WK' O CONNELL'S SECOND LETTER TO THE
PEOPLE OF IRELAND.
r „ r. , Londojj, 12t!» April, 1833.
Fellow-Countrymen,— I return to the pleasing task of
eoinmuntng with you again. I return to that which the
jast Act has made an imperative duty—tho cheer
Ing you during this the la*t night ol your bondage,
pointing out to you, that, amidst (be daik hour of iinmrrit
•d slavery which surrounds you, there are to be seen some
of the white streaks of the coming light, which promise,
with unerring certainty, a morning ol mild brightness, and
a noontide of e,,r"l*e'*t brilliancy. It was asserted in both
Houses of P ulianicnt, and believed by many, that the
Despotism lhll would tie a mere dead letter, bold out
only “m terrorem," but never to bo carried into practise
We knew better— we knew Lord Anglesey better We
recollected the old proverb, “ Set a beggar on hoischack
and he will ride to-The rest i< familiar. Yes;
the political beggar ins keen set on horsebaek, and off
he goes to——But he has actually proclaimed the city of
Kilkenny. Now, 1 defy any man to give me a justifiable
reason, or even pretext, for proclaiming tbe city ol Kil
kenny. there was no disturbance, no outrage in the city.
Event* are crowding upon us, anil amongst them is to be
found more than hope lor Ireland. Europe is threatened
with war—that i* one. We are eight millions—that is ano
ther. We require no third. The period of this last trial
will soon pass away Even tho excesses committed under
the •Despousm Mill will hasten tho time when despoti in
itsell will he impossible in Ireland. I thus, briefly .notice
tho audacious measure of outlawing the city of Kilkenny
■sonool those which brings with it a salutary re-action I
proceed to the more imm.nedhte object ol this my second
letter. 1 tie object is, the organization of the elective
franchise, in every County, city, town, or borough in Ire
land. Let it be recollected, that my first duty—as con
centrating in myself, during the psesent calamitous sus
pension of the common law, tho powers of •• the Volun
leers’ of Ireland—is lo put the elective franchise in
such a state, that (he people shall command the return of
really honest men lo Parliament. This is my first duly
and this letter was intended, principally, to commence
the developement of ,„y plan for this purpose—a purpose
which, in the present state ol political moveineirs, not only
in these countries, but all over Europe, tends directly to
the establishment of constitutional freedom. Hnf, I am
Interrupted. Another proclamation!! Ye*, I rejoice to
see the glorious n.iinn of the Irish Volunteer *o honoured
with being the first in the enmity of the legal Autocrat of
Ireland. Honour, also, to ihe mighty Pasha!—to the
extent to which it is deserved. This is, al«o, another
boon r,.,„i Earl Drey’s Ministry. This another favour
from flic Briti-h Parliament. Let this proclamation
bo kept Hfnong tl»e record# of lri«h grievance!!, for
the <lay of legal and constitutional retribution_a day,
which 1 believe, lo be more near than “ the million''
iinigitie. I bcglejve, iIiii», to letum my most cordial
thanks, m th- name of injured Ireland, to Hie Volun
teers, for having continue I to meet until this prorlama
tlon issued. I bey will, of cour.-o, obey this proclamation;
but they did well anil wi*,.|y to assert the national Ireedom
of British subjects on their part, and to leave it to the dis
penser* of despotism to exert the power* of arbitrary and
most unconstitutional law on the oilier part. This is now
paitof history pait of Iri-ti history. It stands amongst
those annals which tell of Engl mb's injustice, and ol Ire
land's euflrrings. during seven centuries of shame and
rvrmvy, Lei fi§ ir»».twin#* it, lino, m our inmo«t «oul«,

Ibis letter—the organization ol the elective franchise
and tempts me, before I proceed further with that
object, to Introduce one or two topics .id » more pressing

