How c.Or.cy Surrendered.


l.. kOSSUTH.
How. t.Or..cy Surrendered.
The London Times takes the following
view of the surrender of Gorgev:
The great victory of Gen. IIaynau al
the battle Of Temesvar. fought in the
neighborhood Of that city. on the 10th inst.
aud the submission Of Gen. Goreey at the
head Of his entire division. have appeared
70 give an abrupt termination 70 tn. str;is-
Gle; but III reality both these events were
the results To which the whole plan Of the
campaign obviously tended. From the
moment that the advance Of the main
body Of the Russians had secure! the
line Of the Upper Thesis, the comnuaica-
ton Of Gorgcy and the principal forces Of
the Magvars was obviously cut of. That
General manuE?crcd with great skill and
rapidity. 50 as to avoid general action
with a superior force; he harrasscI the
rear Of the Russian army. and made more
than one attempt TO cut his way - the
South
But although these operations ranged
over a considerable extent of country.
they could not end otherwise tIan they
have done. Gorgcy was acting without
any regular basis. and with no means Of
procuring supplies except those he took
from the enemy. The submission q H
corps was therefore inevitable We know
not how far political considerations may
have contributed 10 this result. Gorrey
was known - entertain opinions strongly
opposed to the revolutionary scheme Of
kossuth. and though no one has foagl.t
more gallantly than he has done for the
national cause. he is said 10 have retain
ed strong feeling of r gard for that en-
pire dthat army against which he found
himself almost casually arrayed. Mere
soldiers of fortune and foreigners like
Dcmbin>ki and Benz. were of course pre-
pared to fight to the last extremity. and the
instigators of the revolution. koSs uth
could have no hope but in resistance; but
the Military chiefs Of the Nagvars. Ike
GorGey. Klarka, and NcsSaros were CON
nec.ed with Austria by Very different ties.
and the time viii come when they Will
agrin serve in defence Of the Empire as
manfully ashley have done for their native
kingdom The probability is therefore
that. in surrendcriug at Villages. Gorgey
yielded not only to a necessity Of war. but
convic ton that the cause OF the Hun
garian revolution could no longer be de-
Tended without destruction to both the
contendin- parties.
The Surrender.
The Vienna journals of the 18Th ere
full Of details on the submission OF Gen
Gorgey. and tho correspondent of the
independence Of Brussels thus resumes
the theme:
"According to some journals Gorcev
was invested with the dictatorship. but
whether by kossuth or the Diet is not
stated. and he laid down his arms after
having sent orders to Weld. not oalv 10
the commanders of the different corps.
but also to the commanders Of the fortress
ses still occupied by the insurgents 1t
is added that. according to letter from
Semlin. Dembinski has laid down his arms
with 10000 men. According 10 another
version. GorGey. seeing that a prolonged
would be vain. summoned the
other commanders of the Magyar troops
and tortreSses TO Weld.
In 4 y. s. the correspondent writes:
81 learn this moment that Count Soltck
arrived last evening with dispatches from
Gen. Haynau for the Emperor If my
be correct. hossuth attempted
o enter into negotiations with Marshal
paskiewitch. but his overtureS were not
accepted; whereupon he made over all his
,ivil and military powers to Gorgey. The I
