! THE CHESAPEAKE PIRATEs.-The Supreme
Court of Nova Scotia has reversed the deeis-
sion of the Justice who declared the captors
of the steamer Chesapeake to be pirates, and
| ordered their rendition to the United States
| authorities under the Extradtion treaty. 4
writ of habeas corpus was granted, and they
have been released. As we mentioned re-
GENTLY United States revenue cutter had
gone to Halifax to get the criminals. What
our Government will do in the case remains
to be seen.
The prisoners have been released upon the
grounds that there was no proper requistion
made for their rendition by the United States
piracy, and the parties not having been in
the United States after the committal Of the
crime alleged, are not guilty of such an Of
Tense, under the treaty, within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States, as would entitle the
United States Government to require their
being delivered up, and other merely techni-
cal reasons concerning the legal process un-
der which they were arrested.
Us Col. FRANK WoLFoRD, in a speech at
Lexington, KY, on Thursday last, accepting a
sword presented by the loyal citizens, de-
nounced the President as usurper and tyrant
and advised Kentucky to forcibly resist the
drafting of negroes, if necessary. The Chi
cago Times is in great glee over the affair
and says it is the initiatory step of new
Kentucky policy in which Gov BRAMLETTl
, will cooperate. We shall see. Gov. BRAN
LETTE, notwithstanding his violent pro-slaver,
notions and hostility to the Administration
has thus far indicated by his actions genuine
attachment to the Union, and no sympath,
with the treasonous aims of the Copperheads

PRoPosIT1oN-The basis of the conference
proposed by England on the Germano-Danist
quarrel is as follows: 1st. The European
Powers guarantee the autonomy as well as the
indivisibility of the Duohies. ID. The terri
toriaI arrangements hitherto existing are tc
undergo no change. Austria and Prussia
have adhered, in principle, to the proposal
provided, however, that the German Diet and
France also assent to, and that negotiations
should not interfere with the prosecution Of
hostilites.
