The claims of our citi zens are for mere j notice. They are for re paration of unquestionable wrongs, for in demnity or restitution of property taken trom them, or destroyed, without shadow or color ot right. The claim under the Bth ntide ot the Louidana convention, has nothing to rest upon, but a forced construc tioo of the terms of (he stipulation, which the American government considered, as totahy without foundation. These are ele ments not be. coupled together in the same negotiation, and, while we yet trust to the iinal sense of justice to France, for the ad justment of I lie righteous claims of our citi zens, we still hope that their unquestionable character will, ultimately, secure to them u consideration unincumbered with other dis cussions.

Ihe claims of the citizens of the U. •States upon the French government, have been of many years standing ; often repre sented by successive miuistois of the Uni ted Slates, and particularly by Mr. Galla tin, during a residence of seven years, with a perspicuity ot statement, and a force of evidence, widen could leave to the govern ment ot the United Slates no desire but (bat they should have been received with friendly a'lenrtoo, and no regret bu; that they should have proved inetllctual. 1 lie justice ot thejgf claims his never been denied by tfgd-,while the United States are adjustment, sinls|Sfa >ills f uxcful claims ot the subjects nltions, have been freely admitted ami liquidated. A long and has al ready taken place between the two govern incuts, in relation to the claim of France, under the Bth article of the Louisiana con vention ; the result of which lias been a thorough conviction on the part of the A merican Government, that the claim has no foundation in the Treaty whatever. The • reasons tor this conviction have been so ful ly set forth in the dis;us>ion, that it was not anticipated a further examination of it would be thought desirable. As a subject ot discussion, however, the American Gov ernment are willing to resume it, whenever it may suit the views ot Prince, to present further considerations relating to it ; but, while convinced that the claim is entirely • without foundation, they cannot place it on 1 a looting ot concurrent negotiation with claims ot their citizens, the justice of which (is so unequivocal, that they have not even 1 been made the subject of denial. From the attention which his Excellency the Viscount de Chateaubriand has intitftat- P«‘l his willingness to give to the considera 'jtion of these claims, the President imlul jges the hope that they will be taken into ! view upon their own merits: and in that ' hope the representative of tne United States 1 at Paris, will, at an early day, be instruct ’ ed to present them again, to the undivided ' and conditional sense of the justice of 1 France.

U will oe obvious that neither of these measures can be re sorted to, in a spirit of amity with Spain, otherwise than in a firm belief, tltat neither the government of Spain, nor the govern ment of either of the islands, has the power to suppress that atrocious practice, and that the United Slates interpose their aid for the 'accomplishment of an objecfwhich is of equal importance to them as well as to us. Acting on this principle, the facts which justify this proceeding being universally known and felt, by all engaged in commerce in that sea, it may fairly bo presumed, that neither will the government of Spain, nor the government of either of these islands, complain of a resort to either of those mea sures, or to all of them, should such resort be necessary. It is, therefore, suggested, that a power commensurate with cither resource be granted to the Executive, to be exercised according to his discretion, and as circum stances may imperiously require. It is ho ped that the manifestation of policy so deci sive-will produce the happiest result; that it will rid these seas and this hemisphere of this practice. This hope is strengthened by the belief, that the government of Spain and the government of (he islands, particularly of Cuba, whose chief is known here, will ; faithfully co-operate in such gieasares as may be necessary for the accomplishment of this very important object. To secure , such co-operation, will be the earnest desire, , and, of c urse, the zealous and perseverinn effort of the Executive. JAMES MONROE. V .
