AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The Presburger Zeitung publishes the following
official account of the terms on which Comorn sur-
rendered to the Imperialists :
" 1. The departure of the garrison is allowed without
arms: the swords of the officers are to remain in their
possession. To those officers who formerly served in the
Imperial army passports for abroad will be granted:
those whom passports do not suit will be freely dismissed
to their homes, with the exception of such as present
themselves voluntarily to the authorities. The Honved
officers, that is, the officers who have not served before,
will be allowed to reside unmolested in their homes, without
reservation of their future employment. The private
soldiers of the Imperial regiments are amnestied, and
both these and such privates as have obtained the rank
of officers are left at liberty. and will be subjected to no
further prosecution by law. 2. Passports for abroad
will be distributed to all who claim such within 30 days.
3. A month's pay for the officers, and ten days' wages
for the men of the garrison, will be given in Austrian
national bank notes, according to the Austrian
usage of war. 4. Towards compensation for divers en-
gagements incurred on the part of the garrison through
notes on the military chest, the sum of half a million
of florins to be paid down in Austrian bank-notes. 5.

in the hospitals. 1. Private property moveable and im-
moveable to be preserved inviolate. 7. Place, time, and
node of laying down arms to be hereafter determined.
S. All hostilities on either side to be immediately
stopped. 9. The fortress will be given up according to
the usage of war, and after the exchange of ratifica-
tions.—Pasta-Herkaly, Sept. 27, 1849.—(Signed) Hay-
nau, F.Z.M.; Captains Tackat, Gasparetz; Lieutenant-

ginal.—Comorn, Sept. 29, 1849.—Szellanyi, Lieutenant-
Colonel, Chief of the Staff."

According to an official communication from the
head-quarters at Acs, the occupation of Comorn by
the Austrian troops began on the 2d.
The same journal (which is the organ of HAYNAU)
states that Vienna will shortly be relieved from the
state of siege.
A letter from Vienna of the 3d says—

" The differences between Austria wand the Porte ap-
pear, thank Heaven, to have taken a satisfactory turn.
The representative of the Porte went yesterday to declare
the intentions of his Government not to embroil itself
with Austria on the subject of the Hungarian refugees,
and to give the latter every satisfaction consistent with
the laws of humanity. The Turkish Ambassador re-
mains here at his post; he has not received his passports,
as has been reported in some quarters."
FUAD EFFENDI, the Ambassador from the SULTAN
to the Emperor of Russia, has passed through the
Hungarian territory of the Bukowina, en route for
St. Petersburgh.
The Austrian Lloyd, has published an attack on
Lord PALMERSTON for the support which he has given
to Turkey ; the Freese, on the contrary, urges on the
Austrian Government the necessity of not persevering
in the unjust demand of the extradition of the refugees.
The following is a translation of a letter from Gen.
Wrsoccr, commanding the Polish Legion in the
service of Hungary, now at Widdin, addressed to an
officer sent to him to Constantinople, in answer to the
proposal of the Divan, that the officers and soldiers of
the legion should embrace the Mussulman religion
as a condition of the protection of the SULTAN
against the demands of the Emperor of RusslA::
" WIDDIN, SEPT. 19, 1849.
"Dear Bielinski,—l received your letter from Con.
stantinople, written visibly under the first impression,
and when your thoughts were engrossed with the ono
only object of saving us. No, it cannot be, we cannot
listen to the proposition of the Turks, for it is impossible
to enter upon a compromise with our consciences. If
we look upon a man as infamous who changes his poli-
tical creed for the sake of selfish motives, what wouid we
have to say of him who, for the sake of safety would
change the creed of his fathers?
" Moreover, you must remember that we do not stand
here in a private capacity, but that we represent our
whole nation. Are we, then, permitted to bring, by
cowardice, an eternal stain upon the character of our
people? What would say the world? What would say
posterity? No I once mere, nol Happen what may, we
shall not tarnish the Polish name. I request you, in my
name, and in the name of the whole legion, not to enter
into negotiation with the Turks upon this subject; for,
by such an act, the Turks would bring upon themselves
and upon us an eternity infamy.
" As regards your question, how you have to act with
reference to the Sultan and to his government, do all
you can to save this handful of men; but mind, that our
country, the honour of our name, are foremost—our
safety is a secondary matter.

"I embrance your most sincerely,
(Signed) " JOSEPEI WYSOCKI."

PRUSSIA.
The Prince of PRUSSIA has been appointed Military
Governor of Westphalia.

CENTRAL GERMANY.

The convention between Prussia and Austria
relative to the new Provisional Federal Government
was signed on the 30th of September, at Vienna, by
Count BERNSTORP and Prince SCHWARTZBNBURG.
A space of ten days was allowed for its ratification
by the two powers. The convention is based on the
Prussian plan in all its fundamental points, the
jurisdiction of the Central Federal Commission being
so well defined as to render impossible any usurpa-
tion of the powers of the ancient Diet. The project of
a federative Gertnan state on the basis of the alliance
of the three Kings appears to have been entirely
abandoned.

It is announced that in so far as respects the
arrangement between Prussia, Austria, and Bavaria,
the two first powers have agreed to name together
the President of the definitive Central Power; but if
they oannot agree, then Bavaria and Saxony will also
have a deliberative voice.
