General La Fayette's claims under the late law of
indemnity for confiscated property during the French
revolution amount, it is said, to 600,000 francs. Should
he receive that sum, about 120,000 dollars, it will make
a considerable addition to the donations of this country,
and render the decline of his life almost as affluent as
the commencement of it. It is understood that he dce
not go to France fot a permanent residence there, bu'
ir.tends to return again to the United States.—Arne. Pa.
