COM ofa Letter from Mr.. Brown, 10 the
Secretary Of State.
The Hon. Henry Clay,
Secretary of State, Washington.
PARIS, Jan. 9, 1926.
Sir: on the 30th ult. called on the
Count de Villele, President Of the Council,
and Minister of Finances, with the design OF
obtaining some additional information re-
specting the claims of such of the ancient
colonists of st. Domingo as are now residing
in the United States. He informed me that
the doubt which had been suggested by the
Commissioner named to take the preparato-
nv measures, to give effect to the Ordinance,
as to the right of those residing in foreign
countries to claim any portion OF the indem-
nitv, had, on careful examination of the
question, been removed, and that they would
receive their full share of the sum stipulated
for in that Ordinance. He observed tnat
the principle adopted in the law which pass
ed at the last session Of the Chambers tor
granting an indemnity to the EN- grants, was
wholly inapplicable tn the case of the colo
nists Of St. Domingo that in the first case
the indemnity was allowed and paid by
France, aud that every Proprietor residing
within the Kingdom, not even exempting
those who received the indemnity. contrib
uted portion of the amount ; whereas, in
the latter instance, the indemnity was allow
ed, and would be paul bv the Haytien Gov
ernment as compensation to the former in
habitants of the Island for the loss of their
property The rules to he followed in OBJ
tanning proofs, and in making the distribu-
ton, he observed, were not vet fixed, but he
recommended it as proper that the claim
ants should collect all the testimony in their
power, whether documentary or by witness
es, all of which he said, if transmitted to
France, should be received and carefully
considered. To facilitate the collection of
testimony, he observed that it mightbe taken
bcfore any of the Authoritics of the General
or State Governments, who by our laws
were competent to that duty, and that the
signatures might be authenticated as in 9TH
er instances where documents are legalised
for the purpose Of being received in foreign
countries.
He requested me to assure the President,
that his Maicsty's Government entertained
lively sentiments of gratitude for the kind
and compassionate reception and treatment
which the unfortunate sufferers Of st. Do
mingo had experienced in the United States;
that hc highly appreciated this renewed
proof of our sympathy in their misfortunes;
and that he would feel great satisfaction in i'm
parting to nc from time to time such infer
nation as might assist them in establishing
their claims. informed him that was in
structcd to say, that the Government of the
United States would feel great pleasure in
giving all possible assistance in promoting a
purpose at once so just and so benevolent
have the honor to be, with grea, respect,
Sir, your most obedient and humble servant,
