of military justice. Lieutenant Jean Kubellatsch, be-
longing to the Reischach regiment of infantry, WY con-

treme bravery and intelligence, and his conduct gained

Minister of War for the Cross. In conseqmenee of unin-
terrupted marshes, the newly-created °Meier was unable
to procure • uniform, and, in the battle of Radowa, he
again-presented himself before the enemy in that of •
sergeant, with his musket and cartouche-box. As in
the previou• battles, he conducted himself bravely;
but when his regiment was routed, he threw aside his
mu-ket in the Bight, and for this act alcne he warn

presence of one hundred witnesses—for his sentence was
pronounced in motet. nn the day of his execution be

lieutenant supplicated the colonel for pardon, but in
vain. The irons were taken off his eyes bandaged, and
flee obasseurs advanced towards their comrade, who
fell, struok with four bullets. This deplorable event
bas produced a painful sensation everywhere in Austria."
