SMITHFIELD MARKET, Juxx 3.
The market was not so well supplied this morning with Oxen
as on former markets, but in Lamb and Mutton there was a
large supply, but, owing to the warm weather, the trade was
dull, and the different prices of meat were rather lower than
last market day.

ILA7RACTS FROM Till?. D tILY MORNING PAPERS,

June 3, 18'22.

[NEW 'rimEs.]
Ad-vices from St. Petersburg, to the 6th ult.
-were received on Sata,ray. They are wholly of
a pacific tenor. The Emperor Alexander was
expected soon to leave the capital, but not to
put himself at the head of his armies, as has been
repeatedly announced by all the self-styled
liberal papers on the Continent. It is rather ex-
traordinary, that the fabrications of those papers
should be so blindly swallowed as they are by
many English journalists. The Constitutionnel,
svhich is the Old Times of France, may naturally
be expected to be quoted by its prototype in
England ; but that the Courier should so often
appeal to it as an authority for the affairs of
Europe in general, and of France in particular,
is, to say the least of it, very inconsistent.—The
business of the Constitutionnel is to spread alarms,
to represent the Government of its own country
as weak and inefficient, and the tranquillity of
Europe as threatened with speedy violation. By
these means it hopes at once to intimidate the
lukewarm friends of the present French Mi-
nisters, and to encourage all those turbulent
spirits whose hopes are fixed on war as a step
towards Revolution. But it. is not from sources
such as these that we can reasonably expect to
derive sound information as to the state of con-
tinental politics. We must look to the obvious
interests of the great Powers, to the good un-
derstanding which has so long subsisted between
them, and to the personal character of the
Emperor of Russia, for a solution of what-
ever may appear in any degree doubtful or
obscure in the measures at present carrying
on. Tried by these tests, the Russian Loan,
recently contracted, is so fa-: from • affording
any inference of the approach of hostilities, that
we think it may be regarded as the certain indi-
cation of a pacific policy. The parties with
whom it has been contracted possess the best
means of information, not only as to the inten-
tions of the Emperor Alexander, but of the
other European Powers ; and unless they had
been fully satisfied that a pacific policy was ge-
nerally prevalent, they would certainly not
have taken the loan on terms so favourable to
the borrower. The war price of a Russian
loan would doubtless have been much higher ;
and the sum necessary for embarking in a war
likely to spread throughout Europe must haVe
been much larger than that raised in the present
instance. It is understood, however, that these
matters have not been left to mere conjecture ;
but that full ex planations,have been given, on the
part of the Russian Government, to the Con-
tractors, as to the financial purposes to which the
loan is meant to be applied, and which are en-
tirely of a pacific nature.

[THE" TIMES.]
We have received the Paris papers of Thursday
last :'they contain no news of importance. The
Jour. wades Debuts publishes an extract of a letter,
dated Vienna, May 22, which states, in contradic-
tion to theArtsfrian Observer news, published by us
on Friday,that a Cout:ier had arrived in that capital
with intelligence of the invasion of Moldavia by the
Russians. As the French Journalist adds, in a
note, that he cannot vouch for the authenticity of
the statement, so neither can we. More than
one of the Paris papers mention the dismissal of
Count Mole,_ of the Marquis Dessolles, and of
Barons Jaucourt and d'Albert, from their ap-
pointments as Ministers of State. It will be re-
collected that the two former Noblemen were
MeMb.ers of the late Cabinet, and that the latter
held places in their Administration. The ap—
pointment of Minister of State is generally con-
ferred- on a retiring Administration, "as a re-
ward " (to use a phrase of our place-bill) " for
high and efficient public service." What these
Noblemen have done to forfeit this reward for
high and efficient public service, we are hot in-,
formed. Perhaps they did not evince a becom-
ing gratitude to their successors—the present dis-
pensers of places, emoluments, and honours, for
the favour of being relieved from the toils and
responsibility of office, and exerted themselves in
the late elections to promote the return rather of
the Liberal than the Ministerial candidates.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
England now holds a most extraordinary po,
sition among the nations of the earth.
capital is the seat of their" financial operations.-
The Governments of the New World and the
Old come to the London market for money and
loans.
.I,ast week the Russian Minister con-
tracted for' a loan to his Government with Mr.
Rothschild, and another was effected on behalf
of the new Republic of Chili. The former is for
;50030001. the latter for 1 000 0001.

[MORNING. HERALD.]
We received Friday's Paris Papers, at a very
late hour last night by express. They leave the
que.tlon- of war between the Turks and, Russians
in a'state of provoking uncertainty—containing
only reasonings upon the intelligence already re-
ceived, without-any fresh advises. -As far as we
• can collect it, the state of the question is this.—
Accounts from Odessa state that the Divan has re-
peated its promise of evacuating Moldavia and
Wallachia on the restoration of tranquillity. The
Ansirian Observer says that the Divan has con.
sented to withdraw the Turkish troops forthwith,
and that these bad actually commenced their de-
parture. -Thethird•and most recent version, con-
tained in the Journal de Paris, and Journal des
Debatic in. the form of private letters, stating the
same thingsubstantially, but in somewhat different
language, is, that the Turks are, in •point of fact,
leaving' Moldavia, not pacifically, but in full re-
treat, destroying all before-them, and followed by
the Russians, who had passed the frontierand in-
va:ded the Turkish territory. Such is the positicln
of affairs, as represented in the foreign Journals.
We shall venture no judgment upon propositions
so uncertain and contradictory.—We have Spanish
news by the Paris Mail to the 212c1 ult. In the
tortes some very severe enactments, little short
