for the meeting of the American Board, at Pttsied,
applied to the Shakers at their settlement near that

they would ceerfully entertain eighteen; but if men

Explanation of the last Operations of
the EEungarianS.

According to the last advices received BY the Aus
trian National Zetung it is more than probable that
at the very convocation of the Hungarian Diet at
Arad two parties were formed. both among the Dep
uties and among the Generals of the army. One of
these in view Of the immense of force on the
part of the imperial allies, the decided in
Pennsylvania and the desperate condition Of the
southern army, which, with the exception of the sim
gle corps of Veesey, fell into state Of dissolution
after the battle of Temesvar-was in favor OF putting
on end TO a war now useless as it destructive.
The other party in view Of the still numerous mass
es which stood ready to support the war, in view of
the strong points Of Comorn, Peterwardein and Arad
the fruiiessness of oil negotiations. the certain de-
siruction of so many brave officers and Generals, and
finally in view of the hitherto glorious war,
which il would be unworthy to close by capiu aton,
desired the continuance of hostilites whether for
life or DEATH At the head of the first party was
Georgey wbo till then, fought resoutely and
cessfuy, but who 10 have lost all hope at the
sight Of the melancholy condition Of the southern
army. He was supported by the Fiaance Minister
Duschek, the Minister Csany, some fifty deputies and
the Generals Pottenourg, Leuscey, Leingen and 9TH
ers. At the head of the second party the very
decided Ministers, Szemere and Bakowe, and beside
the Polish Generals BEN, Dembnski, Zomolski, Viz
nozki and Vizonarowski, and the commander Of the
Italian legion, Mont, the Generals Guyon, Veter
