THE DEMANDS OF RUSSIA.

We received this forenoon the Hamburg
Reporter, and other Hamburg Papers of Fri.
clay last. The reported Armistice between the
Russians and Turks created unusual interest in
BerliN, but the conditions were not known in
consequence of his MAJESTY not being in the
capital.

However, in the absence of authentic informa-
tion, the Hamburg Reporter gives the following
as the conditions agreed upon :

HAMBURG, SEPT. 18.

No official intelligence respecting the affairs of the
East has reached us since Tuesday, but of rumours
and speculations there has been in the meanwhile no
scarcity. Of these the most important is one which
got into circulation in Berlin shortly after the arrival
of a courier from Constantinople, whose despatche.,
it is said, brought positive information that the pre-
liminaries of peace had been definitively concluded
between Russia and Turkey. The conditions agreed
to are said to be the following:—
I. Moldavia, Wallachia, and Bulgaria, are to
be placed under the sovereignty and protection of
Russia.
11. The unconditional emancipation of Greece is
to be recognised, and its territory enlarged.
Several fortresses on the Black Sea, taken
by Count Paskewitsch, are to be ceded.
IV. The free navigation between the Black Sea
aad the Mediterranean is to be secured by the demo-
lition of several of the fortresses on the Bosphorus.
V. A pecuniary indemnity of several hundreds of
millions of rubles is to be paid to Russia, in consi-
deration of the expenses of the war; and, as the
giultan declares his incapacity to comply with this
demand at present, security for the future payment
is to be given.
Upon these conditions the Reporter makes
the following sensible and just observations :
" Of course if peace has been concluded
upon the above terms, Turkey, although it may
retain a nominal independence, will be virtually
as completely under the controul of the Russian
Government, as Poland, Finland, or any other
interior province. That we regret the issue
of the war it would be idle to deny, for we have
never for a moment disguised our wish that the
triumph of Russia might not be too complete ;
not certainly on aee.ount of any predilection we
felt for the Turks, but becauae we saw in the
hull= aggrandizement of Russia the germ of a
future • struggle between a military despotism
armed with a giant's strength, and the yet more
powerful energies of civilized Europe.
" For let it not be supposed that the other
I‘lonarchies of Europe will feel at ease when
they see the Russian Empire possessing itself of
the means of asserting at any future time a
complete naval supremacy in the Mediterranean.
If the forts on the Bosphorus are demolished,
but those on the Dardanelles left :34.nilin7, the
navigation between the Black Sea and the Me'
diterraneah becomes the absolute property of
Russia ; Turkey will retain the power of closing
the Dardanelles against every other nation, and
that power she will be forced to wield in eiaet
accordance igth Ole prescription of Russia ; an
insult may thus be oared with impunity to
every rival, for after all if any ec,l-4iilaint should
be tini,...21 , the offence will have been committed
by one Power, however evidently the profit or
advantage may be with another,
" It is thererefore not from any enmity nainSt
Ruai..,l that we regret the course which the pre-
sent war Mims taken ; on the contrary, we are fully
sensible that all those Foyjnces which pass from
the hands of a barbarous into tlic.cie pf a civilized
despot, will gain incalculably by the change. But
the a4vai4ltzes which Armenia and Bulgaria
gain, will be ticar4r purchased by the feeling of
insecurity that will be enter,t4;_=ned by the civilized
nations of Europe, and first tuthi Zo;•ernost by
Germany, as in more immediate contact with its
mighty neighbour. It is not, probably, during,
the reign of the preset Emperor that any col-
lision is to be apprehended ; but ;; time may
cosec when the sceptre of the Czars may be
wielded by a:Jt whose ambition shall only he
his ilt to conceive and his
surpassed by i.bn
energy to execute the plans of feign conquest,
and what would then be the situation of Europe ?"
HAMBURG, SEPT. 18.
BORsEN-lIALLI, Foun o'cnocK.—Our arrivals
of \Vheat from the interior during the last few days
have been considerable; as well of old Wheat, as of

that of this year's harvest ; the latter is of good
quality and heavy. Several of the best lots were
taken, at reduced prices, for exportation, but a great
part still remains unsold, and appears likely to con-
tinue to remain.—Some parcels of new Wheat re-
ceived from Holstein were damp, and every way of

inferior quality.
Of Rye our arrivals from Mecklenburg and
Holstein were limited; the only purchaSers were
our own consumers, and they bought up sparingly.
Oats are looking up, the market being but
scantily provided. The same remark may be made
with respect to Rapeseed"'
Durinc, the first eleven days of September, 99
cargoes of corn passed through the Sound; 22, con-
sisting of Wheat, and 43 of R;: e. To British ports
there were bound, 22; to Dutch ports, 49 ; and to
Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish ports, 20. One
was bound to Newfoundland, 1 to Boulogne, 1 to
Riga, and of 3 the destination does not appear in
the official list.

