AUSTRIA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) Vienna, Sept. 29.

As the capitulation of Comoro has x not yet officially been made known', doubts begin to wist among the people bete at to the coV^

rectness of the news which formed the postscript of my yesterday's letter. I can but say that the information I then gave is perfectly correct, as 1 have this morning spoken to the bearer of the despatch. The official report will, in all probability, not appear until the Imperialists have completely occupied the fortress, as, mindful of the adage "there's many a slip *twixl cup and lip," our Government does not feel inclined to communicate anything which it could possibly be obliged subsequently to contradict. It is singular enough that General Nugent, who arrived here yesterday, was just demonstrating to his Imperial master the hopelessness of being able to come to terms with the insurgents, and the absolute necessity there would be for reducing the fortress to a heap of ruins, when the courier arrived bringing the news from Haynau that the capitulation had actually been signed. You will recollect that a fortnight since I informed you that Government intended to remove General Nugent from the command of the army before Comorn, and this design will sufficiently account for his presence here. I learn that the capitulation was not signed by Klapka, who is confined to his bed, but by a deputation, one of the members of which, was Prince Paul Esterhajcy, that appeared in the camp of the besiegers. To employ my military informant's own language, the whole deputation was completely " chap-fallen," and yielded because the troops in the fortress absolutely insisted upon the surrender being made. From another source I hear that Baron Haynau having taken th« command of the army on the 27th, a summons was sent to the garrison to surrender, which not being attended to, the works of the Sandberg were bombarded. After the cannonade had lasted some seven or eight hours the capitulation took place. Several letters from Pesth mention that boats had been seen passing down the Danube during the nights of the 26th and 27th, and it is supposed that they contained persons from the fortress who were so much compromised that they determined not to trust themselves in the hands of the Imperialists, even though a general amnesty should be granted. Now that it can be said with truth that the Hungarian war is completely ended, we may hope that no time will be lost in the work of re- organization, and in future you must expect that my letters will be confined to subjects possibly of less interest to the vi odd at large, but of vital importance to every inhabitant of this vast empire. I shall soon probably have to inform you that the last Russian troops have left the Austrian territories, for it was understood that General Grabbe with his army corps would bid farewell to his brethren in arms as soon as an Imperial garrison was in possession of Comorn. At the beginning of this week — on Monday, I believe — the Russian commander invited General Nugent to review the troops under his command, which having been done, the field-day ended, as I fancy such military games generally do, by the allied commanders with their suites sitting down to an excellent dinner. As the Hungarian outposts and some small troops of hussars had the pleasure of lookiug oa while the review was taking place, it is not impossible that their wish to surrender was strengthened by the spectacle. The Russian General Panjutin left Cracow wilh his staff on the 24th, and it is generally supposed that all the Russian troops will have quitted Austria before the winter sets in. The greater part of the Russian forces will go into winter quarters in the interior of Russia : the remainder will for a time be cantoned near the frontiers. The Crown land of Transylvania is to be provisionally divided into the six districts of Carlsburg, Clausenburg, Retteg, Uduathely, Fogarssch, and Hermannstadt. The branch districts of Cronstadt and Bistritz will be subjected to Herroannstadt. The six districts to be sub-divided into circuits and sub-circuits. A military commander and a civil commissary will be at the head of each district. Three district commanders have already been appointed — Colonel Urban for Clausenburgh, Major Beizinaner for Retteg, and Major Heydte, for Uduarhely. Many civil employes in Transylvania, formerly most furious tri-colour men have lately become red-hot Iraperia'ists; but, notwithstanding their sudden conversion, they will hardly pass muster before the Imperial " Committee of Purification." 1 cannot refrain from mentioning an on dit of the day : the Pesth papers most gravely assure their readers that Kossuth has become a Mussulman, and that he ami some of bis companions may be seen at Widdin, wearing the Turkish " fez." If the covering one's pericranium with the red cap in question transforms the wearer into a Ma,homedan, your correspondent is no better than a renegado, for he has a most distinct recollection of having some twenty yea is ago worn a "fez" as a travelling- cap in parts " beyond the seas." It is reported* here that Count Cassimir Batthiany, B*juik, the Hungarian Police, Minister, and two other insurgents have escaped

fidtb Widdfoj tiniest lam much deceived, Ire shall soon hear that many others have "teen just as fortunate. About 10,000 men with the artillery that 'accompanies such a corps, will march at once •from Italy to Vorarlberg. On their arrival the army of observation stationed there will • araouni to 21 infantry battalions, 12 squadrons of cavalry, and 11 batteries. The four brigades in Bohemia form an army of observation about 40,000 strong. The Minister of Commerce has made known to the mercantile world that the exportation -of lead and other materials employed in the manufaMure of ammunition, as also of weapons • and the materials from which they are constructed, is prohibited out of Croatia and ISclavonia "as long as the disturbances continue in Bosnia;
