suppression of tho Rebellion, and desires to do
it with tho least possible sacrifice Of liio and
pecuniary outlay. 1t is no longer question
that tho blacks make tho best Of soldiers, nor
can il be doubted that it would be heavy blow
to tho Rebels when they saw that while we
were mastering anew 4 large army, we were
doing so by drawing upon their resources IN
stead of our own. The Southern Freedmen
would unquestionably enlist with great roadi-
ness and ut the same time that great step
forward was thus made in the suppression OF the
Rebellion, the problem Of relief for their wives
and children would be solved instantaneously.
Tho bountics now paid to Southern white sol
diers would be fortune to the EmancipGtcd
blacks. and much smaller sums would draw
them from long distances within the encmy's
lincs. We trust the subject will be urged upon
thc Administration at Washington, and should
the authority once DO given to the Governors OF
the States to fill up their quota in accordance
with this suggestion, it would be the most pop
ular measure of tho war with all classes OF

you enable the dishonest crew, who have so
long roted upon your substance, to retain their

TUc ETHIOPIAN CONGWEss.

We printed yesterday tho remarkable docu-
ment by which TIE Emperor of France invites
tie European Sover,g's TO Congress, for the
special purpo.s Of discussing The reconnruction
Of al Europe. If any one should doubt the I'M
mcnse importance of the Imperial letter, Let
him watch the unprecedented commo,lon which
il ia producing in European society.
The central idea Of the Empcror's proposition
is set forth with much greater franknoss than
b. ha5 ever shown on previous occasions. 1t h
no longer the settlement Of the Polish or any
other special question. on which ho lays great
stress; bnt they are all, in very explicit IAN
cuagc, made subordinate 10 the settlement OF
he great European qnestion--tho rcoonsiluction
Of tho map Of Europe ON The basis Of the dis
tiuct nationalilios.
Itisawoll known fact that this question:
tho reconstruction OF the map of Enropc-has
been ono Of The iayoritc studies oftlo Empcr =
ever since his accession 10 the throne. The &C..
.ults of tho Italian war, tho annexation 81 the
uroyince of Iombardy where Italian is spoken
TO Italy, and that of Savoy, whore french i.
spokep, TO France. clearly proved ',na, the En-
peror intended. whenever IN Opportunity should
offer, TO attempt more than theoretical solution
of the grave problem. But the Soytrcigns %
Europe have, perhaps, nyter realized so vel! II
they probably do now, iha extent of thetcrrito
rial changes which Nspolrnpropos forEurope
Napoleon does not say that he will supper
al tho national si,Iations Of the Enropeal
peoples. lie mcr,ly states, a. his opinion, tina

sid"s ard that ha has not tho saIno iniercst II
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1863-12-01

no, significantly, "Callcd tothc throne by Provi'
dence and the will Of tho French people. but
trained in The school Of adversely, 1t is perhaps
less allowable for me than any other to ignore
the rights of soyereigns and the Legitimate aSpr.
ations Of peoples" The Emperor clearly re-
CARDS himself as the mediator between the nd
time Of historical monarchics and the now err
of democratic nationalities. The history OF the
Italian war WILL however, suggest to all the
European soveregns that the Emperormay be
easily induced to ally himself with the A" legiti-
mate aspirations of the peoples" against the
rights of sovereigns."
None of the four other Grand Powers OF
Europe-Russia, England Austria and Prussia
seems to have received the project Of Eu-
ropean Congress with favor. This is natural,
for each of them would be likely TO suffer by the
successful execution of the project. Russia,
Austria and Prussia would have TO abandon
their claims to Poland; Austria and Prussia
would DO even threatened in their very existence
by the prospective solution of the German ques-
ton. England would lose all her strOngholds
in the Mediterranean. France alone runs no
risks. She has only one province in which an
other language than the French still prevails 10
some nt-Alsace-and there it is very proba-
bic a majority Of the population really prefer
remaining connected with France to being an
ncxed to Germany.
The project of France is warmly seconded by
Italy and Spain. Both States can only gain b.
il. Italy would be the first to profit by il, for
tho question Of ycnetie, the whole population
Of which Province demands reunion with
Italy, would be one Of the first to present ITSELF
and as K is one of the easiest to solve, it would
be probably one of the first whose solution
Congress would attempt. Spain has for some
time shown an intention 70 demand IRON England
the fortress of Gibraltar. She would, OF course,
be glad to receive the Endorsement Of her claim
by Congress.
The other great European question'-the
Polish, the Turkish, the German, the Danish
Gcrman-would present greater difficulties, audit
would obviously require more than one Congress
10 come a. an understanding about them. But
every attempt to solve them woudcall up COM
plicaiions which would more or less directly
involve some Of the Grand Powers. Coy.
crnmcnts like France, Italy, and SPAN would,
therefore, q, every succeeding Congress, be able
To throw great stunbling-blocks in the way OF the
rcstofthc European countries. France, Italy, and
Spain oil belong TO the Latin race, and the pros
pectiyc advantages which they would derive
from the proposed Congress would, therefore,
coincide with the Emperor's speculatons on the
mission Of the Latin race.
II Russia, England, Austria. and Prussia
consent at all 70 the convoca,ion of Congress,
il will be with great distrnst and reluctance.
They commit themselves to stormy seq, and
they are aware that no statesman can tell them
where they NAV land.
