of
the imperial constitution affecting the
Bundesrath is the real object he has at
heart.
