LoNpoN, Oct 9.-Advices from Christiana.
Norway. say that matters there are assuming
an alarming appearance. The people are
every day becoming more irrItated against
Sweden and determined to assert complete
separation from that country The sentiment
in favor Of making Norway a republic Is not
founded on agitation among the lower classes
but is widely entertained by the wealthy
residents OF Norway. These are extremely
democratic. as a rule. both in their ideas end
manners o. living. and they are tired even of
the comparatively democratic king-craft of
the present reigning family of Sweden and
Norway. The Swedes have already resolved
TO keep Norway by force of arms if neces-
sary, and considerable body of troops is
ready to enter Norway at any time.
