The right Of the citizens Of the United States to
indemnity from France, il is presumed has oeeh
fully established. The next subject to consider IS
her ability to make restitution
A most mistaken idea exists in the minds OF many
OF our countrymen that France is 80 exhsus'eo oy
wars that she is unable TO inde"n U.s.
II is true, the allied powera imposed upon her
heavy contributions but the greater part OF the
money paid to them, was expended within hei own
territory 49,
| France, possessed of thirty five millions OF inhao
litants-wlth the finest climate and the most ier'iie
soil in Europe-wilh popula,ion' as ingenious as
indus,rious--as dislngulshed in arts as !" arms
though she may have been momcntarily depressed
can neuer be poor. :,
Twelve years Of peace and prosperity have enabled
France TO regain her wealth and recover her strength
She has risen like a giant, refreshed by his slum-
bers.
| No greater proof can be required OF her resour
ce. than knowledge of the fact, that her annual
revenue amounts to, from eight hundred and h'ty 10
nine hundred millions Of francs-equa 10 from one
hundred and sXty, to one hundred ana seventy NIL
lions of dollars which is collected without difficulty
| This immense annual revenue IS not liable 10
auctuate, as il is principally derived from internal
tar alton the duties accrung from foreign commerce,
not furnishing more than eight per cent OF this sum
| Admitting therefore the amount OF our claims
upon France, since the Louisiana Convention, 10 be
fifteen millions Of doIlats--it would not require the
tenth mart of one wears revenue to disc barge the
whole OF Them.
The French ministry could obtain loan any day
they pleased suffici, mt to pay our whole demands
Nothing therefore is wanting on their part but .
sense oijustice.
AT present, there is but little pro'pec, Of their be
imp influenced by such a consideration.
Appeal after appeal has been made 10 their Justice
but VII houi effect.

are before the public, who competent to Judge oil

rights.

If il 10 not generally the case, 1t is very often so
that the Judges and the Bar are divided IN opinion
and there is no certain and invaluable standard, to
which reference can be had in order TO determine
what are really the laws OF the land. Should this con-
tnue to be long the case, in an age IN which there
are oxmations to certainty and truth constantly
