gives an interesting explanation OF the various res gesfo
which constituted the last act of the Hungarian drama
ACCORDING to the latest advces have received it is
more than probable that at the very convocaon of the
hungarian Diet at Arad two parties were formed both
among the Deputies and among the Generals of the army
One OF these IN view OF the immense excess of force on
the part OF the Imperial Allies, the decided reverses in
lransyyania and the desperate condition of the Southern
army, which, with the exception of the single corps of
Vecsey Tell into state of dissolution after The battle of
lemesvar'-was IN layor OF putting end to a
as useless as II was destructive. The other party view
OF the still numerous masses which stood ready support
tne war, IN view OF the strong points of Comorn, Peter
warden and Arad the uitessless of all negotiations the
certain destruction OF many brave officers and gene
rails, and finally in view OF the hitherto glorious war
winch II would be unworthy to close by capitulaon-
desired the continuance OF hostiies whether for life or
DEATH AT the head OF the first party Gorgey who fila
then fought resouely and successfully but who aer,o

non OF the Southern army lie was supported BY the Fl
nance Minister Duschek, the Minister Csanyi some fftv
deputies and the Generals Pottenburg Leutscey Leinn

neutral and declared that as he had always considered
his duty to submit to the majority he YVES ready TO do so
now On the 18th, as the majority decided in favor of
giving Gorgey the dictatorship he resigned his power into
ms country as simple citizen. He went to Orsowa
rom a letter which he wrote to BEN the 14h day
when he was still Ignorant of Gorgeys capituation we
take the following memorable words:
For me, Herr Field Marshal war is not the end but
e means OF Sc, serving my country II have means Of
te war lor the sake OF war" At that time Kossuth still
had had ab geam Of hope Although he himself Benz
the exception of that Of Vecsey were in state of d s
luton he still asks BEN send couriers to Comom and
feerwarden in order that those ortresses should hold
llrin ana TO nominate Committee of Deputies to deibe-
rate on further for only the SOVEREIGN mower can

But it was already too late Arad, on which Kossuth
placed so great hopes had capuaed the very day that
