Commissioner Rutherford's decision. U, C. Brockj J-A-Mebaue, J. M.McGowan Ni M. Stevenson, J. C. Baumar, and D. M. Buie M Dv ; i sa; ' ' . Tiiib " Cuba" Again ! Promptly at noon j yesterday. Commissioner Rutherford ap- j neared m his seat, and delivered the follow- ! ing decision in this remarkable case : Thb United Stite vs. Tub OrncERs; or tub Stbambr "Cuba." In this case the de fendants, twentv-five iu number, are charged with a violation of the 3d section of the act of JODzress of April 20th, 1818, known as the tratittr Law. The charercs bcinff : "That did fit out. and arm. and did procure to b-&cd out and armed, within tae limits oi injwjmiea States, a certain ship or TeeseJCalled the "Cuba,'' ith intent that the said vessel shall he employed in the serf ice of the people of Cuba, to ert&e and commit hostilities against the peo ple of Spain, a country with which the united States is at peace." I have carefully reviewed the testimony giTen on the examination, aud considered the argu ments of counsel, as well as the cases cited iu support ot their positions, and am of the opin ion that but two acts are shown to have been committed, within the limits of the United States, from which an intent to violate the Neu trality 'Laws can be inferred. These were, First, The enlistment ot the witness, James Gor don Jr., byD. D. Monro, one of the defendants ; and with this act no one, but- the defendant Munro Is shown to have been connected. Second, The act of taking on hoard a cargo of coal from the schooner James Pedmorc, th testimony of all the witnesses unite in showing that this coal was taken on board the ''Cuba" while she'was lying in Long Island Sound,;insidt Montauk Point, and therefore clearly within the limits of the. United States, and though she were more than three miles from the Bhore. From all the evidence as to the position of the "Cuba" at the time he received tne arms, that she was more than a marine league from land, and without the jurisdiction of the United States liJ S?c" So ttatSeS?So d?L dants. v?ere merely passengers on the vessel, l 1 who had taken passage at a foreign port, and that others had joined her on the high seas. That these persons had exercised no .command and had no control over the.vessel or its crew, until after the arms had heen put ou hoard, and the coal shipped, and not until the "Cuba" was oh the high seas, and heyond the limits and ju risdiction of the United States. It is claimed by the defence, that as no proof has been oilered by the prosecution, that the United States i3 at peace with Spain, this being as they claim a material point; of the charge maie against them, that the Commissioners can not take judicial notice of the fact, and that the prosecution having failed to prove it as a fact, that the whole charge falls to the ground, with thib view of the case I cannot agree The public acts, treaties, Ac, made by the 5 United States, with foreign countries, arc judiciously noticed by the Courts ot the United States, and the lact that peace exists between the United States and Snain. is a public matter affecting the whole people and need not be proved. ; Much has been said by both the prosecution and the delenee upon the duties ol" a Commis sioner actinias a Committing Magistrate, the prosecution taking the ground, that it . wa3 the province of the Commissioner merely, to in quire into the matter, and ascertain, if the of fence charged had been committed, and if this fact appeared, it was then his duty to hold for trial any person or persons whom there was probable cause to believe had committed the offence. What would be. probable cause, must of course rest-entirely in the discretion of the ui-jotiK mm to the arreat anaovanpp ..n,f : r viuu. auu pense attending such proceedings, on slitrht evidence, which creates only a suspicion against the aeeuscd, and where it is evident that a iurv would not convict. J J The defendants Edward Hig-ms, Thomas L. Dormn, G. AV. Read, F. J. MeNulty E Valiento P Ingraham, G. W. DuBose, It. Somen II, S Cooke, A. Mason, Autonio Munoz, Wm! 11. Robinson, Stephen Karney, Joaquom Aiuiar, J ohn Mullay, and W. J; Faberty arc discharged. The defendants David A. Telfair, D. D. Mun r e, Nicholas Esling, R. H. Gibson. W. U. Phil lips, Louis French and John Lynch, will be re-quip-ed to gire good and sufficient bail in the suin of five hundred dollars each, far their ap pearance at the next term of thci District Court of the U lited States for the Cape Fear District of North Carolina, to be held at the United States Court Room in the city of Wilmington, ou Monday, the ilrst day of November, 1809; to auawer any indictment that may be found againt them, and in default of, finding bail as aforesaid, that the 6aid David A.

We cannot and thefore betake our self to WAltDS K. AND L. And here are several cases ot typhoid and billions fever ; though most all rapidly recovering. The unfortunates were seated chiefly ou their beds, quietly perusing the contents of several newspapers, and the scene indeed is one we never shall forget. With what resignation yonder sufferer with glassy eye, quivering lip, and pallid features looks up to us as we enter. Ah ! casual reader, might not a poor, distracted mother, away off in her needy, humble cot tage be praying now for the return ot i that J wasted frame ?
