Mcl.eod, it is said, is anxious lo goto a jury forthwith ; should he determine upon this course, the application for a writ of eiror on the judgment of the Supremo Couit, as intended by his counsel, will, of course, bo abandoned."

We avail ourselves of the following synepsisof the case, from the New Ymk Evening Post: Judge Cowan, after Muting that the prisoner was charged with the murder of Amos Durfee, proocds to discuss the propiiety of discharging him on the facts tuted in his nfli.!vit. The points laid down by the learnid judge, us wo gather them from a hasty perusil, are 1. That the point raised by the prisoner, first, that he did not participate in the alleged (ill", lire, and Fccond, that, if present, ln?a acting in do fence of his country from a ticatouabln insurieclioii, cannot be made available in a Halic is Corpus, een for letting him to bail, much less for ordering his tir.ijoalifieil discharge. 2. That on Habeas Corpu?, the examination as to cuill or innocence cannot, under ai y circom Manet, extend b'-yond the depositions or proof by which the prisoner is committed. 3. That these view are a sufficient answer to the prerent application, but as counsel haJ ra'ned the question of jurisdiction, the couit were willing to go into it. 4. That the plea that this is a national question, to be settled by the diplomatic powers of tho United States and England, does not divest the court of jurisdiction, because to warrant tho destruction of proper'y or the taking of the pround of pubic wir, there must be what is called latv'ful wsr.by the law of nationo, which can never exist without a concur rence of the war-mukiug power. 5. That il the affiir in question can Se torturid into war between this nation and England, the United Siatei might take possesion of Mcl.eod as a prisoner of war, C. That the order, under which Mcl.eod and his associates acted was not a lawful net of iiujety, as contended for by Mr. Fox since tho traduction was then lawful ub initio and requited no royal recoguiton, which is not pretended on r'tlhtr side. J 7. That regarding Durfee, as the enemy of Dug laud, who had taken shelter on the neutral territory of the United States, she had uo right, on any pre tence, to purbuo him beyond her oah limits, with out violating the rights of a neutral nation. 8. That the transactions in which Mcl.eod was engaged is not to be justified on the ground of sc f defence and necessity, as no such necessity can Im proved lo have existed, the Caroline not being in the act of making an assault np.in Canada, nor in a condition to muko one.
