gey, almost Immediately after his appointment as
Dictator OF Hungary, surrendered his army to the
Russians at Villages and brought the Hungarian War
to close, remains covered with an impenetrabe
ven. The motives by which Gorgey was promped
nave been subjected to the most various nterpreta-
tons; from the assertion of the friends of Kossuth.
that the brave General seduced to treacheiy by
RUSSIAN gold, TO the remark ''that his good genius
had brought him back from high treason to LOYALTY -