Gentleman thus summed np their case:—••You first g.-nc^
ia'e vices, ami then put them forward as a pica for perse
cution—you make England but halt a country to the Jews
and then you wonder that they have only half patriotism
—you treat them ns foreigners, and then wonder tliat they
•'■‘vo not all the feelings of natives—you draw a hue ol
■»ep 'ration, an*! then express astonishment that they do not
mingle with you—y ou will not allow them to possess an
acre or land, ami yet complain that they devote themselves
exclusively totiaii.—you dchar them from all exertion nl
honorable ambition, and then reproach thorn for tnkinsr
rclugo in the arts of avatice—in fine, you have for ages
subjected 'hem to every species of injustice, and then you
condemn them lot resoiting to w hat is the n .tural resource

and six o’clock, a>nid«t the universal gratulations ol ini-'
incuse crowds ol spectator*, who filled every avenueJ

the President and hi* suile hail to pas*. The undisguised |

most lumulfumii shouts of applause and delight, as the

For many boms before the arrival of the splendid

On board the Ohio weie the vaiious committee* which

committees weie marshalled into a lung column of two

About six o'clock the President walked a-horc. and

I and Col. Miller, ol this station, in that plain, simple, re
! publican manlier, which he particularly drsiicd to be oh
j served in bis reception during his vi-it to the North. A

As soon .i< be set his loot, on shore the salute commenced
firing, and a* lie piocceded to tlie carriage tho cannon
rended the air witli their glorious voices. Tho crowds
njain mingled in tlie general shout—the people in the
steamboat* joined, and the spectator* on all the surround

The President mounted the steps of tlie barouch* with
great alacrity. His healih appears very firm, and the tire

enthusiasm, Every window was crowded with female
beauty—smiles and satisfaction lighted up every face and
nml nave animation to every eye.
The President appeared to he deeply affected with tho
enthusiasm ol the people. He took oil his hat repeatedly
and bowed to the people in the most afloctionatc manner!
as lie pegged alone.
In this manner lie proceeded—the air resounding with
the slmti!* ol tho people—to hi* quarters at the City Ho

manner.
The President i* dressed in a suit of plain simple black
He wears a broad-brimmed white hat, with crape around
it, indir.uive ot the melancholy bereavement which lie
sustained just as he was about first proceeding to Washing,
ton in 182.8, to assume the rein* ol government. His man
ners are gentle, bland, and uncommonly easy and grace
ful. He has all the Irank, familiar style ol a military

exercise ol Ins own talents. In the course ofthe evening
many ol hi* porsonal friends and acquaintances called upon

I point of attraction—and the tops of the houses, the rising
; ol the vessels at the wharves, were literally clustered with
I human being*. About 5 o’clock, a gun announced that ;
the Steamboat containing the President was in sight, the '
Union Jack was displayed, the marines drew up at the I
west end ot the passage between the large ship house*
Htid in a lew minutes the Ohio, surrounded hy a num
ber ol other steamboats, the Robert Morris, See. moved
up to the wharf, where tlie Committee* stood to re- I
eeivc the President. During the necessary delay, the
attending steamers plyed backward* and forwards ; their
gunwales alternately dipping into the water as the dense :
mass on hoard ol them ran from side to side. The Prest- '
dent came forward and repeatedly bowed to the people in
the various vessels, who amazed the welkin with their i
shouts. Alter the lauding amid the roaring ol cannon he
walked Ironi the wharf to the barouche prepared lor him
receiving the salute ol the marines, and the greetings ol
his fellow citizens, who pressed around him in such throngs
that lie was in some danger ol being killed with kindness, j
Me remarked, smiling, "Gentlemen, gentlemen, I have
but two hands; it you will only give me lime, I will lie hap- j
py to shake hands with every man among you.” Ho was
evidently much affected with the cordiality ot the recep- j
lion. Alter he was fairly seated in the carriage, the ditli
eulty was to drive out ol the Yard. Tho multitude
thronged the passage, forming an impenetrable body ; many
scrambled upon the wheels, on the drivet’s seat, and on
the bark ol the vehicle extending their hands to gra«p
those of the President. lirifereus himself would have
I •-n at a loss to comply with their requisitions. Finally,
however, the way was opened, and the procession moved !
into Front sheet, where the cavalry joined in, and the line ,
ol march was taken up lor the quarters provided lor the 1
President. At this moment a slight rain began to fall, 1
which seemed to he unnoticed, the President remaining
uncovered until lie arrived at the hotel, and the collection
ol spectators increasing in magnitude every moment._lb.
I he Arrival. A little before five o'clock a gun at
tbe Navy Yard announced that the steam boat had turned
Gloucester Point, and the crowd, inside and out, were on
the tip'oc ol expectation. From three to five thousand
j citizens had obtained admission into the y»id by tickets or
1 otherwise,and a baud of music was stationed near the ba
I rouchc nnd four, to welcome the hero of the day. The
boat soon came majestically forward, and alongside was
the Robert Morris, of the Rail Road Line, which, after
discharging her Baltimore passengers, had taken on board
as many a* could stand up ttlgcwise, and gone down to
meet the Ohio. When the latter came to the wharf, the !
President was seen on the upper.deck, waving a large:
while hat, and bowing respectfully to those on shore. He
very soon landed, and was escorted through a long line of j
citizen* to the gale of tho yard, accompanied hy the mili- |
tary anti naval officers, and the committee, where the ha- ;
I louche received him, and the line ol marrh was taken up
tor hi* quarters, at the City Hotel, amid the viva* and )
hurrahs of as great a concourse as we ever saw as
sembled.
The whole population seemed to be on the ground_I
every window exhibited a crowd of heads, while both
sides of the street, lor the whcle length of the route, was
lined with double and triple rows of gazers, who, ever
slid anon, rai»cd their hats and shouted a welcome.
During the time occupied in passing to the barouche, a
salute ol 21 guns was fired; the shipping In port displayed
all their ribands and lings, while several steam boats plied
in the river, making the air resound with music and
cheers. At the sign of the Ship, iri Front street, near
tho Navy Yard, flag* and streamers wore displayed across
the street, and on the centre of one an inscription flattering
in the extreme to the city’s guest.
The procession moved lot want, preceded hy four trum
peter*—Col. Hart’s first trpop the Washington Cavalry,
Col. Riley’s National troop, and the Montgomery troop,

