Case of Ruiz and Montez at the suit of the Abolitionists.—Judge Inglis has made an order in this case requiring the plaintiffs or their Attorney to show cause before said Judge at his chambers, at 11 o'clock in the morning on the 21st instant, why Ruiz and Montez should not be discharged out of the custody of the sheriff. We understand some curious affidavits will then be read, showing the conduct of Lewis Tappan on the occasion of the arrest of these gentlemen. John B. Purroy has been retained, and appears for the defendants.

These Spanish gentlemen suffered every privation at sea, nearly lost their lives, have been robbed of half their fortune, and by way of a climax are now deprived of their liberty. Are not the abolitionists contented with the possession of their amiable prerogatives but want to ruin these unoffending strangers into the bargain?

By reference to the letter of our New Haven correspondent, it will be seen that the arrest of the Spaniards is a ruse to prevent them from proceeding to Havana to procure evidence of their right to the negroes. Our Judges have thus far, unconsciously, lent themselves to a most base fraud and villainous procedure, under color of law, and if some relief is not afforded, the object of the abolitionist will be fully gratified even though they never proceed to the trial of these fictitious actions of assault and battery.
