LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
THIS DAY, bur o'Clock.
The overland mail from India, which reached Mar-
seilles on Monday, had not arrived at the time of
going to prem.

The Prussian budget for 1647, as prepared to be
bid before the General Diet, is made up with a
*mons equality betwixt receipts and expenditure.
The one and the other are given at 64,033,697 thalers,
in sterling about 10,100,0901. Compared with the
budget for 1846 there appeun an excess of 2,619,248
tbalirs, say something less than 409,0001.

MANNHEIM, APRIL 10, 1847.
In the little territory of Baden the traveller wearer
first from the complaint., if not the scenes of distresa, that
are everywhere prevalent in Western Europe. Herr, too,
the petits) crop was short, but the remnant was good, and
the rye excellent in quality, although deficient in quantity.
The cad reutno of husbandry, which, with the aid of a fine
climate, Jesse' valuable crops even from the seedy plain
between this place and Carleruhe, was a shield for which
the peasant population cannot be sufficiently thankful.
Their tobacco, rapeseed, and hemp crops that are
available for market at harvest time, tarnished not
only the means of 'supplying the detieieney in the
grower's own stock of provisions, but likewise supplied
the means for charitable distribution, which it is customary
in Germ -any to carry to a great extent. Out-door relief as
never refused where undeniable poverty exists; and as
nearly every man's circumstances are known, ignorance fur-
nishes no plea for hard-hearted ueglect Notwithstanding
the absence of immediate pressure, the government deemed
it right, like the other German governments, to secure a cer-
tain quantity of grain for spring importation ; but without
seeking more directly to interfere with trade. Baden ex-
ports annually a large quantity of grain to Switzerland ; so
that the purchases on government account, being made in
the !vaulter way of trade, only provided the augmentation
required by the univ.irselly increased demand fur American
flour and Russian grain.
The activity of political speculators, in which Baden is
rich, has thus been little interrupted. This small state counts
five papers for general circulation, besides several for local
purposes. A new one is expected immediately, under the
editorship of Professor °ermine, one of the seven who left
Hanover from strict regard to their oaths, and who is now
in Heidelberg. Tine most violent democratic organs of Ger-
many are amongst the-e, with the exception of the Weser
Zeit um, published at Bremen. As some are very well ma-
naged, they ace aion geese annoyance to the Auettians, to
whose apron-string the court has loug been tied. By a vio-
lent exertion of influence, an advocate of alwolutist prin.
eiples wee forced upon Baden as Prime Minister
three years back, in the person of Count Slitters-
doer. A series of persecutions against men of let-
trrs,and other prominent political characters, was attempted,
but generally failed tram the staunchness of the courts of
justice ; and eventually this champion was obliged to seek
refuge in the post of minister at Frankfort. The moderate
party, which succeeded to power on Blitteradorrs fall,
allowed the Chambers to vote an attempt to procure a relax-
ation of the Carlsbad decrees frJra the D et at Fmnkfert.
All these movements frightened the conservative powers, as
they c ill themselves, the more, Om the conquest of liberty
in Baden would not fail to spread the fire through Switzer-
land into Italy; while from Geneva, by way of Lyons, it
would find its way to Paris. . The three powers were, in the
emergency, not ashamed to take a leaf out of Louis l'hi-
Eppele hook, and the menaced troubles of 1840 gave them as
excuse for fortifying Rastadt as the royal Nestor had forti-
fied Paris.
The position of Rasta& is equally useful to Germany, as
Lliiningen is to France. Under its walls an attack:lig lorce
can assemble, and can be supplied from the stores of the
fortress ; or, in 'cafe Of defeat, it forms a convenient
shelter. The most singular occurrence about the fortifying
of Ruda& as yet, has been• the absence of all protest on
the side of France, such as the mention of Neiningen never
fails to call forth in Germany. By. the treaty of Vienna,
the German confederation reserves indeed the right to con-
struct another fortress on the Rhine. But as M. Thiess'
menace, if really intended as a warlike demonstration,
ipso Joao *weeded that' treaty, it remains • puzzle how
the French could allow the fortress to be erected, with-
out some counter-demonstration. You will find the key
to this enigma in the activity and energy of the
liberal party in }laden, whom Louis Philippe is as anxious to
tame as Prince Metternich can be. Such neighbours are
dangerous for French projects at or near Geneva, as for
Austrian plans near Berne and Lucerne.
The second curious 't fact " remains to be accompllshed,
Is Austria to garrison the new (octet l which is now suffi-
Mend, advanced to be furnished with one ; or is Baden to
}reveille burthen and the honour ? Some relisnee his pro-
bably been placed on the economical tendencies of all
oppositions, and the hope been cherished that the Baden
people, out of respect to the sacrifice of daily pay of the
necessary troops undertaken by Austria, will allow • Croat
garrison to augment their own police. The cloven foot has.
however, been discovered, and probably the 'abject would
already have been angrily discussed in the liberal papers,
were not fears entertained that it might influence the decision
of the Diet on the motion made to relax the restrictions on
the prem.

