      Re:  AllianceBernstein Municipal Income Fund, Inc. - National Portfolio
           Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form N-14
           File No.: 811-04791
           ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. O'Connell:

Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"),
AllianceBernstein Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (CIK#0000798737) (the
"Registrant") hereby respectfully requests withdrawal of the following
Pre-Effective Amendment (the "Amendment") to its Registration Statement
on Form N-14 for National Portfolio, a series of the Registrant:

- --------------------  ---------------  -----------------  ----------------------
   Pre Effective
  Amendment Number      Date Filed      Submission Type      Accession Number
- --------------------  ---------------  -----------------  ----------------------
         1               3/20/2009           N-14/A        0000919574-09-007445
- --------------------  ---------------  -----------------  ----------------------

The Registrant requests withdrawal of the Amendment because an incorrect 1933
Act File Number was indicated with the filing of the Amendment. The Registrant
has re-filed the Amendment with the correct 1933 Act File Number (Accession
Number 0000919574-09-007631).

      If you have any questions regarding this matter or require additional
information, please contact me at (202) 737-8833.

                                                        Sincerely,

                                                         /s/ Young Seo
