Opis

Excerpt from Court of Claims: French Spoliations; Opinions of the Court, Delivered May 17 and 24, 1886 France, especially, and (here is the key of the negotiation) if she favors us now, for our trade is rapidly increasing, our population is rapidly in creasing, we are waxing strong and rich, with a great future before us, why not step in now, even at the cost of war with England, a war which under any circumstances you momentarily expect. French popular sentiment was with us, but to the popular clamor, delicately excited by the astute diplomacy of Franklin and his colleagues, was opposed the clear and calm judgment of the King's advisers, men who conceived it their duty to obtain for their master every advantage possible from the struggling colonies at the least possible expense and risk. Supplies and stores were furnished but the assistance was not acknowledged; munitions of war found their way across the Atlantic while the fact was denied to England, and, although some of these very supplies came from the arsenals of the Government, that fact even was denied to our own representatives who had forwarded them, and who, as matter of course, knew as much of the transaction as the minister who permitted and disavowed it. Day after day without tiring did Dumas, Deane, Franklin, and Lee press for open action on the part of France. Steadily did they receive promises and secret aid but always were they postponed as to the great step which should produce France openly to the world as the ally of the colonies and the avowed enemy of England. Before the eyes of Count Vergennes was successfully dangled the bait of a practically exclusive share in American commerce, but still he hoped to secure this advantage without an open rupture with England.
