little of the affection of his new subjects. The
towns-people complain of Ins thoughtlessness and
indifference, snit his submission to favourites at
Carbruit', who extort any privileges by. importu-
nity and intrigue. All the little Princes seek. to
advance the splendour of their residences by immu-
nities to persons who build: houses, &c. ; but the
Grand Duke of Baden gni-tithe arbitrary length of
contributing, besides wood, one-third of the ex-
pellee, which he of course draws from the public
revenue. The taxes are now very heavy, and the
inhabitants of Manheim naturally complaio, that
while their own town declines in population, they
are thus compelled to cotsti 'bate to the extension of
Carlsruhe.
The new regime of Germany has ranked the
Grand Doke of Baden the seventh member of the
Serene Confederation, coming immediately after
the King of Wirtemberg, and before the solitary
Elector of Hesse Cassel ; now as much sit Elector
in reality, as an inhabitant of Birmingham or Matt.
cheater. In the latter days of the Empire, the
Elector ranked above the then humble Dukes of
Wirtemberg; but the sovereigns of Wirtemberg
nod Bade'. have availed themselves, more adroitly,
of the tide of polities, and by enlisting, senlously,

dente. The Allies, some will say, should not have
permitted a stomach old legitimate to be pushed
from his stool by • Grand Duke and a King of
yesterday, whose eliguities are rather equivocally
acquired from • rather equivocal source. But the
statesmen of Vienna thought otherwise—mid you
can easily conceive that compact military sovereign-
ties were in a condition to negotiate more e
ViOUllly than an emigrant Prince just returned foam
tail.. The near relationship of Baden with Naha,
seal Wirtemberg with Great Britain. may also
have given some weight to the notes of their
diplu-
maliets.

The population of the Grind Dochy of Bs-
den—henceforward a considerable power—is about
1,200,000, nearly three nines the amount before
the profitable Confederation of the Rhine. The
revenue before that event was nearly 300,0001. per
annum ; it is now, I believe, increased in about the
same prOportion as the territory. Besides his con-
nexion on nephew by marriage •to Napoleon, the
Grand Duke wits—whether willingly or not, far be
it Ilona me to decide—a useful member of the
Rhenish Confederation. His state was drained, mood
his people squeezed dry, to support his contingent
of trOOFIS, at one time amounting to no In. than
20,000 men. 100 his zeal, or in his hard task-work,
(whichever it is to be called), the Grand Duke
brought into the field as many troops as his much
inure competent neighbour of Wirtemberg. His
Royal Highness was little with them himself. Cam-
paigning little soils his weak indolent character;
but they were well equipped by hi* people's gold,
and ably commanded by the young Counts of
Hochberg, under whom they gained considerable
distinction.

Ili,. peace establishment amounts to about eight
thousand men ; four times as many as his subjects
are disposed to cou►ider necessary for garrisoning
the town, mounting ■nd relieving guard, and pa-
rading in full dress before the Palace. In this num.
brr there are about thirty-three generals; a gene-
ral to about every two hundred and thirty men;
a proportion, or rather disproportion, which re-
n►inds one of our infantine tastes, when i.t our
tin or paste-hoard armies we always treated as many
officer, as privates, because they were the prettiest,
and 111014 showy. Urifortunately, however, for the
filissicts of Wilco, General Officers are more costly
play-things than soldiers, and the people complain
loudly that not above ►ix or seieti of these doughty
commanders are in service, while the remainder re-
ceive pay is favou►ites of the Court, and their
number is continually augmented to miike snug ►e-
tirtog shelves for the dignitaries whorls Court
maiscewires lay aside to make room for other

aspirers.
It is drifieult to give you an idea of the govern-
ment ■nd political rimilltion of Belden.. The ex-
hauvting efforts of the country at the conclusion of
the late war, and the weak unstable character of the
Grand Duke. have left every thidg, according !o
the vulgar nitrate, at sixes and *verily. The Iles.
pevaie couditi 111 l of the finances has arrived at the
unusual extremity or frequently retarding the idio-
ms of the servants of government. The taxes are
