AUSTRIA.

Sixty thousand Honveds have been incorporated in
those regiments of infantry which have remained
faithful to the Emperor. The Austrian army of war
is to amount to 450,000 men, well equipped and
thoroughly trained for war.
The Vienna papers announce the arrival of General
Haynau at Gratz. No executions have taken place
in Hungary since that officer left the country. But
the Wiener Zeitung publishes a sentence condemning
one Paul Sontag to be imprisoned for two years, for
having in Oct. last assisted General Bern in escaping
from Vienna. Several changes in the various depart-
ments of military Government are mentioned by the
Austrian papers. Count Gyulay, the present Secre-
tary-at-W ar, is to vacate his post and enter upon a
military Government in Italy ; General Dahlen is
appointed to the War•office ; Count Schlick is to have
the government of Hungary, and General d'Aspre is
to command at Gorz. The Barons liiibeck and
Schonhals are mentioned as members of the German
Central Commission.

From Pesth we are informed of another bloody
scene in the great Hungarian tragedy. It has lately
become the fashion to force young Hungarians of
birth and education to enlist in the least respectable
Austrian regiments. A certain Baron Podmanitzky
was thus compelled to be a common driver to the
artillery, and it so happened that shortly after his
joining the corps he was accused by his corporal of
having on his march lost part of a bag of corn, and
the young nobleman was sentenced to be flogged.
On the morning after this disgraceful punishment had
been inflicted on him, Baron Podmanitzky entered
the apartment of his captain, and offering that officer
the choice of two pistols, he challenged him to fight a
duel on the spot. They fired, and the captain was
slightly wounded. Baron Podmanitzky was of course
placed under arrest, tried, and condemned to capital
punishment.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, OCT. 29..—There is much talk here of a
private alliance concluded between Bavaria, Wurtem-
burg, and Hanover, for the purpose of counteracting
the influence of Prussia and Austria by this intimate
union of the smaller states. The idea of this alliance
was first started by M. Struve. Bavaria hesitated
for a long time in consideration of its intimate relation
with Austria, but has ultimately joined this alliance.
Saxony still holds out, alleging its obligations to
Prussia, but there is no saying how long gratitude
will restrain Saxon politics.
