  We find the first three most general Minkowski or Hsiung-Minkowski identities
relating the total mean curvatures $H_i$, of degrees $i=1,2,3$, of a closed
hypersurface $N$ immersed in a given orientable Riemannian manifold $M$ endowed
with any given vector field $P$. Then we specialise the three identities to the
case when $P$ is a position vector field. We further obtain that the classical
Minkowski identity is natural to all Riemannian manifolds and, moreover, that a
corresponding 1st degree Hsiung-Minkowski identity holds true for all Einstein
manifolds. We apply the result to hypersurfaces with constant $H_1,H_2$.
