Tienna, Oct l6.-The demand OF the
United Sta,es, relative to the passage
Of American vessels through the Oar
danelles and the Bosphorus, seems long
to have engaged the attention Of the
Divan. II is affirmed that the result
Of the deliberations has been the refu-
sal Of the demand. The motives of
this refusal are not known, but what
seems 10 have been the chief motive Of
the Diyan for taking this resolution, is
the rejection Of similar applications
made by other Powers, so that the
Porte would act with great Inconsistent
CIV ifit now granted to the Y States
whacit refused to Denmark and Swe-
den.
Some uneasiness is felt at Constan-
tinoDle, respecting the future inten-
tions Of Commodore Rogers, the COM
mander Chief Of the American squad
ron in the Archipelago 1t seems that
while he was at Smyrna, he intima.ed
that The United States would consider
the refusal Of their demand, as proof
Of a hostile disposition on the part Of
the Porte towards the American flag
il is feared therefore, that the Ameri-
Car squadron may join the Greeks.
These fears, however seem unfounded,
for the American commander has CTR
tainly no instructions to begin awar
with the Turks, and by joining the
Greeks to attack either the Captain
Pacha or the Egyptian squadron, he
would commit an act of hostility which
would place him under very serious
responsibility. He must, at least, firs'
send report to Washington and W ail
for the answer; mean time the present
campaign will be over
The Porte shews likewise some un
easiness at the arrival OF the Emperor
Alexander, on the coast of the Black
Sea, and at the grand review which ne
viii make of all the corps Of his troops
stationed in the adjacent provinces
1t is affirmed that confidential expiana-
tons have been asked of Nj de MIMI
acy, who lost no time in dispelling the
alarms that might have been felt, but
these explanations have not produced
the effect that was expected from
them.
THE MARQUIS WELLESLEY.
On Saturday, his excellency the
Lord Lieutenant removed from Mala-
hide Castle to his permanent residence
at the Vice-Regal Lodge, Phoenix
Park. The day for the celebration Of
his Excellency's approaching nuptials,
which have excited so much interest
amongst all classes in Dublin, is not
yet appointed, as it will depend upon
the arri, al Of his Excellency's noble
brothers, the Duke Of Wellington and
Lord marlborough, who are expected
about Wednesday; but at all events il
is understood thai the ceremony will
not be deferred beyond Saturday next.

Archbishop, and afterwards by the Ca

messenger arrived at Malahide Castle

to the Lord Lieutenant, highly compli-

lady, in addition to her property in the
British funds, has claims upon the Bri-
fish and American governments to an
equal amount, besides considerable
landed property in America. She is

When the late Marquis of Buckingham
administered the government Of this
country, the Marchioness, who was the
only daughter and heiress of the great
Earl Of Clare, and strict Catholic,
