intent. therefore, these hopes Oar be realised; but.
as there is no good harblastesso stkeigable river neater
than the Dneister, and the country round is a ..;•mfect

the founders will meet with the success anticipated.
7%, Thtpopulation, including the garrison, whichis not
. 'ihis-linniellfes, may spawn to about 35,090, but of so mixed
• .nature, that fdesia may be considered more as a
colony of foreigners than a town of native Russians.
Italians and Greeks ale very numerous; the latter, in
.'• particular, have great influence, and are very rich. In
general, the houses are built.and decorated in the Italian
style; but, the Aaglo ntania prevails in the mansions
of the great—for though this commercial place cannot
a. yet beast of a resident aristocracy, yet as the Empe-
- • ' rot occasionally resides here, a portion of the Court
• follows as I matter of course.
The palate is just completed; it is a handsome edi.
bee. entirely in character with the architecture of the
vicinity, and is built on an eminence, commanding a
most extensive view of the bay and shipping. On the
brow et the adjoining cliff is a screen of double columns,
of the lonic order, forming a segment of a circle ; this
is a fine object when viewed from the sea. The ensbelH
lisltments of the palace ate entirely in the English style x
' the furniture is the work of native artists) and eze.
cuted with an elegance that would do--..credit to the
first cabinet-maker in London. The grounds are
not ext-nsive. and are likewise laid out in the Eng.
• livh style. The hon.ei of Count Woronzoff and of
Prince Navishkin are splendid. Many first-rate man.
sions ase now building in the vicinity of the. Palace
and on the Marine Parade. House-building is here
es favOutite a speculation as in England labour
and tone are exceedingly cheap, though wood is dear,
' as the country round is entirely destitute of timber. I
cannot say much of the churches; the Russians have a
peculiar style her religious edifices; there is always a
dreat display of columns; the ground is yellow, the
ecorations white, and the roof and cupola green;
altogether, the effect is not bad. Odessa, like all
other towns in Rossi., is overrun with Jews; they,
have 'by far the greater part of the retail trade ; the'
• tobacco, silk, and fur trades, are almost exclusively
'stn the hands
.of the Crimea Jews, who wear the
• Tartar costume. The Bazar is a most extraordinary
place, and well worth seeing; the arrangements are
entirely in the TUrkish style, and the shop fronts are all
open. The fruit market occupies a considerable space;
the proprietors of the stalls sleep on the spot, in
. straw hovels erected for the purpose. - Indeed, the
Russians ate by no -means particular as to the na-
ture or extent of their dot mitory ; many of the
stalls, which line the streets. have sleeping places
underneath, apparently not large enough to stow away
the sheepskir, much less the person, of the sleefer.
The grapes are very fine. and water-melons in such
abundance as to become, with coarse bread, the ordinary
food of the lower otdets. I should think that one
fourth of the buildings consist of warehouses, many of
which are now filled with corn ; but the export trade
. is entirely at a stand still. and the merchants anxiously
expecting better times. Sepplies of corn and charcoal
. are main ally pouring into the taint. Two handfed
small waggons or casimlaily entire ilia day. Gc.vern-
meat, I understand, acts with great impartiality in .
the- distribution of the contracts.