Wager and Worrell, rtien came the committee of sixty,

I lie Southwark delegation followed, with a banner of
Washington, and in the train were twenty handsome open
barouches, followed by numerous horsemen in citi/.rn's
dress. Fortunately, though cloud’s predominated, no rain
ol any consequence marred ihe reception.
I lie President retired to his apartments immediately
on his at rival at the bo el, and the evening was passed in
receiving tin- New York delegation, and the congratula

Many ot (hn President’s friends called before ten o’etork,
at winch hour an open carriage conveyed him lo the First
Presbyterian Church. Care, too,a large assemblage of anx- ‘
ions laces greeted bis arrival. The church was crowded,
and outside a numerous company cohered to get a glimpse
of die first officer ol the government. The Kev. IMr. Marries I
preached an eloquent sermon, Irom the fourth chapter of '
; the Hook ot Camel, alter which a collerion was taken np
j for tho benefit ot foreign missions. Before the service
was ended the erowd had greatly increased, and it was
i with «ome difficulty that way wa* made to the carriage,
which the President entered, «ith his site- d.mt*, amidst
a very audible cheer; this he acknowledged with his form*

JOHN THOMPSON, Grand Marshal.
Philadelphia, June 11.-—We have rarely witness
ed a greater degree ot excitement in (his city than was
exhibited yesterday. At an early hour the streets in (lie
vicinity ol the Hall of Independence were thronged with
multitudes desirous of paying their personal respects, to
the President ol the United States; and at other points the
military, and those forming the civic portion of the pro
cession were congregating in gieal force. It was evident
that many had (locked from the surrounding country to
mingle with the citizens on the occasion. The weather
amply repaid us for the gloomy and lowering cloud* ol Sa
turday; it was quite clear anil delightfully cool; exactly
such a day as was desired.
/ujiociock, according to previous arrangements, the
President and suite, accompanied by the New York Com
mittee ol Escort, the Philadelphia Committee, Marshals,
&c.,le(t Meiskill’s Hotel, and repaired to the Hall ol In
dependence, where the President received the Citizens
generally, until eleven o’clock. The ample pavement in
front, presented a compact crowd, while the Independence
Square, in the rear, displayed numerous groups of men,
women, and children, eager for a glance at the man ol the
people. T he time allotted for the reception was, owing to
unavoidable circumstance.*, entirely too limited. Howe
ver, thousands contrived to enter the Hall, where'they
were gracefully and cordially received. It was amus
ing to hear Ihc remarks among those who had not;
until then, seen the President, and who had drawn
their ideas of his manners and personal appearance, from
the sketches in opposition newspapers : they could scarce
ly believe their eyes, when they beheld the upright form;
the penetrating, yet bland expression, the venerable as
pect, and the gr,ireful, unconstrained deportment ol An
drew Jackson; .til ol which formed a startling contrast to
that Which had been so strongly impressed upon their
minds. As each series of citizens left the Hall, there
seemed to ho a general comparing of notes; and without
knowing what opinions they once held, it was very evi
dent that their feelings were, that they hail had some blind
guides among them. I lie expression ol gratification was
universal.
About twelve o’clock the President, mounted upon a
spirited grey horse, with (he cortege, also mounted, lelt
the Hall. Ho was saluted by the first hiigade drawn tip
in Chesnut street, which, as lie moved off to the light,
wheeled into column, and repaired to the appointed spot
