THE COURSE OF GORCEy

The motives, which induced Gen. Corpev to surrende,
his army and the Of Hungary into the hands of the
Russians form the subject of much conjecture in the latest
European journals Some attribute his conduct to wor
thy considerations such as his having relatives in the pub
he service OF Austria and his desiring to make favourable
terms tor his own security and Announcements but we can
Ind no just warrant for these imputations The Paris
PresSe, very confidently asserts that his resolution to sub
NIT was brought about the agency of private emssaries
sent by England to the Car and the Hungarian Gene
rails and that the bases of the capuaton were discussed
and agreed upon at Warsaw during the last visit OF Prince
0chwarzenDurg to that city. The objects, assigned BY
the Presse 10 the British Government are first to stop
farther troubles in Hungary in order that the market
which that country beginning afford NAV not be OH
structed and secondly check the increase Of Russian
ascendancy which the prolongaon of the war 1oud in
duee. LORD fameraons agents must have been snou-
larry as'ute their efforts prevailed procure from Ncbo
las Terms at once advantageous to Hungary and unta
vourable to the advancement of his own power If the
following information published by the same journal he
authentic 1t evinces the part of Gen Gorpev very
sufficient inducemen TO the course he adonted ,5b,

The editor of the N. Y Courier Des Etats Iyn;s
noticing the statement ofhe Presse that the conduct of
Norgey ls to be attributed to the influence of Enolsb
agents, seems to US to take more rational view Of the
matter 1t Is more probable" he SAYS "that the nm
oehce the personal interest," and the opinions of LARGE
party OF the Hungarian nation were the determining
causes Two parties existed in Hungary the one desired
absolute independence, the overthrow of the House Of
Hapsburg in Short arepubic; Kossuh was the chief of
abs party: the other, disposed be content with the es
adjustment OF the ancient rights and the ancient limited
independence OF Hungary; this party had Gorgey for its
Chief 80 long as Austria unwilling to entertain any
reasonable proposition, the two parties were united for
0old resistance, for to the last man. When tbo
ehaHee oil settlement presented itself in the midst of
the peflR which the Instruction encountered Goroay
