The fall of Hungary can only be traced to the following three circumstances:—­1st.  That it was not believed that European diplomacy would allow Russian intervention. 2d.  That our plan of warfare, directed by the council of war, and not by Kossuth, wanted that concentration which could alone have ensured success. 3d.  That the character of Goergei, whom our generals never accused of treacherous designs, was a mystery:  nay, the patriotic General Perczel, who proclaimed loudly Goergei’s treachery from the very beginning, had the satisfaction to be laughed at and hooted down.  To impute these disastrous circumstances to Kossuth alone, is to render one’s self guilty of the greatest perversion of generally acknowledged and incontrovertible facts.

A HUNGARIAN EXILE.
