that any people and (iovcrnnient could be more

sincoriy di sirous of r.oiiriliatinsj a just an tiiendiy intercourse with another nation, than are those of the United States with their ancient ally nnd friend. This disposition is founded, as well on the most grateful md honorable recollections associated with oar struggle for independence, as upon a well grounded conviction, that it is consonant with the true policy of both. The people fo the United States could not therefore, cee without the deepest rejrret, even a temporary interruption of the friendly relation, between the two countries a rcgiet which would, I am sure, be greatly aggravated if there should turn out to be any reasonable ground for attributing such n result to any act of omission or commission on our part. I derive, therefore, the highest satisfaction from being able to assure you, that the whole course of this Government, has been characterized by a spirit so conciliatory and forbearinir, as to make it impossible that our justice and moderation should be questioned, whatever may be the consequences of a longer perseverance, on the part of the French Government, in her omission to satisfy the conceded claims of our citizens. The history of the accumulated and unprovoked aggressions upon our commerce, committed by authority of the existing Government of France between the years IC0O-7 has been rendered too painfully familiar to every American, to make its repetition either necessary or desirable. It will be sufficient here to remark, that there has for many years, been scarcely a single administration of the French Government by whom the justice and legality of the claim3 of our citizens to indemnity, were not to a considerable extent, admitted; and yet near a quarter of a century has been wasted in ineffectual negotiations to secure it. Deeply sensible of the injurious effects resulting from this state of things upon the interests and character of both nations, I regarded it as among my first duties to caue one more effort to tie made to satisfy France, that a just and liberal settlement of our claims, was as well due to our own honor as to their incontestable validity. The negotiation for this purpose was commenced with the late Government of France, and was prosecuted with such success, as to leave no reasonable ground to doubt, that a settlement of a character quite as liberal as that which was subsequently made, would have been effected, had not the revolution, by which the negotiation was cut off, taken place. The discussions were resumed with the present Govern-

pun oi me r rencn unvcrnment, mat uus iwcmy five millions of francs should "be paid at Paris in six annual instalments of four millions one hundred and ixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty sis francs and sixtr-six centimes each, in

to the hands of such person or persons as shall be authorized by tiie Tinted States to receive

it." 1 he first instalment to be paid "at the expiration of one year next following the exchange of the ratification of the convention, and the others at successful interval" of a year, one after another, till the whole shall be paid. To the amount of each of the said in t alments shall be added interest at four per centum there upon, as upon the other instalments then remaining unpaid; the said interest to bo computed from the day of exchange of the present convention." It was also stipulated on the part of the United States, for the purpose of being completely liberated from all the reclamations presented by

France on behalf of its citizens, that the sum of

one million five hundred thousand francs should he paid to the government of France, in six annual instalments, to be deducted out of the annual sums which France had agreed to pay, interest thereupon being in like mnnner computed from the day of the exchange of the ratifications. In addition to this stipulation, important advantages were secured to France by the following article, viz : "The wines of France from and after the exchange of the ratifications of the present Convention, shall be admitted to consumption in the States of the Union, at duties which shall not exceed the following rates by the gallon, (uch as it i ueed at present for

wines in the United States,) to wit: six cent-? for red wines in casks; ten cents for white wines in casks; and twenty-two cents for wines of all sorts in bottles. The proportions existin;: between the duties on the French wines thus

reduced, and the general rates of the tariffj

which went into operation the hrst ot January, 1 8-21, shall be maintained, in case the Government ol the United States should think proper to diminish those general rates in a new tariff. In consideration of this stipulation, which shall be binding on the United States for ten year, the French Government abandons the reclamations which it had formed in relation to the Cth article of the treaty of cession of Louisiana. It engages, moreover, to establish on the long staile cottons of the United States, which, after the exchange of the ratifications of the present Convention, shalt be brought directly thence to France by the vessels of ihe United States, or hv French vesels, the same duties as on sfiort staple cotton M This treaty was duly ratified in the manner prescribed by the constitutions of both countries an'' lie ratification was exchanged at the City of Washington, on the d of February, 1 On account of its commercial stipulations it wa, in five days thereafter, laid before the Con

gress of the United States, which proceeded to cnict J"ich laws favourable to the commerce of France as were necessa rv to carry it into full execution and France has from that period to the pre

sent, been in the unrestricted enjoyment

delity and promptitude by which their

conduct will, I trust, be always characterized, done every thing that was necessary to carry the treaty into full nnd fair effect on their part, counted , with the most perfect conil lence. on equal fidelity and promptitude on the part of the French Government. In this reasonable expectation we have been. I reg-ret to inform ton. wholly r!:-;ppointed. Io legislative pro vision ha? been made by France for the execution of the treaty, ei'her as it respects the indemnity to be paid, or the commercial benefits to be secured to the U. States, and the relations between the United States aDd that power, in consequence thereof, are placed in a situation threatening to interrupt the gocd understanding which has so long rndso hippilv existed between the two nations. Not only has Uip French Government been thu? wantif'T in (he performance of the stipulations it has so solemnly entered into with the U. States, but it omissions have been marked by circumstances wMeh would seem to leave ns without satisfactory evidences, that such perfoiniunce will certainly take place at a future period. Advice of the exchange of ratifications reached Paris prior to the P.ih April, 1032. The French Chamber wo, e then sitting and continued in session until tha 21st of that month, and although cne instalment of the indemnity was -payable on the 2d of February, omp year after the exchange of ratifications, no application was made to the Chambers for the required appropriation, and in conse quence of no appropriation having then been made, the draft of the U. States Government for that instalment, was dishonored by the Minister of Finance, nnd Ihe United States thereby involved in much controversy. The next session of the Chambers commenced on the 1 9th Nov., 1G32, and continued until the 25th April, 1C33. Notwithstanding the ornis sion to pay the first instalment had hern made the subject of earnest remonstrance on our part, the treaiy with the U. States, and a bill making the necessary appropriations to execute it, where not laid be fore the Chamber of Deputies until the fith of April, pearly five mon'hs after its meeting, ar.d only nineteen dr.) s before

the close ot the session The bill was read and referred to a committee, but there was no further action upon it. The next session of the Chambers commenced on the 2Gth of April, 1C33, and continued until the 26ih of June following. A new

bill was introduced the 11th of June, butltion. from the rrhVn! of th Chambers to

nothing important wos done in relation to (grant it when nkrd, from the emission to it during (he session. In the month of j bring the fu'jf'Ct I.
