The French spoliation Bill Vetoed.

On Saturday last President Pierce returned to the
House of Representatives in which it originated the
bill to make provision for the ascertainment and
satisfaction of the claims of American citizens for
spoations committed by the French prior to the 1st
day of July 1901. The bill is accompanied by
message assigning the Presidents reasons for decn
ing to afix his signature to the bill. The President
takes the ground that the eminent statesmen by
whom the treaties with France were negotiated at
the beginning of the century, and who were fully
cognizant OF the merits of the class of claims now set
up, recognized the obligation of the United
States in the premises; among these statesmen are
insanced Jefferson Madison, and Monroe;-further,
that the United States did not waive any claims in
consideration of any public advantage to be obtained
n the form of similar waiver by France that on
the other hand, all claims for which satisfaction
could be obtained from France were included in the
treaty for the cession of Louisiana, which made an
allowance Of twenty millions of francs by way of a
deduction from the price paid by for the cesson of
that territory by France which considered as
ample provision for all such claims as France could
be induced to admit were justly due, and they were
accordingly discharged in full with interest by the
United States in the stead and behalf of France
After a full reference to. and recapuaton of,
the diplomatic arrangements and treaty stipulations
bearing upon the subject, the President concludes
his message in the following words
Of that the bill proposes only provide
Naturalization for such valid claims Of citizens the Uni
ted States against France shall have
for and embraced in of the treaties enumerated But
excluding all such claims it excludes all in fact for which
during the negotiations France could be persuaded
that she in any wise liable to the United States or our
citizens. What remains And for what is five millions
appropriated In view Of what has been said there would
seem to be ground which to raise liability of the
States unless be the assumption that the United
States to be considered the insurers and the guaantor
all claims of whatever nature which any individual citizen
may have against foreign nation.
