majesty the Gear:
Hungary is at the feet of your Imperi
al Majesty. The Government Of the In
surgents have transmitted their powers to
Gorgey, the chief of the army of Insur
Igents, who makes an unconditional surren
Ider to the Russian army. His example
will be followed by the other insurgen
corps. The officers whom he sent to ca.
pitulate, offered 20 proceed with or with.
out Austrian Commissioners to the several
corps to induce them to surrender.
Il have the fortune to inform your Ma
Ijesty, that Gorgey's only condition to his
surrender was, that he be allowed to lay
down his arms to your Majesty.
As for Gorgey l keep him at your I'M
perial Majesty's disposal.
PASKIEWITCH."
1t is reported by some of the ardent
friends of Hungary that Gorgey had prov
ed himself a traitor, and has yielded to the
golden arguments rather than to the arms
of the Russians.
Kossuth's wife and family, it is said
had fallen into the hands of the Imperial
lists troops.
More Light Upon the Extraordinary CapitulatiOn
Of Bem.- m.---KOSSulh.
The statements embodied in the fol-
lowing letters from KossuTH, i'll London
Times, dated Vienna, August 18th, 90 far
TO enlighten us as to the antecedent cir
cumstances which led to what yet we can
not but look upon as the inexplicably sud-
den defeat and disaster which have befal-
len the cause of Hungary. A series of
letters, written by KossUTH, had come to
light. They evidently were intended to be
kept in the Magyar camp, and by what
means they were published, we are not
informed, nor is it material to our present
purpose, which is to show, that it was in
great measure owing to the want of uni
on amongst the Hungarians themselves,
that the terrible catastrophe, already re-
corded IN our columns, came upon and
crushed them to the earth. But who does
not admire the eloquence and heroism of
KossUTH in his extremity, surrounded on
every side by difficulties, and difficulties of
every description, The letters alluded to
are addressed to Gen. BEN. Penn.
Kossuth's letters will not be published,
but | am enabled to give you some few
extracts from them, which are ofthe high
est interest, as they not only throw a con-
siderable light upon the reported dissen-
sions in the enemy's camp, but give
statement of the resources of the rebel
government. Towards the middle of July
Gen. Benz was TO have received the sum
of $4,000 fiorins in notes Of 80 and ID
kreutzers Is. Cd from Kossuth, but the
latter was only able to send him 125,OOO
fiorins in addition to the sum which he
had forwarded him from Szolnok on the
9th of the same month. Kossuth points
out to the Polish chief the difficulties of
his position, 1t being utterly impossible to
fabrlcate any notes for the moment, as il
requires ii days to pu: up the presses
which had been taken to pieces at Debrec-
Yin and Pesth.
81 do all that human being can," says
kossuth, "but asI am not the creator,
cannot make something out of nothing
For whole year no receipts, empty cof
ers when L took possession of them, and
war! At the present moment | have the
following troops to support: In Transyl-
vania, 10000; Upper Hungary and CO.
morn, 5000; Vetter, south army, $4,000;
Theiss army, 90 900; Peterwardien, 5000;
Kazintzy, 5000; Grosswardein, Arad,
Szegedin, &C., 10000; in all $4,000
men. Add to these Is reserve squadrons
of Hussars, infantry battalions in forma-
ton, 10000 sick, 10000 Landsturn, and
our prisoners, the powder mills, foundry,
gun, bayonet, and sabre factory, and the
whole civil administration to keep going,
and you will, Lieutenant General, confess
that the whole is no trife. And the bank
note presses have been at a stand still for
a whole fortnight"
kossuth also complains bitterly of the
want of harmony among the commanders
in the south, and particularly of Bauf,
who refuses to acknowledge Vet:er as his
commander, alleging that he (Bem) had
invested Perczef with the supreme COM
mand in the south. Gorgey's disobedence
is also alluded to, and Benz is ardently
prayed, if Hungary is to be saved, to come
at once with his army from Pennsylvania,
to take the command of all the armies
which were then under Messaros, with
Demblnsky as the chief of his staff. A
passage In one of the letters is of the ut
most importance, as it explains Kossuth's
intentions In regard to the Danubian prin-
cipalIties; 1.-Two emf grants, Bolesko and
Bollak; have offered a Wallachian legion.
Should you Benz making an inroad into
Wallachia, (which | should wish,) let this
legion form the advance guard, as it might
spread the report that we came as friends
and deliverers. In the proclamation it is
a point OF consequence 10 state that we
come as friends to the Turks and Walla-
