THE BLACK WARRIOR CASE AGAIN.

The New Orleans Crescent, after copying the documents recently laid before the world by the Cuban authorities, says:

We consider these documents as clearly establishing the following points:

1. That the seizure and confiscation of the Black Warrior were, under the port regulations of Havana, legal and just.

2. That Captain Bulloch, his consignees Tyng and Co. and our consul, admit the fact that it was legal.

3. That they only in reality, contended, that they should be let off, first because they were ignorant of the law and language; 2d, because they had done so before; 3d, because it was not intentional fraud.

The Spaniard replies, "It is your business to know our regulations so that you might comply with them. No laws are guided by men's intentions. We can only consider their acts."

4. That the British steamers have always submitted to precisely what was required of the Black Warrior.

5. That while the language and the statements of Bulloch, Tyng, and "our consul" have been violent and denunciatory, they have been holding to the Cuban authorities only the language of apology and supplication. Thus they were at once encouraging the Spaniard to persist in his course, and exciting our government and people to make war upon him for that course.

6. That the owners, by submitting to take back their ship and cargo, confessed that they had done wrong in abandoning them.

7. That they have since still further given up their whole case, by a fact now brought to light: that they have addressed a petition to the Queen, supplicating her to remit, as of her grace, the fine of $6,000 imposed on them.

So far, after this, we cannot see that there is left a single vestige of this case.
