AUSTRIA.

The following is the last army bulletin
"According to a telegraphic dispatch which we have
just received, the fortress of Leopoldstadt surrendered
at discretion yesterday, the 2d instant, at nine o'clock in
the morning, after having been bombarded for an hour.
Field-Marshal Lieutenant Simunich will without delay
advance in two columns by way of Gross Topolesan,
Neutra, and Verebely to occupy the mining towns
(Schemnitz and Kremnitz), as Major-General Gotz, to-
gether with the Brigade Jablonowsky, after the ocenpa-
tion of Neusohl, closely pursued the routed rebel hordes
under Georgy, as also the small bodies of insurgents
collected by Ballogh, near Assenberg.
" We have just received the following report from
Field-Marshal Lieutenant Dahlen, dated Agram, Fe-
bruary 1, 1549:--' I have just had the news that Major-
General Baron Trebersburg, on the 30th January, at
five P.N., attacked the suburbs of the fortress Essegg,
and took them by storm. At six o'clock our victorious
troops had got possession of the three suburbs. We
captured 100 of the rebels in their attempt to retreat into
the fortrest; among them were several cavalry officers.
The commanders of the storming columns were--Colonel
van der Null, cf Gradiska Regiment; Colonel Ilalavanya,
of Brood Regiment; Major Dragich, of Peterwardeiu
Regiment; Capt. Tarbuck, of St. George Regiment (these
are four of the redoubted military frontier or Croat regi-
ments); and Capt.Bari:sich of the Imperial regimen t Arch-
duke Leopold. At six o'clock the lower town was bore-
bArdad from the fortress during an hour. General Tre-
barsburg then sent an officer with a flag of truce to
summon the commander of the fortress to surrender.'

" The Brigades Paltry and Dietrich, belonging to the
Corps of the General of the Ordnance, Count Nugent,
occupied Fiintkirchen without any resistance being
offered, as has already been made known. Count Nu-
gent has dispatched troops from the last-meutioned town
in pursuit of the rebels under Neureygei, who have iced
towards Essegg, and has also sent a detachment to oc-
cupy Mohacz, there to effect a union with the Servians
operating on the left bank of the Danube.

Military Governor.;

ITALY.

Letters from Rome of the 31st ult. announce that
the Roman Government has sent a new capitulation
to the Swiss for acceptance, in virtue of which they

will be in the service of the Roman States, and not in
that of the absent sovereign. The two Spanish ves-
sels that had arrived at Gaeta have no troops on board,
as had been stated. The other five vessels still keep
the open sea.
The Risorginiento of Turin, of the 4th, states that
as Count Plessa, the Piedmontese Minister, had not
been admitted to an audience of the King of Naples,
Charles Albert has ordered passports to be delivered
to Count Ludolf, Neapolitan Ambassador at Turin.
The Costituente Italiana of Florence of the 2d
states that a retrograde demonstration, headed by the
nobility, had taken place at Siena. A crowd, pre-
ceded by the Tuscan, instead of the Italian flag, went
to the grand-ducal palace, crying, " Down with the
Constituent ! Long live the King of NAPLES !
Death to the students!" The movement was evi-
dently encouraged by the Governor. The students,
offended at the hostile feeling evinced towards them,
have determined to leave Siena, and continue their
studies at Pisa.

