LATEST EUROPEAN NEWS. (From the Times.) We have received the papers from Berlin of the 20th, from Cologne of the 21st, from Heide'berg of the 20th, from Augsburg of the 18th, and from Vienna of the 17th May, from which we txu\ut the fol'owiug intelligence I Put'SSlA. The Cologne Gazette contains rddresspa fo th« Ministers from Stettin, Kheids, GLulluch, Ludenscheidt, and many o'lier (owns in supp-rt of the recal i>i the Pnnce of Prussia. A correspondent of the Culo,ne Gnzitie asserts that Mr. Jutv, the leader >'f t'u* HerJiu Radicals, is preparing u droi t of a constitut on which hi» i"tcnd< to prnp«iv to the Prus«ian H'*rliament. constitution is stated to be Republican in popular Government leaving the Crown nowflpor influence whatever.

Gazette, states that part of the Polish insurgents, led by A. Malczewski, have retired into Kujania, being reinforced on their way by a number of peasant prisoners whom the Prussian commander had set on parole, having first ma ked them with an indelible black Hoe on their right hand and ears. Many of these marked men have nevertheless been brought to Posen» having again been taken with arms in their hands in the midst of the rabble bands. One of them, on being asked what objects they had in view f and what surh doings must lead them to ? answered, " We must sacrifice ourselves for our couutry. % The number of victims is not yet completed, for if were, God would have given us a sign of grace." being told he was sure to be shot if caught the second time, the peasant coolly replied, " It takes a ppasant a long time to make up his mind to anything» but when his mind is made up. he does nit care for deß.tb." MieroUawski has receivri his passport and set out for France. South*** Germany. The Baden paper'publish a proclamation of Grand Duke Leopold, appointing a commission of five judges to prosecute am' tr 7 tb® captive Republicans, and to sentence d PO Q them according to the verdict of a jury, who a*« to decide as to the facts. A letter from Karlsruhe °f the 17th inst., in tbe Cologne Gazttie, asserts that two of the Republican leaders, Willi*'* and Hecker—of whom oue is in France and the other in Switzerland—are<prepating for another £ray into Germany. Willich is stated to have collected as many as 1,600 men, most of them French. It can scarcely be supposed tbat tbe malignant among the Republicans, such as Willich and Struve, or mad fanatics, such as Hcinzsu and Hecker, will remain j quiet; indeeJ, they have publicly declurtd the contrary, but it is not probable that; tliey can have ral'ied t'kir forces so saon after so signal a defeat as they •experienced. t The same correspondent of the Colognc Gazette Itjirows a doubt upon his assertions by reportin; tlic V lovilofthe Hts<ian federal troop* from Baden, %*nere they certainly would remain, if their service* «rere requirtd, to repel any threatened iutasiun.
