the friendly connection subsisting between the
French and English governments, to the effect
tina, the following words be added to the clause:
But in order tina, these relations be consolids-
ted, i, is necessary that the two governments,
while acting in concert in the circumstances in
which their interests are common, guard with
care in the two worlds the full Independence
, of their political action Tho honorable dep
uty, in developing this amendment, insisted
that France acted subordnately to England
with regard to the affair Of America. He ar.
|gued tina: such conduct was contrary 10 the
policy followed by France from time immsmo.
! rial, and that il was in opposition TO the true
| interests Of France. He believed firmly that
war would not burst out, but still he considered
that in the interest even Of peace, France nigh,
be declared to remain perfectly independent, to
choose whatever course she deemed most id.
vlsable. NJ. Gulzot, in reply, said that tho
