Domingo, who have NOT renowned their quality
OF subjects Of the Government of France, will be
admitted 10 claim naturalization for the property
which they prove either to have been in their pos
session. or TO which they prove their right, in the
direct line, ascending or descending.
I'd. In the absence of titles or proofs of property
in possession OF claimants, those who pretend to
have eventual rights therein ought to wait till the
law, which will be proposed by the Governme
to the Chambers, determine the means of supplyi,g
the loss of said titles, by particular acts, by in
quests, or by other means.
3D. The proofs Of identity of claimants might as
appears to me, be obtained by declarations, Judi
cai atestations, and atidavs, which, to avoid ex-
pense, may be received by the Consuls of the
French Government in the different port, of the
United States.
4ih. In case of the death of the colonial pro-
prietor or OF the claimant, the heir direct will be
| admitted to claim the indemnity, but the payment
| IN France can only be made to those duly en-
! powered, and without prejudice to the rights of
creditors, in the proportion 10 which they shall be-
come entitled under the law which il contem-
plated.
9th. On this question, i refer to the answer given
| to The Sd.
9th. i think that may say, that the payment of
the indemnity will be made by fflhs yearly as soon
as the sums, for which the government Of Hayti is
| engaged, shall be realized, and that this paymen,
VIII be made in specie. As to the conjec.ural pro-
portion OF the indemnity, it would he presumption
| In me to hazard an opinion.
9TH. TO TINS | answer, that according to the
project OF the law which will be forthwith submit
ted to the Chambers, the limitations will be pre-
scribed, Tor the colonists in France, probably a
year; tor those in the other States of Europe
eighteen months, and two years for those who are
out OF Europe. Those limitations will run from
the day OF the FORMULATION Of the law.
oih have reason to think that the future law
will also provide for this
