Multi-vortex solutions of the Ginzburg--Landau equations (or, equivalently, of the Abelian Higgs model) are considered for a special choice of parameters. It is shown that for every n there is a 2n - parameter family of n-vortex solutions. It is conjectured that the parameters are just those needed to specify the positions of the vortices and that the vortices behave very much like noninteracting particles. 17 references.