The Nurembiug Correspondent of the 14th
September says, that the Russians had not only
taken possession of Rodosto, but had shown
themselves in the immediate vicinity of Con-
stantinople :

FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, SEPT. 4.

According to reports which are to day in circu-
lation in Belgrade, the Russians have occupied the
whole line from Adrianople to Rodosto, and it is
therefore to be presumed that the next mail from
Constantinople (that of Aug. 25), will either not
come at all, or pass as usual by way of Adrianople,
through the Russian army. It is affirmed at Sem-
lin, that news has been brought there by a courier,
that on the 27th of Aug. some light Russian troops
had shewn themselves near Constantinople.

THUP.INGITIA, SEPT. 8.

It is said that a great state, past of whose terri-
tory belongs to Germany, is not disinclined to de-
part from the system of exclusion which it has
hitherto followed in commercial matters, with re-
spect to other German States, particularly those
belonging to the association of Central Germany, if
proposals are made to it equivalent to the advan-
tages which it has derived from that system. It is
affirmed that the Congress still assembled at Cassel,
is engaged in discussing a plan:to this effect, and the
result is the more impatiently expected, as the ne-
cessity is more felt of adopting decisive measures to
remedy evils which are the ground of such nume-
rous complaints in most of the countries belonging
to that Association, and against which the arrange-
ments of the first Convention of Cassel afford only
very insufficient palliatives.

" Austria is prol.al,ly meant.

By the following. article from the Allgemeine
Zeitung, of the 16th inst., it will be seen in
what light the progress of the Russians is viewed
by the commercial interests in Germany :

FROM THE DANUBE, SEPT. 12.

The victories of the Russians over the Turks
begin to be more and more generally acknowledged
as a desii-able means of opening to the commerce of
the European Continent, by an intercourse with
Asia, a great market, which may and must be se-
cured against the arbitrary power of England. Hence
the eager participation, the impatient curiosity after
the news of the advance of General Diebitsch to the
Turkish capital. It is remarkable that a foreign
General should have acquired so much popularity
by victories in remote countries, merely because
these vict.nies seem to be a defeat of the Eng-
lish policy, which people are now convinced
is inimical to the development of commerce
and manufactures on the Continent. Hence
proceeds the anxious fear lest General Diebitsch
should be induced, by some diplomatic obstacle,
suddenly to suspend his triumphant march to Con-
stantinople. This apprehension is kept up by those
who see that nothing is to be hoped for their private
interest, unless they succeed in gaining time, they
therefore spread a report that the Russian General
has concluded an armistice for 16 days ; but the
Terl:s would not be able, in so short a time, to re-
pair the total dissolution of their military force,
hence the armistice would have no object but to
leave the English time to come to the support of
their old friend in Constantinople. The friends
of England, and of the Turks disregard (as a mere
trifle) the circumstance that General Diebitsch
has no reason whatever to open a way for the
British ships. The London Journals themselves
have, however, observed that the Cabinet of S.
James's would not be indisposed to send ships to the
Black Sea, to burn the Russian establi4iments ;
the Russians must therefore be destitute of re-
collection and foresight if they neglected to se-
cure themselves for ever against such a threat.
When an opportunity preents itself of acquiring
immortal glory, can it be supposed that this oppor-
tunity, which may never return, will be thought-
lessly or foolishly thrown away out of complaisance
. for England, or from fear of the threats of those
moriai.cli;ts. We see how arrogantly some people
presume to apprec.i4tp
.:lre exalted sentiments of the
Emperor Nicholas.

St. Petersburgh Gazettesof the 7th instant
hay° lavo4 received, from which we make the
following extracts. These Papers have no news
of the capture of Adrianople, except as a report
dated Odessa, 26th August :

ET. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 6.—The Gazelle con-
tains 0:1,52 official Report of Admiral Greig of the
taking of Aincola by a part of his fleet, consisting of
one ship of the line, two friptes, two brigs, and three
gun-boats. The enemy's garrison is stated to have
amounted to 2,000 men, who fled? and abandoned to
their c&nrinerors the fortifications, which were
equally important for their extent and strength.
Thirty pieces of cannon, two mortars, and great
magazines of military stores were found in the fortreii.
TIFLIS, AUG. 13.—The following prisoners of
war arrived here to-day from the head-quarters of
the army in the field :—Mahmed Sadekh Pacha,