COLOGNE, Arno. 14.
The journey of Baron Werner, from Vienna to'
, Berlin, on a special message, on the eve of the opening of
chambers, is looked upon here Es a sinister omen. Some
Said documents that base recently got into circulation
Mow the disposition of the Austrian government to be by no
means favourable to en Menses of parliamentary influence.
As the provincial estates of Austria have shown unusual ac-
tivity daring the last three years, and the Bohemians ere
expected not to remain behind the example of the capital on
their next assembling, the game to be played by the Austrian
cabinet may ke said to depend upon what is done at
Berlin. As them is no immediate financial pressure in
Prussia, the most interest will be excited by the propositions
made for regulating the censorship of the press. On this sub-
lett. a proposal to the Germanic diet has been drawn up end
notified, but has not yet been formally submitted to the
diet, as I stated in a former letter, and the Austrians ere
cheer enough to know that its fate will rather be decided
at B. rlin than at Frankfort. If the assembled estates obtain
the right of open discussion of grievances and any control over
the national expenditure, it will of course matter little whether
suck subjects are in' future discussed in the pipers or not.
The odds are great when the wits of whole nations arc pitted
against the cleverest ministers ;" end this will be found out
both at Vienne and at Berlin. The want of a statesman of
decided character, willing and able to take the helm in the
. new course which the King is abort to give to the state
vessel. is very much felt, and great regret is entertained at
' the way in which the King's popularity is destroyed Piece-
meal by his advisers. The decision of the Court of
Appeals et Cologne has been published in the
matter of Colonel Woedke and the wounded sailor.
fio far from allowing justice ite usual course, under which it
would probably have been difficult to prove that the colonel
ectually wounded the unfortunate sufferer, against whom no
accusation for tumultuous conduct was brought, the pub-
Inked decision contains a rejectbin of the appeal, with
was, on the ground of an order of the day published by the
general in command, stating that Colonel Wocilke bad not
e4eeeded the limits of his duty. The civil court Is thus made
to depend upon the fist of a commanding officer, in a ease
where complaint is raised against the conduct of the soldiery.
Asa natural moult, • subscription has been raised for the
wounded man amongst the citizens, and this proceeding,
together with the weakness of the court, has caused • further
persecution on the part of the officers of the crown. The
good feelings that a sovereign ought to be able to
count upon in emergencies are thus destroyed by the
miserable biekerioge of officious public servants. But
the emergencies themselves cannot be staved off. The
following announcement in the semiofficial organ of the
government on the Rhine, shows that Prussia is quite
aware of the hostility which any concession to a
.liberal
course of policy must necessarily awaken in Roam, and
that she interprets in that sense the recent overtures made
by her northern neighbour to France. The article is as
follows
Germany, especiaPy Prussia, would not comprehend its
true position between two great powers, if it did not care-
fully stitch every 'top taken both by Russia and by France.
It has been well said, that a King of ['rued' dares not deep.
Fertune has appornted him centuries ego to the pest of Lord
of the Marches of Brandenburg; and now that the youth
has attained to manhood be has been also named Lord of
