following is the copy OF the terms in which
the request was coached
"If pure intentions, loyal life, and tran
quill resignation under every change Of for
tune, have been hitherto my comfort, they
now constitute my hope that my humble
request of naturalization, Us u Norwegian

The Courier OF the Goth April states, that
after the distribution of his maiesty's annual
bounty yesterday, it being customary for the
Lord High Almoner to present each person
with small silver coin, such was the eager
wish to obtain it, that several Ladies and
Gentlemen bought it of the poor persons for

The most important Intelligence furnished
by this arrival, is from the Turkish Empire
and its dependencies. The instruction of
Moldavia and Wal!achia, has assumed for
midable appearance. tits said that nearly
$4,000 Greeks have enrolled themselves I'M
der the banners of Ypsilanti.
There is no account, entitled TO credit, of
there having been any serious engagement
between the Greeks and Turks although Il
story was in circulation that the former had
taken the Castle of Giorgoon, situated be-
tween Bucharest and the Danube, and gar-
risoned by 5000 Turlaj.
The feelings of the Emperor OF Russia,
contrary Ia what might reasonably have
been expected, unless indeed lie intends III
timateiy to make conquest Of tins country

OF The Russian officers, engaged in The insur-
rection, have been dismissed from the Rus
sian service. The London Morning Chrou
icle affects TO believe that Alexandcr's public
professions and private views are different
and states in support OF this position, that
passports were readily given by the Russian
Authorities TO numerous individuals who re-
paired IN arms to Jassy. On the other hand,
the London Courier, which is much Inorc
likely 10 be iii the secrets of the cabinets,
says, that " ii Prince Yfsilanti can maintain
himself for short time even, against, the
Ottoman arns,Witi any apparent strength of
adherents and OF resources, the insurrection
will spread but ii can Terminate only in y
useless waste of human life. Should the
Turkish government be too weak to ouell the
rebellion, Austria and Russia are at hand, Ia
end the struggle. They will not be likely to
permit the establishment of am independent
Greek enpire,and any question of protection
ny either OF these powers, would involve
formidable difficulties rs connected with the
political relations of Europe"
