NUGENT has been recalled from the command of
the besieging army before Comorn, and lIArNAu has
been appointed in his place.
The Wiener Zcitung of the 26th ult. announces
the nomination of the Archduke ALBERT to the com-
mand in-chief of the army of Bohemia, which will
consist of 40,000 men, with 12 batteries of artillery.
The same official journal publishes an ordonnance
by the military and civil governor, dated 24th,
stating that resistance, even unarmed, to the police
and municipal guard, shall be treated in the same
way as unarmed resistance during the subsistence
of the state of siege, and as such shall be amenable to
the military tribunal.

The EMPEROR has approved of the propositions of
the Minister of Commerce for the introduction of
various postal reforms.
The folowing are some of the principal proposi-
tions

The pre-payment of letters by means of postage
stamps affixed is generally introduced.
The postage of letters is reduced to three kreutzers
(rather more than one penny) to the distance of
sixty leagues inclusive, and to six kreutzers, 211,
to every distance, however remote, exceeding sixty
leagues.

This rate of postage is applicable to the single
letter not exceeding half an ounce (Austrian) in
weight. The rate is doubled for every weight ex-
ceeding the half•ounce.
The unfortunate Hungarians are every day
subjected to fresh cruelties.

JOSEPH VON RUDNIANSKY, Bishop of Marbeal, has
just received his sentence from the court martial at
Pesth ; he is not only to be deprived of his bishopric,
but is to be placed in close confinement for six years.
The ex-Minister TANGtS was carried in chains to
the prison of Newgebande, where Baron TERENGI,
President of the Board of Magnates, is also confined.
Mr. ScuwAn, the principal Rabbi of the Jewish
community, has been sentenced to Pix years' elose
confinement fur having preached a pclitical sermon.
RADETSKY is so disgusted with the vindictive course
pursued towards the Hungarians that he has declared
hii intention not to take any part for the future in
the conferences on Hungary.
A new customs tariff is about to be published,
enacting among other reforms the abolition of the
monopoly of tobacco.

AUSTRIA, RUSSIA, AND TURKEY.
VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—A Russian courier en route
for Constantinople passed through the capital last
night. He is said to be the bearer of an ultimatum
to the Porte, demanding the delivery of the Hun-
garian refugees, and likewise defraying a portion of
the expenses of the war from the fact of having fa-
voured and harboured the rebels.

It is still positively asserted that the coronation of
the EMPEROR will take place before the end of the
year ; it is probable that the taking of Comorn will
decide the exact period of this event.
The empowered Commission of Slavonia, which is
now at Vienna, has presented a memorial to the
Ministry, in which the two following points are
given as the general .lesire of the Slavonian nation.
- " 1. That the Constitution Octroy ee of the 4th of
March be solemnly published in the Slavonian nation
in the German and Slavonian languages.
" 2. That the Slavonian North Hungarian nation
be severed from the Magyars under the ancient
designation of Slowakie, Slowenski, and, together
with the Servian Way wodina, be constituted into
divided crown•lands, and be subject immediately to
the high government of the State."— German Papers.
