THE WESTERN SUN.

riXCF.AWFS, July 12, 1823. The Circuit court fjr the county o Knox, finished their spring session on "Wednesday of last week. The criminal docket was large, and occupied a considerable poition of the bu

siness transacted Among tuc causes, was the Slate s. Mary Ann Christina De Rome, for the murder of George Hickman our readets will probably recollect, that her husband was tried at the preceding term, for the same crime, and sentenced for one year to the penitentiary, and the trial of Mrs. De Rome was continued in consequence of the jury not being able to agree at that time. Her trial came on again at this term, and the jury after being out for some time, returned with a verdict of not guilty. The question, as far as we have been able to understand it, arose in regard to her criminality as a principal in the second degree, as aiding and abetting her busband in the murder of Hickman. The civil docket was not as large as usual, and there were no causes in that docket, with the exception of an action for elandcr, of any great importance, which Vere tried. We understand that there are but about 20 continuances and should the couit dispose of business with the same

dispatch as they have hitherto done, and

ted States. If they come here they will r

get commissions without any difficulty, the grand object being to do the French all the mischief possible. "It is reported, and I believe correctly that Cadiz will shortly be put under martial law, to be prepared for the worst, ana that a Governor will be appointed who will unite in his own person the civil and military authority. If he be a man ol

nerve, he will do much good.

DECLARATION OF WAR. Seville Gazette, April 26. The Spanish King has issued the following decree: Whereas the Spanish territory has been invaded by the troops of the French government, without a previous declara lion of war, or any of those formalities established by custom; and whereas that act of aggression cannot be considered in any other light than as a violation of the Law of Nations, and an open rupture ot hostilities against Spain, it becomes my duty, therefore, to repel force by force,

to defend the integrity of the states of

the monarchy, and chastise the audacity of its enemies: Now, after having consulted the Council of State, agreeably to the 236th article of the political constitution, I DO DLCLARL WAR A GAINST FRANCE, and the same is hereby declared, and in consequence whereof I order and command the competent authorities to commit hostilities unon her both bv 9ea and land, to annov

for which the thanks of the community j ncr DV everv act of agression in their

are due to them, in this "piping time of; poWer. and authorized by the law of na-

harvest." the next term will not contin-

ue more than a week. Genl. Jlr. Johnston, has requested us to state, in answer to the queries published some weeks since in our paper to the candidates for the Legislature, that he is decidedly in favor of districting the state, and that for President, he is in favor of Jfenru Clay, and should he decline, An

drew Jackson, would be his choice. We are desired to say that John Heed Will serve the citizens of Knox as Recorder, if elected. We are desired to say that Frederick

' Jlf.ihl will serve as Director of the Poor's Jljuse, If elected. We are desired to say that Joshua Thirn will serve as County Commission' er, if elected. DECLARATION OF WAR BY SPAIN. New York, June 16 The Spanish letter-of-marque ship Tarantula, arrived here yesterday, in 41 days from Cadiz. We learn that she sailed on the 5H of M.iy-tluta formal DECLARATION OF W R against France had been published; that the Spanish privateers were fitting out with all expedition and that one French merchant vessel had been captured off Algesiras previous to the saiing of this vessel.

Mr. Stout In answer to the queries put in your paper a week or two since to

the candidates for the Legislature, I am

induced to reply in consequence ot und

been used in relation to the ensuing elec

the report that I was unfriendly to any o ther mode of choosing electors for pre sident than by a joint ballott of both hou

scs of the Legislature, and also, that I

was a partisan of John Q. Adams, and warmly interesting myself in his election That both of these charges ore false, you yourself know, as I have probably conversed more with you upon both these sub jects than with any other individual in the country my views upon the subject of the next president have been fully and frequently stated, and though I conceive they have nothing to do vith the present election of members to the Legislature,
