DcRome was tried on Thursday, the jury remained out until Friday morning, but being unable to agree, were discharged by the court, and the case continued.

Approved Jan 6. 1823. WILLIAM HENDRICKS. That the subject may come fairly be tore the public, we insert the following article of the constitution of the slate of Indiana. Our reasons for voting against a convention, if we vote at all, will be given hereafter. Indiana Gazette. Constitution tf Indiana. AR l U.LL VIII. Every tweitih year after this constitution shall have taken effect, at the general election held lor governor . there shall be a poll opened, in which the qualified electors ol the state, &hal express, by ole, whether they are in favor of calling a convention or not; and if there should be a majoiity ot ail the votes given at such election, in favor ot a conven tion, the governor shall inform the next

it in tneir power 10 revise, amend, or : change the constitution But, as the hol- ' ding any-, part of the human cication in i slavery, or involuntary servitude, can on- . ly otiginate in usurpation and tyranny no ! alteration of this constitution snail ever

take place so as to inlioduce slavery or involuntary servitude in this state, otherwise than frthe punishment of crimes, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted. We are informed that a gentleman in town received a letter trom Maysville a few days ago, informing him, thai the Banks of North Carolina and Georgia, have stopped specie payments. Lrx. Pub. Adv. A report prevailed at Nassau, N. P. on the 26th Jan. that a vessel had been spoken at sea by a ship of war an iv ed at one of tnc windward islands, in 23 days from England whoieported that war had been declared between France and Spain. We think it piobablc, that the above report from Nassau, and the following account extracted from the Kentucky Reporter, aie from the same source." 1 M PORTA N P FOREIGN NEWS. We ate indebted to a note from Gen M. D Hardin on his way home from Washington t ity. dated, Sunday morning, 22d inst. at Paris, for the following very important information. News by a late arrival from Europe

i cached Washington on the night of the 1 3th inst. ol the almost cntite certainty of WAR BETWEEN FRANCE and SPAIN. The official correspondence of the Ministers of France, Russia, Prussia, and Aus(ria on leaving Mudtid has been published; also a Circular from the Allied powers to their Alinistcis at Foreign Courts, giving their reasons tot interfering with the affairs ot Spain They are similar to those assigned by Austria for the invasion of Naples. No declaration of war has been made, but the King of France in his Message at the opening of the French legislative Chambers says, he has ordered 100,000 trocfis to march into Sfiain to restore a descendant of Henry the IV. to his rights. The Duke D'Angoleme is appointed to command this army. General Hardin left Washington on the 15th and Baltimore on the 16th. He states that the price of Flour in our sea ports, from New-York to Washington, had risen in consequence, of this intelligence, from one to two dollars per bbl. It would appear almost impossible for Spain to resist such a combination against her liberties. But she arms in a good cause; the sympathies of a powerful party in all the nations of Europe, the h lends of freedom throughout he oild, are on her side The genius of Napoleon no longer directs the armies ol the invadets, ami it is yet uncertain woat pan in this bloody drama, the Demon of Mischief Gteat Biitain intends to act Her interest is agaiwst this unhallowed crusade WithArr ai l Spain will maintain a glorious struggle. Ibid. ITEMS. Singular. A stick of logwood was split open a few days since, at the shop of Messrs Johnston and Shephard, in the town of Bridjfeton (West New Jersey,) in the hcait of which was found a honeycomb, fifteen inches long, containing honey of an excellent flavor, and in a perfect state of preservation; the comb was closely enveloped on all sides with solid timber. How many years have passed since the honey was thus deposited, it is impossible now to discover It is said there are no Bees in South America; and it is proposed to export hives of tl. em thither. It is added, that bees were introduced at Cuba in this manner some vcars since.
