FRENCH sPoLIATIoNs.-No. XVII.

During The invasion of Egypt by Bonaparte, in
The year 1899, he entered into contract with q
CONNER cial house at Algiers to supply the French
army with grain.
I hese supplies it appears were regularly furnish
ed to very great amount; but difficulties having
arisen with respect TO settlement Of their acc units
a large sum remained due to them, at the time Bo-
naparte left Egypt
Finding no prospect Of obtaining their lawful de
mand the House Algiers at length applied to
their own government to interpose its authority in
supporting their claim.
Ii is understood hat Napoleon offered to indem.
niIy them, provided the Algerine government would
adopt some hostile measures against England.
BE this however as it may, under various pre-
tests. payment was never made during Napoleon's
reign.
Alter the restoration Of he Bourbons, this claim
was renewed by the Algerine government and vas
eventually admitted, and provision made for il in q
treaty between France and Algiers.-The French
Minister Of Finance, in his annual budget Tor The
year 1890, asked and obtained oil the two Chambers
grant Of six millions OF Francs, to carry into IF
feet this treaty other terms to provide for this
claim, lChich Wds actually paid.
Thus we see, that not only the subjects Of all the
European monarchs have been indemni6ed by
France, but the pratcal government OF Algiers
has obtained indie unity for its uhectS whilst .he
citizens of The United States, who have been rob
bed of millions of the fruits Of their industry are

FRENCH SPOLIATIONS.-NO. XVI,
When the allied powers occupied Paris in 1914,
they demanded Of France compensation Tor various
spoliaons committed upon the property Of their
subjects, as we'll as indemnity due to them for sup
plies furnished her late government
The French ministry admitted the Justice Of
these demands, and provision was made in The trea
ties with each Of the European powers 10 indemnify
their subjects.
Belgium, which was but Just incorporated into
Holland, was admitted 10 share this indemnity.

considered temporary, Messrs Parish & Go. dispo-

Fate OF the residue OF the cargo Of the Hiram and
ether American property sequesered at Antwerp.
1t was all ssd at public auction and the proceeds
paid into the CasSe d'amortssement at Paris. This
Cotton produced 100000 francs.
The sum awarded by France to Belgium, was
placed at the disposal Of CommIs. oners TO asceT

MIR. Fillietaz applied Belgian subject, to this

which he has displayed on the Erie Canal.
The enterprise aud spirit exhibited BY those en-

amount OF sde that will pass through it. A canal

From his lonely grave by the sea washed sand

For he could not rest in foreign land
With the red cross waving DER him:
So we covered his breast with the stars of light:
In the flag that he loved SO dearly,
When he met the proud foe in his might,
And the battle followed CHEEKY.
With mourning Gag hafmast displayed,
We reused our drums to meet him,
And fore and aft we stood arrayed,
With minute guns to meet him:
While memory showed him ever nigh
AS he looked when fame had crowned him,
With victory beaming from his eye,
And freedom cheering round him.
Like some bright flower that meets its doom,
Where the searching winds have hasted;
Like some young pine whose mountain bloom,
The bolts Of Heaven have wasted -
SO fell the beautiful and brave,
In the zenith of his glory,
With nations tears to wet bis grave,
And embalm his name in story.
Then strew his bier with early flowers,
And wave the laurel DER him,
Who made the seas proud Mistress ours"
