u SUSPENSION OF POSSIBILITIES.
By late arrivals at New York, London papers
to the 9th Sept. are received They bring
the important intelligence of a cessation of hos
tilities in Turkey, preparatory to renewal of
negotiations for peace. Details follow
Hostlities have ceased inthe east. This
intelligence was received in London on the
evening of Sept. Goth, by the arrival of Mr..
Whitshed, attached to the English Lega-
ton at Berlin, with dispatches from Sir r.
Gordon, dated Constantinople, Aug. "a, and
from MIR. Seymour at Berlin, of Sept. I3
The Courier of Sept. 81, gives the follow
ing as the substance, so far as it has trans
pired, of the intelligence from the Turkish
capital, which had reached Berlin at the
date of Mr.. Whitshed's departure.
In consequence of an earnest representa-
ton Of the Refs Esnd ogtRBaS 2add Aga SSStd
Gen. Muttiing, concerted together as to
the means OF averting the calamites which
might be aPprehended from the appearance
OF the Russian army before Constantinople.
They had, accordingly, conference with
the Refs Ettendi early on the 24th, at which
were present also the Plenipotentiaries of
the Porte, Sa6eh Effendi, the Minister of
Finance, and Cadie Bey, appointed to treat
with the Russians.
The conference ended in the fullest lati-
tude being given to the Plenipotentiaries to
treat respecting the indemnites to be con-
coded to Russia for the expenses of the
war; and in the mission of M. de Kuster.
the Confidential Secretary of Gen. Mufflng,
to accompany the Turkish Plenipotentiaries
to the headquarters of Gen. Diebitsch. with
a joint representation of the Ambassadors
to the Russian General, pledging them
selves for the pacific disposition of the Sui
tan, and urging the necessity of an immedi-
ate suspension of hostilties.
The Plenipotentiaries and M. de Kuster
reached Adrianople on the 9th August ::
and on the 29th Gen. Diebtsch gave orders
for cessation of hostilities on the whole
line OF the Russian operations. The pre-
liminarles of peace had net been signed /;
but both parties were perfectly satisfied
with the disposition manifested on either
side, and little doubt was entertained that
the terms would be settled in few days.
AS to the terms, upon which the peace is
to he negotiated, nothing certain is known.
But the Sultan having been so anxious for
peace as to have left the conditions entirely
to the Emperor of Russia, we NAV infer
that the latter has lost no advantages which
he could obtain without exciting unpleas-
ant Jealousies on the part of his European
Allies, with whom we have never entertain
ed doubt, he has. from the beginning been
disposed to maintain the most perfect good
faith. A Berlin paper of the 10th Sent.
expresses It's disappointment at not finding
IN the State Gazette of that morning, some
thing OF the news brought by the courier
from Constantlnople but adds, as a reason
Tor this silence, that the dispatches have
probably been sent to his Majesty, who is
absent from the capital. Meantime the
Hambuigh papers, of Sept. 1S, give, as the
most important rumor which followed the
arrival of the courier in Berlin, that the
prellminaries Of the peace had been def
nitely concluded, upon The following basis
1. Moldavia, Wallachia, and Bulgaria.
are to be placed under the sovereignty and
protection Of Russia.
2. The unconditional emancipation of
Greece is to be recognized, and its territory
to be enlarged.
3. Several fertresses on the Black Sea
taken by Count Paskewtsch, are to be
ceded.
a. The free navigation between the
Black Sea and the Mediterranean is to lie
secured ny the demolition of several of the
fortresses on the Bosphorns.
5. A pecuniary indemnity of several
hundreds of millions Of rnbles is to be paid
to Russia, in consideration of the expenses
of the war; and as the Sultan declares his
to comply with this demand at
present, security for the future payment is
to be given.
The London Atlas, which is the latest
paper received, states positively, that
