THE ETHIOPIAN CONGRESS,

Our las, adyccs from Europe leave u siill

-ccOnd-rate powers Of Europe, have hAstcncd 10

follow bis lead in the settlement Of international
iouds. il the news given by the Memorial DIP.

ain.
Tho cagcrnc-s OF the sccond-rato Powers 20
e.pou.. the Napoleonic idea is easily explained.
In the present unsettled condition - European
nifairs, each one Of these powor, would consider
it rlost dangerous to offend the Emperor Of
France. They are, moreover, elatcd with the
hope that henccfor,h tho dostinies Of Europe

but that Cnges.es Of all the Powers viii be-
come permanent institution, and give 10 their

The same consideration which disposcs the
smaller States in favor o. the Napoloonic Con-
grcss creates uneasiness 10 the grand Powers.
Russia is aware that in the Polish question
France would without doubt be supported by
an overwhelming majority OF the Congress
and England and Austria naturally anticipate

cratic principles, ought to be hailed as q cheering

Napoleon is sowing democracy alone can reap
In looking over the comments of the European

with the prevalence OF a prescntiment th"t

Europe. II is generally felt that tho whole
fabric reared by the treaties of 1873 may be set
on fire BIZ an accident, and that the available
means for cxtnguishng this conilagration may
be found inadequate. Some questions, as the
Italian, seem TO admit of comparatively easy
solutions; but others, ike tho restoration OF an
independent Poland, the establishment OF u
German Confedcracy, the transformation OF
Turkey, the settlement of the Schlcswig- Holston
difficulty, and, more than all these, the conflict
between the old monarcies and young demo-
cracy. defy the sagaciiy of the wisest statesmen
They all consituto the (" irrcprcssible conflict "
