THE HACH:M.-4n the sitting of the Second Cham-
ber on the 22d, Mr. VAN THORNEEKE'S motion tG
postpone the. proceedings till the reconstitution of the
Cabinet was adopted.by 40 votes against 7. Nothing
is yet known as to new ministerial combinations;
many names are cited, but none with sufficient cer-
tainty to be relied upon.'
The Constitutiosiai Correspondence gives the fol-
lowing additional particulars respecting the robbery
committed on the firm of Schaffhausen :—A libra-
rian at Berlin received a packet addressed to London,
with the request that he would forward it, without
delay, to that city. This packet having been opened
by the police, was found to contain the stolen shares,
to the amount of 43,000. The thief has not yet been
taken. The Deutsche Zeitung says that the robbery
of Schaffhausen Bank is a topic of lively dis
cussion at Cologne. Pursuit is being made after
a stenographer, formerly of Berlin, and after-
'wards one of the editors of the West Deutsche
Zeilung at Cologne. It is said that he employed.
his younger brother, who was one of the clerks in
the said firm, to steal the shares and forward them to
him, and then for both to make their escape to foreign
parts. The stenographer set out on the evening of
the 17th inst. from Cologne; the followicg morning
the clerk was reported sick, and did not make his ap-
pearance at the office. On the 19th, suspicions
having been excited, investigations were made, and
the robber was discovered.
The clerk was no where to be found, but the police
having given the necessary instructions, he was ar-
rested this evening, just as he was embarking on
board a steamer. After having acknowledged his
crime, he denounced his brother and other persons as
accomplices. lie was accordingly locked up for the
night.

DUCHIES OF SCHLESWIG.

becomes every day more embarrassing in Soutl
Schleswig, and rumours are afloat—rumours '
authenticity of which strongly 'require confirm the
ation
—that the Stadtholderate intends to denouncre the
armistice as soon as the limited time has e;cpired.

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
A letter from Vienna of the 20th says :
" The state of siege will immediately be raised. It is
very probable that in the next organization of Hungary
there will be three distinct groups—that of Hungary, or
the Magyar, properly so called, Transylvania and Scla-
vonia, and Servia. The Sclovacs of the north will, how-
ever, continue to be considered as Hungarians, and have
even wished to be called such at present.
" The second grand conference of the Council of
Ministers takes place in presence of the Emperor at
Schceobrun. After that the Emperor will proceed to
Trieste, accompanied by Marshal Radetzky. The mar-
riager e
cwtieldh. hisC o Count tan stlhaes ZPerl iinnsekeys s,

a captain of Hulans, has been condemned to ten years'
hard labour, for having betrayed the imperial cause."
According to a letter from Acs, the negotiations
with the fortress of Comorn have been completely
broken off, and the Imperial troops are preparing for
an assault upon the fortress. The actual siege is to
commence during the course of the present week.
80,000 men, together with the best military equip-
ments and materials, are at the disposal of the com-
mander of the siege. Marshal GERARD, writing of
Antwerp, said it would take 29 days to take that
fortress by assault, after a regular siege. Field
Marshal NUGENT, having far greater difficulties to sur
mount, will require from 40 to 48 days .to take
Comm. According to the Wanderer, a report is
circulated in Vienna, that in consequence of the in-
tervention of RADETZLY, Comorn will capitulate on
the same terms as Venice. Among the numerous
conditions proposed by the Council of War of
Comorn for the surrender of the fortress, is the de-
mand of an entire amnesty for the superior officers
and civil functionaries of the fortress, and the con-
servation of their rank as officers. The insurgent
Count LENANGE, it is said, has died of cholera at
Arad.

The Russian troops who occupied the mountain
villages have been sent on to Comorn, and have
been replaced by 3,000 men of the Sclavonian
Landsturm.
Count CHOWNSRT, Governor of Lower Austria,
has published a notice, stating that the house of
M. A. -ROTHSCHILD, of Frankfort, has been autho-
rised to receive subscriptions, securities, and pay.
ments for the new Austrian loan. The Emperor of
RUSSIA has offered to contribute largely to the
new Austrian loan of sixty millions. The new
paper money of 4i per cent. sold at the Bourse at
8.5 f to-day.
I'he Minister of War bas decided that the Austrian
fleet of Venice shall be transferred from Pola to
Trieste, and that the command shall be given in the
German language. It is said that a corps of observa-
tion similar to that at the Vorarlberg is to be esta-
blished at Bohemia. A regiment coming from Italy,
and a battalion from Genie, and one from Innspruck,
are marching for Bohemia.
A letter from Trieste of the 17th, states that the
EMPEROR is prevented by indisposition from paying
that city a visit on the opening of the railway.
KLAGENFURTH, SEPT. 18.—GEORGET, as has al-
ready been stated, arrived here on the 11th. He was
seated in his own carriage, accompanied by his wire,
his daughter, and Major ANDRESST. Immediately
behind his carriage was a second, occupied by
arquebuaieres. The whole party alighted at the
hotel of the Imperial Crown. lie walks about the
streets quite at liberty, accompanied only by his wife
'or the Major. Public curiosity is of course greatly
excited wherever he appears. Ilc has expressed his
intention of purchasing a country house in the
neighbourhood of Klegenfurtb, where he may enjoy
the sweets of retirement with his family, after a year
of unwonted excitement.
The Wanderer says that the Imperial army around
Comorn have received orders to bombard the for-
tress, with every species of projectile, until it be
destroyed. This is a lamentable resource, but it is
the only one V% hid will make us masters of this last
strong hold of the insurgents. An assault would in-
volve a useless sacrifice of the soldiers; and, more-
over, recent experiments have proved that the
projectiles reach not only the city but also the for-
tress. It is no exaggeration to say that the siege of
Comorn has already involved the cost of a whole cam-
paign ;.the bombardment, by means of the large bombs,
cost each time as much as 64 florins. The last condi-
tions which the garrison proposed were as follows :
Free egress for the whole garrison, with their arms,
and liberty to retire to anypart of Hungary which
they may think fit, The garrison is 3.5,000 strong.