lot the review ol die first division, under the command ol
Major General Patterson. The line u-as formed in Arch
Sheet, the right on Broad, and when the companies from
the neighboring counties w ere added, extended to Seventh
sheet. It is supposed that there were nearly three thou
sand men on parade. The President, accompanied by
Maj. Gen. Patterson and Staff, rode down the linn and re
turned, evidently gratified with the appearance of the
troops. As lie passed, lie was enthusiastically cheered;
the ladies waving their handkerchief* from the windows,
and Ihc spectators, who lined the footways, rending the
air with their shouts. It was nearly one o’clock when the
procession began to move, coiinler-nisrrhing from the
right. The President, the Secretaries, General Patterson,
and many other gentlemen in front escorted by the first
troop of City Cavalry. The civic portion of the proces
sion then followed, the Committee of sixty in open car
riages ; the young men of Southwark, the young men of
the City and County, &c. The first brigade, tinder the
command of Col. Prcvost succeeded, which was strength
ened by the addition ol several infantry aad cavalry corps
from the vicinity. They were followed by the second di
vision, commanded by Brigadier General Goodwin, under
whose direction were also strong companies both of ca
valry and infantry temporarily attached to the division.
The rear was brought up by a strong array of Cavalry
from the county. The appearance ol the soldiery was
highly creditable to both officers and men. They looked
and marched well ; nothing was wanting on their part to
make the spectacle truly imposing.
i lie route 01 me procession was n long one, it being in
tended that all should he enabled to see the President, in
compliance with the warm wishes ot tha citizens; and it
was not until fi o’rtork, that the bend of the column arrived
at llieskeH’s, where the Piesident dismounted and retir
ed, having been or horseback, nearly all the time exposed
bare-headed to the sun, for live hours. The concourse
was »o great at the Hotel, that the Military were obliged
to extricate themselves, by marching ofTin single file.
Notwithstanding the fatigues and excitement of the
day, the President passed through it with “untired spirit.”
The llush of health was on his cheek, and his eyes spar
kled with gratification. Throughout the march, he con
tinued lo acknowledge, by bowing, the salutations of the
public, and from one end of the route to the other, (he
housetops, windows, pavements and every available ob
ject was literally clustered with human beings.
Altogether, the reception of the President in this city
has been equal in rntbusiasm to that of La Fayette in
1824. The feeling pervaded all classes; no coldness was
manifest from any. Thero seemed lo he a general clfort
to be foremost in rendering honour to him td*«vhoni honour
is due. The hoslilily lately manifested against him and
his patriotic efforts, has melted away like frost before the
sun, and the people have proved that although gratitude
may have slumbered, it is not dead; that although they
were temporarily misled, they are not to be kept from the
right path. We were confident of this; but to some, this
general movement, this general gush of good feeling, has
had Ihe effect of a thunderbolt. They are dazzled, blinded;
• hejf know not what to think, or what to say. They cer
tainly will, as soon a« their senses rally, find themselves
most unexpectedly, and most unpleasantly, in a queer po
sition. The day o( delusion is past.— lb.
The President leave* us this morning for New York, at
!)o’clock, in the People’s Line. The Philadelphia and N.
York ( oinmitlrft# will attend him. How far the former
will proceed we have not learnt. The New York Com
mittee consists of the following gentlemen:—

