We understand that serious misunder-
standing exists between our government
and that of France relative 70 the tonnage
du y on French vessels arriving in ports in
louisiana. The louisiana treaty stipulates,
that ior twelve years after the ratification,
French vessels shall be admitted on the
same terms as those of our own-and al.
ter that period on terms of the most ia
vored Datons. By the late law OF Con-
gress, French vessels are required to pay
tonnage duty Il Die ton, which our
government extends to Louisiana as well
as all other parts OF the Union. The
French government resists the payment of
this duty under the Louisiana treaty. We
further learn, that an active correspond.
cree between the French Minister and
our Secretary of State, has lately taken
place at " ashington. Ibid.
