A claim Of a citizen of the United States for
indemnity for spdliAti6ns committed on the
high seas by tbe French authorities, III the ex-
srcife Of a bellgefept power against Mexico,
has been met by The Govcrnment of France
with a proposition 10 defer settlement until. a
mutual convention for the adjustment of all
M claims Of citizens and sHbjects of both countries,
arising out ofthe recentwars on this eontihont,
shall be agreed upon by the two countries. The
suggestion is not deemed unreasonable, but il
belongs 10 Congress to direct the manner iu
rhich claims for indemnity by foreigners, al
well "a by citizens Of the United States, arising
out Of the late eitll war shall be adjudicated
and determinsd. Ihave no doubt that the sub