We understand that the Now York Committed
will receive the President and his suite on board tho
Steamboat North America at Perth Amhoy.at one o’clock
to-morrow afternoon. To-day he will proceed through
Trenton, Princeton, and lodge lor ll»e night in New Bruns
wick. Alt.-r break I i-t lo-inorrow, he will embark—and pass
down (lie Raritan to Perth Amboy and theie meet the1
North America with the authorities ot New York. We!
learn that the most splendid preparation* are made on
board the North America. About three hundred citizen*
are expected to ait down to dinner. Between three and
lour o’clock in the afternoon, the President will be landed
at the N. Y. Battery a nidst probably thirty thousand
spectators. New \ork, cannot, however, exceed the
lione«t enthusiasm ot Philadelphia_lb.
liluck llntrk and Ins companion* arrived yesterday in
Ihe Hubert Morris. Thewhaives in the neighborhood ol
Chesnut street, were well covered with the curious, who,
however, were tated to disappointment, as the Captain ol
the Steamer landed Ids distinguished charges at the Navy
' aid. They wrro brought up immediately to Congress
I l a!!, and the Prophet addressed the spectators from u
window. What was the purport ol Ins \ alternations, we
did not hear. The President and the procession passed
immediately afterward*. The Indian* appeared to he
much interested,'und gazed with the closest attention.
'',*■ are i',f°r"'«d that they will be at the t’liesnut street
I heatre this evening.— lb.
" « vannot omit to notice what we suppose coilld
scarcely have escaped the attention of every one ol (lie
many thousand observers—tho ease—we ought perhan-i !
to siy the elegance with winch Ihe President rode. He |
appeared at home on the hack ol the noble animal—and ’
we dare say was refreshed from the fatigues which the
sitting and standing of the morning ceremonies caused.
e never remember to have seen the military to such
advantage—those ot the fust division have almost all re
c inly undergone some refreshment in the way ot •dress |
and appointments—and several companies horn the adja

and added to the interest or the pageant by their eoldieily

The Hague, (Holland,) April 2.
In several of the Paris papers the monstrous idea has
neen mooted, that the treaty ot compensation so sticcesA
fully negociated l>y Mr. Kives, and afterwards formally ra
lilied both at Washington and St. Cloud, was to ho treated
a* a piece ol waste paper, in detianco of every known prin
ciple ol honesty or lair dealing, I need not say that the
suggestion is treated by our diplomatic men ns a calumny
on the people, quite os much as on the government ol
franco, and tho Marques d’Eyragues, (he French Charge
d Affaires, is the loudest in denouncing it.as utterly incon
sistent with the past conduct of the government, of which
he i* the representative.
The treaty negotiated by Mr. Nelson at N-tpIcs, al
though equally ratilied by the Government ol ihe Two
Sicilies and by that of the United States of America, is
supposed, with more reason, perhaps, to he still in some
danger. Mr. Davezac, your Charge d’Aflaires at this
court, has received a letter from the President by the last
Liverpool packet, directing him to hold himself In readiness
to proceed to Naples on a special mission as soon as he shall
have received Ids instructions from the Department of
State, which he expects to rcarli him from day to day by
Way ol Havre. 1 3
Since my arrival at the Hague I have had the best op
portunilies ot observing the character of your represen
tative, and ol comparing his talents vyjth other members
ol the diplomatic body with whom lie is necessarily in the
daily habit of measuring himself; and now, that lie i-i
about to leave us, L feel mysell at ease in expressing to
you, (he very high opinion 1 have farmed ol Ids intellce
lual capacity. In fact, 1 have no where met with any Di
plomatic agent of tho American Government, who has
not been fully able to assert the dignity and maintain the
interests ot his fellow-citizens, collectively and individu
ally. In his command of the language, and his study ol
the tactics ol diplomacy, Mr. Davezac enjoys advantages
which arc not perhaps possessed, at least in an equal Tie
gree, hy all his brethren. I have heard it stated on the
authority of letters Ironi Mr. Vail, that should any thing
arise to prevent Mr. Livingston from coming to Europe it
is not impossible that Mr. Davezac may be entrusted with
the embassy which was designed lor Ids distinguished re
lative. I am not sulli. iemly acquainted with tho policy
of your cabinet, to know how lar this would be consistent
with the pretensions of other aspirants to diplomatic dis
tinction; but it merit and capacity be the test, 1 am per
suaded that the name of Mr. Davezac will not be lightly
passed over. ” 3
i rie name ol Mr. Van Huron s successor is not vet even
guessed at in London, and don Ins have latterly been
thrown on (lie probability of Mr. Livingston’* assuming
the functions which were lell in aneyance by Mr. Kives.
In a few weeks, my letters will once more be addressed
to you Irom lbiris. When writing Irom the great centre ol
political inlelligiMicr, 1 shall not only enjoy a wider field'
ol observation, but shall be able to treat ot sul.je.ts more
interesting on your side ol the Atlantic, than those which
have latterly occupied ho much ol my attention.
The following information, given through the Courier
| Enquirer, as derived Irani a correspondent, is errone
ous. The Treaty negotiated by Mr. Nolson, at Naples
was not (tally ratified there. It has been ratified as vet
only by the American government, and Mr. Davizae, we
presume, lisa been ordered to proceed to Naples, lor the
purpose of exchanging ratifications.— Globe.
“The I'oaty negotiiut’il by Mr. Nelson at Naples alllmugli ana,ally
ratificil by tho government ul thn Two Micilius and by tliat ol ll,o

