west Louisiana TO Spain, was 70 COM

>cession Of east Louisiana to England,
was to make, together with Florida,
an equivalent for Cuba, which, on that
condition, was restored to Spain.
France coded the whole for the benefit
.ofSpain. And Spain having recov-
cred Florida by the treaty of 1888,
having herself ultimately lost nothing
lit is natural consequence that
France in obtaining retrocession,
SHOULD take back all she had lost, for
