ExpATR1ATIoN IN BADES.-Thc Baden Gov
ernment has recently made some declarations
regarding the expatriation question. 1t is
declared that the Government Of Baden does
not require American naturalized citizens,
who have been subjects in Baden, to perform
duty there in case they return, even if they
have emigra.ed without consent-that is, if
they return merely for visit. 1t is presumed
that the expstriation controversy here and
the last letter Of Gen. Cass, has had whole
some influence abroad.