still in some danger. .Mr. Daviznc, your Charge rl’Aflaires iuhie

The French Treaty.— I li« Department of Stale has
caused io be iranslaletl and published in ihe Washington
(.lobe, the final report upon the Treaty between France
and the United States, made by M . Humann, the Minis
ler ol finance, to the Chamber oi Deputies on tire 6 )i ol
April.
The report assumes Hint the seizure and confiscation of
French vessel-, made by the United Slates in 180!), in re
prisal^ lor (lie spoliations on ilieir commerce commuted by
(be French, under Ihe Herlin, Milan ami Rainbouillet De
crees, c« topped Ibis government from all right to found
claims against France on account of confiscations made
under there derrees. Exceptions ate, however, admitted
which France cannot deny, and the following arc given
as cases entitled to compensation:
American ves-el- seized and confiscated in virtue of the
Decrees o( Herlin, Milan, and Ramhouillet, before the per
son* interested in them could hove received information of
those Decrees:
American vessel* condemned after the 1st of November
1810, the date of the revocation of those Decrees:
American vcmvIs burnt at sea by the French squadron.
The Report admits that the Government of Bonaparte
bad admitted the ju.lice of these classes of claims, and
that the Government of the Restoration, allur denying us
liability lor the acls of its predere-sor, bad at las) acquies
ced, and was treating on the subject, about the date of ,t
overlhrow. Under the new Government the negotiation
was renewed, as M. Humann expresses it, “under the in
lluence of tho sympathy which that great event railed up
between (lie two nations.” “Roth goveramta♦*,” tw „dds.
“snw there were political reasons which rendered the ac
knowledgment necessary ; that the two nations were in a
great measure united in feelings, and that every obstacle
to a more intimate and reciprocal intercourse ought to !*c
removed.”—This view of the matter was strengthened by
tho conviction that the question had begun to assume in
the United States, the «*pect of a “political” one rather
than one of mere “private pecuniary interest.” These
circumstances, added to tho counter concessions ol the
United Stntep, in hclMKof sundry claim* made !>y French
subjects, and in relation to some disputes between the two
countries arising out of the Treaty ot Cession of l<ouislana
are assigned as the Considerations for the Treaty concluded
in July 1831, and ratified in February last.
Ihe report recapitulates (lie terms of the treaty, wbicii
have been faithfully observed on Ihe part of the United
States, anti calls upon the chambers to provide the neces
sary means. “The sum,” says M. Humann, “is employ
ed in acquitting a debt, the justice of which cannot be
denied; good faith was interested in its admission, and true
poiitiral considerations required that (lie arrangement of
the ftfririir should not he deferred.**

It is unnecessary to repeat the terms of those Decrees,
which are well known; suffice it to say, that the proceed,
logs winch took place under them, however rigorous they
might have been, and ii.jutious to the commerce of „eU
"a,i.0"8 w‘‘rc ««'y intended as reprisals against the
Orders in < ouncil ol the Biitish Cabinet. The United
biatcs, on their part, in 1808, made similar reprisals, by
ordering the seizure and confisratiini ol llriti-b and French
vessels m their ports, as also ol the. productions of those
countries, without regard to the character of the ve-scl
which brought them. It must he acknowledged that
these measures altered the position ol (lie United Stales
as l-r as regards their complaints respecting the Decrees
o! Berlin, Milan and Rauibouillct; am! (heir Government
in undertaking to «!o itselt justice, surrendered all right to
protests or to lound claims, on account of confiscation
iiihiIh iii virtue of tlio«e (Iccrfcs.
There were, however, exceptions, of which justice re
quires the ml mission; and although France could not he
called on lo satisfy all the claims ot the Americans, there
w-ere a certain number which could not with equity be de
* ^ucht lor induce, were the following msen:

lore it* overthrow, that an arrangement aimilar to that now

to examine them,it the United States would, on their part,
listen to tho demands which might be made oil them by

