THE CHESAPEAKE PIRATEs.-The Supreme
Court of Nova Scotia has reversed the decis-
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 Extradition 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 viii do in the case remains
to be seen.
The prisoners have been released upon the
grounds that there was no proper requisition
made for their rendition by the United States
authorities that the offense charged being
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 IN
der which they were arrested.