The Alba of Florence, of the 2d, publishes the sen-
tence of the military tribunal at Rome, in the affair
of the attempt of the 19th. Two of the soldiers have
been condemned to death ; twenty to the galleys for
life, fifteen to the galleys for twenty years, eleven for
fifteen years, and three for five years. It is believed
the sentences to death will not be executed.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Serrice Gazette of this day.)
HOUSEHOLD BRIGADE OF GUARDS.
The half-yearly exchange of quarters of the Infantry
of the Household Brigade will take place on the Ist of
March, as follows:
GRENADIER GUARDS.-ISt Battalion From St.
John's-wood to Portman-street Barracks. 2c/ Battalion
—From the Tower to Windsor. 3d Battalion—From
Portman street to Wellington Barracks.
COLDSTREADI GUARDS.-Ist Battalion—From Wind-
sor to St. George's Barracks. 2d Battalion—From St.
George's Barracks to the Tower.
SCOTS FUSILIER GUARDS.-ISt Battalion—From Chi-
chester to St. John's-wood. 2d Battalion—From Wel-
lington Barracks to Chichester.
SCHOOLMASTERS FOR THE ARMY.—The first party
of young men educated under the new system intro-
duced by the Rev. Mr. Gleig, Chaplain-General to the
Forces, at the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea, will
leave that establishment in the course of next month, to
join those regiments in which ♦acancies have occurred
consequent upon the discharge of those Sergeants under
the old system.
THE OLD PENINSULAR WARRIORS AT CHELSEA
HosprrAL—Last Wednesday proved a glorious day for
the old veterans of many a hard-earned fight, upon the
occasion of the reception of the long and anxiously-
looked-for Peninsular medals. The distribution was
under the superintendence of Colonel Sir John Wilson,
C. 8., the Adjutant of the establishment, who took the
opportunity of commenting upon their gallant conduct
in the cause of their country, and expressed a wish that
each of them would live many years to wear their gra-
cious Sovereign's mark of her approbation of their ser-
vices.

THE GOVERNOR OF MALTA.—It is strongly reported
that it is likely that Mr. More O'Ferral will relinquish
the Government of this island very shortly, and that the
Governorship will be amalgamated, as previously to his
appointment, with that of Commander-in-Chief, Lieu-
tenant Ellice holding both appointments. It is said that
Mr. O'Ferral is heartily sick of the " srnytches," and
their intolerable hostility towards Englishmen, and more
especially the British army. Mrs. M. O'Ferral has been
absent from Malta for the last six months.
SHELLS AND SHELL-ROOMS.—The Admiralty have or-
dered that in ships where the shell-rooms are already
fitted, the supply of fitted shells is to be according to the
number the shell-room is calculated to hold.
THE EARL OF HARDWICEE.—We have authority for
stating that Captain the Earl of Hardwiake did not so-
licit employment from the present Government ; but the
command of the Vengeance, 84, having been offered to
him (with what view and for what reasons let our readers
infer themselves), the Noble Earl, who never re-
fused service, accepted the command. Lord Hardwicke,
it will be remembered, is on the Senior Captains' List, the
67th only from the top ; and not having served his term
for his flag rank, it may easily be imagined that the
Noble Lord was most desirous of making up his two
years as soon as possible. No doubt the present Govern-
ment, and the Admiralty especially, were heartily glad
to get rid of a troublesome customer on the Navigation
Laws' question, as also on the reduction of our naval
forces. It happened in this instance that the Noble
Lord's disposition to serve afloat jumped with the disin-
terested desire of the Government to employ him.
THE NAVAL COMMAND IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.—
It is currently reported that Vice-Admiral Sir W. Par-
ker, Bart., G.C.i3., will return to England in April
next, end that Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., will succeed
the gallant Vice-Admiral in command of the
.I!4editerra-
nean squadron.
REAR-ADMIRAL CA.RROLL.—The Mayor of 1356 has
called a general meeting of the inhabitants, for the pur-
pose of presenting some testimonial to this gallont offi-
cer, as a mark of esteem for his great assiduity in the
performance of his duties during a period of 14 years.
The officers and men of the police force of Bath have
also presented their late esteemed chief officer with a
very handsome silver snuff-box, as a small token of
gratitude for his continual anxiety for their welfare and
comforts.

THE VERNON FRIGATE.—The Admiralty having de-
termined that the Vernon, 50• gun frigate, shall be re-
paired at Chatham, at a❑ estimated cost of 54,5001.,
have strongly enforced upon the Shipwright Department
there the necessity of observing the strictest economy in
the work; that is, according to Somerset-house prac-
tice, " wherever you can slopo off any portion of the
charge on any other ship, don't hesitate to do it."
ROYAL NAVAL ASSISTANT-SURGEONS.—A deputation
from the London College of Surgeons, headed by Mr.
Green, have sought an interview with the new First
Lord of the Admiralty, with reference to the grieuances
of the assistant-surgeons of the navy.
THE RLv. Du. MORGAN.—The venerable and uni-
versally-esteemed Chaplain of her Majesty's Dockyard,
Portsmouth, is so dangerously ill that he is not expected
to survive. Dr. Morgan has just completed the 80th
year of his age,
