THE MExIAf PRIZE STEAMERS Decision

Judge Calebrssiding, has ordered the release
OF the MiraDu and Marquese steamersA The
Judge held Iat the capture was illegal, and

that ghen attssked, these vessels We're at an =
| chor " thin mile and a half OF the main

| the Mexican WI, having, indeed. recognize
| the JuareZ Gvernment; but the opposing
| Goprnment nd been recognized by the other
gIer maritime pwers, ana the United States
| veg bound in ood faith to do no act having
| the sem blance interfering in favor of one
| or the other of be parties claiming the gov
erinient, and aging civil war tor the as

| The Judge aTues that the grounds of sus-
| melon against the vessel for not showing
| tieir flags in rely to a gun from The Castle Of
| San Juan de Hna, Were insufficient for the
action of the AieTican commander, because it
| was the act of de party towards its public
| enemy, and can OF be construed into an insult
| To neutrals i'll the harbor. He argues, too,
! from the testimny, that the Americans knew
perfectly well hat vessels these Were, and
| had been on tn look out for them.
| The proclamation OF the Juarez Cover n
| ment, declarip CHEM pirates, Judge McCaleh
| dismisses from onsideration as jus fication
of the attack. he declaration OF one bellige-
| rent against aother, or the aiders OF the
| other, would nt1nake the latter pira es, and
| exp pose them to escaPtured hy neutrals.
He further otscts, that il the JuareZ decree
| made il the dug OF our officers TO ascertain
| the true characsr of these vessels, the manner
| of performing nat duty was imprudent ana
| irregular, and 1as the cause of the conflict
! The proper wys to approach them would
have been to z In open day, with flags dis.

usual among pE,hc vessels. Capt. Turner a:
the Court aver. chose the night time, dis

manner TO give aam cause to believe that they
were TO be assajHed by an enemy from thu
! city, and thus bs,ame res ponsible for havinl
