BADEN AND HESSE.
DONANSCUINGEN, APRIL 15.—The seditious plan!
of HECKER and STRUVE have failed, and our city Is
delivered from the imminent danger which threatened

afternoon, but the main body awaited the entrance
of the troops, when they quickly took their departure_
in regular marching order, with colours flying here

an attack was meditated, in conjunction with
body of insurgents from Constance. The bands
were headed by HecKea, KAISER, and Av. An SToc-
ICACH had seized the mail-bags, and possessed himself
of part of their contents. The devastation caused
everywhere by the insurgents will long be recoena

plain insurrection of the most worthless character,.
whose aim is a civil war, and the subversion of
every legal authority. This discovery b°

the subject. It is said that a respite of threia dor

satisfied respecting this evacuation, and are of opini°°
that even if Prussia should advance with a force T,
60,000 to 70,000 men upon Schleswig, the DapilP
army, of 40,000, would be able to take up a favoilt.
able position against them, and that Prussia, moll'
