OPINlONS OF EUROPEAN JOURNALS
ON THE WAR QUESTION.

| No sprcuaions f the American press or
this question are entitled to the same weight az
,husc from the journals of Europe. We are
rem tie fro the scene Of action, our interest Is
not immediate enough 10 induce a l-een attention
and more than al our nali mai habits of thoug h
are cx rem, " ssimil,r We cond nse from
The foreign summary of the ". Y Herald
Oae c,rres spondcnt Of the London papers says
that Il Russia really inten led war, her army II
the principaltes wou'd be 100, 600 stronger thar
it is"
Another remarks 6. The view which those
few persons whose judgment is still unbiased
take Of the present state of things may be TOLD
in few words Should the Russian cabinet
refuse TO consent to all the notifications deman
ded by the Porte--as is the case-Anstrla will
manage to induce the Russian cabinet to pro
pose alterations of so little real Importance tha
they will be accepted by the Turkish govern
mem
Yet an ,ther The only real fiicul'y in the
way Of continuing negotiations is the chance OF
collision between the two armies, but, fortu-
na.elv, the Danube runs between ,hen-a broad
enough guarantee Of peace
The Oest Deutsche Post writes thus &c Should
Turkey rem lin obs nate a must inevitably
ensue and should the Russian armies triumph,
the question of the East would be more compli-
Gated than ever The cabinets, certainly. have
not los: sight of his fact, and therefore the me-
gotiations VII not be broken OF, even if Russia
reject the Turkish adifcations."
The Paris Journal des Debats says that " the
British ambassador at Constantnope had been
instructed to demand that the Porte should
accent the Vienna note pure and simple "a
statement which the London Times cnphatically
contradicts
The DAILY .fe,ss, or the contrary, gives con-
siderable prominence to the statement of 9
De5ats, and uses it as the text of leading arr.
Gle. The heads of the De6ats statement are
that the English ambassador must insist on the
Sultan accepting the original form of the note !;
tha, if he will not do SO war will be at his own
risk; if he does accept, the British feet vii
put down any insurrection that may break out in
pear how far France is pledged to this line Of
policy.
The Paris Pays states that the French gov
ernment enterlains confident hope that the diff
ference between Russia and Turkey will be
arranged without recourse to arms. The Pdtris
adds that the new memorandum Of the Russian
cabinet s very moderate in tone--that the Car
is yet willing to accept the original note Of the
four powers, and will not, under any circum-
stances, comm nee hostilics.
1t will be observed that all these fanciers are
in favor of peace. From them all however no
satisfactory information can be gained, and the
question though more likely lately, to result in
war on account of public opinion in Turkey, is
in almost as much doubt as ever. Six weeks
more will pull up the curtains, and then we shall
see what we shall see.

BALTIMORE, June Is, 1853.
GRAIN.-The receipts and supply of Wheat arc
light, and sales small. We quote good to prime
req wheat at 100 a 81 05, and white Wheat at

on change this morning, most of which sold at SO
a "a cents for white, decline; and 81 SO cents
per bushel for yellow. Oats are dull, and prices
declining. We quote Virginia and MARYLAND at
IS 81 cents per bushel.
ToBAcco.-The receipts of Maryland Tobacco
from the lower counties have fallen off a little this
week, and the belief now begins to be generally
entertained that the crop of Maryland will be con-
slderably less than was anticipated Thus far the
number of hogsheads from the lower counties 70
less by about one fifth, while the weights are al
most uniformly twenty per cent. below the usual
average. These diminutions will affect the ouan-
| tity very materially. On the other hand. there
has been large increase in the receipts from the
upper counties, where the production has hitherto
been somewhat limited, owing to the fact that on
y newly cleared land would produce the qualities
OF Tobacco peculiar to this section. The use of
guano, and other similar fertilisers, operates IA
vorably on the land. and Tobacco of very excel
lent quality is produced freely. The increased
production In the upper counties will not however,
compensate for the deficiency in the lower ones
Inc demand, owing probably to the apprehended
falling Off, has been very active this week, and the

THE BRITISH FLEET AND THE DARDA-
NELLEs.-The cautious manner in which
the Earl of Clarendon and Lord John Russell
recently replied 10 inlerrogatores addressed
to them by the Earl Of Hardwicke and Mr.
D'lsraeli, indicates that the Turkish cues
ton had, at the last dates, assumed very
serious aspect. The Earl of Hardwicke ask
ed whether any orders had been given to
ADMIRAL Dlndas to advance the Baiiiuhaeee
10 the DartlanelIes. The Earl ofEIarendor
one Of the Ministers, in reply "declined tic
give any explanations on matter IN which
they were imperIec,ly informed )" while
Lord John Russell, in answer to smila
question pu. by Mr.. D'Israeli, empha'ically
said -
SIN the present state Of relations between
Russia and Turkey, feel that anything
which NAV be said here will be considered
as of the utmost importance, and ] must

The tolls Of the harves. field require to be
well fed, and kept constantly supplied with
some refreshing beverage. And while speak
ing upon this head we will repea, the COM
position Of the drink we had occasion to
recommend las! year: Five gallons Of cool
water, half gallon of molasses, and four
ounces of ginger, will make grateful, re-
freshing and safe drink, no matter how cool
j, may be when taken.
The personal attention Of the master in
the field during harvest, is, as We have often
had occasion 10 remark, absolutely essential,
whether good order or faithful work be
considered.
The hands should be early in the field in
the morning, bu. given blowing time a,
dinner, and kept late a, work in the even
ing. Talking should be discountenanced,
and singing encouraged. The frs, exci.es

Time Of Harvesting,-Wheat should al
ways be harvested before i. is dead ripe

come arid three or four inches below the