Indeed, no* only had many claims of a pecuniary na

ed on the same terms as American, in the ports of the
United States; and the French Government thereupon
claimed lor French ves-els the suite privilege in virtue ol
, 6 ,,.,,y of Session above cited. This was refused by
the Cabinet ni Wa.-hing'on, which denied that the 8th Ar
ticle ol that 1 reaty could he so interpreted, and moreover
attempted to shew that as hy the Consul* ion of tlie Unit
ed States the whole country was under the same regula
tions as to commerce and nav’g ition, such admission would
h.- granting a monopoly, or exclusive advantages to Lou
t tana in the trade wuh France, which would be incompa
tih*e with the r system of Government.
, At length tlie United States, though always contesting
the principle on which our demands were made, ottered to
allow an important reduction in the duties on the impor
tation of our wines.
, „ J*"* w"s ilteafate of things when the revolution of July,
I -•> , interrupted the negotiation, which was, however,
soon renewed, tinder the influence ol the sympathy which
that great event called up between the two nations.
1 he chief difficulty was, as to tlie amount of indemnifi
cations to lie paid hy F'rance. which tlie United Slates
estimated at seventy-five millions of francs. But, as in
this ca«e the length of time which hud elapsed, with vari
ous oilier circumstances, mulcted it impossible to make a
just estimate, all dial could he done was to compound in a
Iriendly manner, and adjust tlie business as lair a9 pos
sible. r
Both Governments saw that there were political reasons
which rend 'red an acknowledgment necessary; that the
two nations were in a groat measure united in leeling, and
that every obstacle to a more intimate aud a reciprocal in
tercourse, ought to be removed.
I he American claims, urged every year in congress,
and constantly alluded loin the messages of the President,
were at length considered hy the people of tlie United
■- tales, rather as a political question than otto ol mere private
pecuniary interest. Tlie government ol tlie U. States was
obligaed to press (lie demands, and that ol FTnncc could
not refuse to notice them: above all, since the Americans
declared their willingness to do justice to the complaints on
our side. Under these considerations, the treaty of July
till, 18.fl, was concluded, and tlie ratifications exchanged
at 'V ashington on the 2d of F'ehruary last.
By this treaty, the claims of Americans were admitted
to iho amount ol twenty-live millions of francs, being just
one-third ol the original demand; and of this sum one mil •
lion and a h ill is to lie employed in sati-lying the claims of
French citizens on the American government.
* be United Slates on their part, in lieuol tlie privileges
secured to our shipping in the ports of Louisiana, by the
Sth article ol tlie treaty ol Cession have consented to a mo
dification ol their tariff in favor of Frenrh wines, which
tor ten years succeeding lo the 2d ol February last, are to
he admitted at duties lower than those imposed oil other
wines.
Finally. France admils the long siaj-Io cottons or tlie
United Slates on the same terms with (lie shot t staple.
8urh are the piim ipal provisions ol a eonventfiti which
was absolutely indispensable; and which terminating all
causes ol irritation on either hand, give place to those sen
timent-, ot amity, which are so natural in tlie relative situa
tions id the two countries, and io which our glorious ravo
I(ifion h»s ma fe an acct'.'sion.
It is true, that this treaty adds another charge (o the
Budget, lull the simii iscinployt d in acquitting a debt, the
justice of which cannot he denied; good lattli was interest
in the admission, and true political considerations required
that the arrangement of tlie affair should not lie deferred.
Moreover, the provisions are not exclusively to the advan
tage ol tlie U. States; the engagements are reciprocal, and
the rights ol French ciliz. n< to whom the American go
vernment was in de hi, are .-eruied by it.
Ever since the exchange of the ratifications, the United
States have faithfully observed all the stipulations relating
to the lowering ol duties on F’roneli wines. We, on our
part, have begun bv admitting their long staples cottons
on the same terms with the short staple. We have now
(° fulfil liie financial part by paying the sums agreed upon
as indemnification, not only to the Americans, but also to
F'rench claimants ol the United States. Fur this purpose
we have the honor of submitting to (he Chamber the fol
lowing BILL.
