GERMAN PAPERS.

ODES A, OCT. 27.—The foreign ambassadors and
other diplomatic personages, who were at the head-
quarters, arrived here safe, after a great storm .at
sea, and are all gone to St. Petersburg!), except the
French Ambassador, the Duke de Mortemart, who
returns to Paris.

It is generally believed here that the campaign is
ended for the year, and that after the fall of Silistria,
which it is thought will shortly take place, the army
will go into winter quarters. This suspension of
arms will undoubtedly be- made use of by the cabi-
nets to impress on the Porte a sense of its situation,
and to induce it to concession, in order that the con-
test, which, in the end, must turn out to the injury
of the Turkish empire, may not be renewed next sum-
mer. That the sentiments of our august Monarch
have not for a moment varied, and notwithstanding
the success of the Russian arms, remain true to
the moderation which was expressed on the break-
ing out of the war, is proved by the manifesto
lately issued for a new levy of recruits, in which
his Majesty chews a sincere wish to see a speedy
end to the contest. Nobody can doubt that
these pacific sentiments of the Emperor must pro-
duce a happy effect, as soon as the Porte will listen
to the voice of reason and of the mediating Powers.
Hitherto 'this town has suffered little injury by the
war, as the supplies for the army, which are chiefly
furnished from our capital, make up for the loss
arising from the prohibition to export corn. The
houses which have had to furnish the supplies have
made large profits, and as the Government makes a
point of letting as many participate as possible, it may
be said that Odessa has had the most extensive busi-
ness at this time, and that all classes have gained.
The farmer, the mechanic, and the merchant, were,
and still are, constantly employed in providing for the
wants of the army. The continuation of the war,
and the concomitant interruption of all other com-
mercial intercourse may, however, prove in the
sequel extremely injurious to our port, as Alexandria
will offer in time a great market for all raw
production, and from the delicate nature of commer-
cial business, which must be constantly watched and
kept up, it is to be apprehended that if trade should
once be habitually directed to Egypt, we shall be
cut off from foreign connection, as we have but little
to -do with exchange of commodities. The general
wish, therefore, is for peace, and the momentary
gait: (lees not dispel the apprehensions inspired by a
prospect of the continuance of the wag.

CAPRiOLETS 4Np Ttif.ltt D4tvEßs.--A gentle-
man, who is steward to considerable estates in the
city of London, complained to the LORD MAYOR
that a most gross imposition had been practised upon
him by the driver of a cabriolet, who demanded and
received 4'0113 hilt the sum of 35,-6d. being his
fare. The complainant had taken out a summons
against the driver in order to have the matter settled
before the Lord Mayor, but the driver was no where
to be found. His Lordship then ordered that the
proprietor of the cabriolet should be summoned
before him, and 645 wt-,,s apperdingly dyne, and the
proprietor appeared to account for the conduct of
his servant.

The defendant said, that each of his cabriolets cost
him 3.50/. a year, and that the returns were not an
adeipat,e remuneration for the anxiety, risk, and
positive loss accompanying this sort of trade, ide
did not, he declared, know where to find the dri%;et,
who was of course conscious that he deserved punish•
ment. Nothing would give him .greater pleasure
thar; to sae punishment to the full extent inflicted;
but he did not know how a master ,could prevent
the offence of. which the driver was guilty, 'and he
therefore submitted that there was no ground for
4ndging a penalty.
The LORD M.Al(qa ;n passing judgment said, that
although he believed there was' no division Of the
spoil, and that the tiefendapt had nothing Whatever
to do with the moral offence, yet the legal guilt
certainly descended upon him inconsideration of the
public, who must be protected. The defendant was
then lined 205., and the complainant immediately
trmluittpd his moiety to the committee for the re-
lief of the perishing Spanish refugees,
