tion of Iturbide, the republic of Mexico granted a pension of 40,000 francs to his widow and children. The Ex-Emperor paid the forfeit of his life to the laws of the country which he so idly invaded: but his wife and children were innocent; and the country, in its generosity and its justice, has taken care that they shall not want.
It is rather with the view to let our readers know the nature of the topics and the course of discussion which the Abbé has pursued in these volumes, than to enter into the argument ourselves, that we have dwelt even thus long on them. Heaven forbid that the question of indemnity to disarmed emigrants should ever have occasion to be argued with a view to practical application here: but we have had our rebellions, our forfeitures, and our confiscations, in former times; and acts of grace and restoration have, at periods far remote from the aggression, occasionally emanated from the throne, without throwing a burden on the country.
About twenty pages at the close of these volumes are devoted to a consideration of the claims which the planters of St. Domingo may have on France, for indemnity on account of the losses that they have sustained in the various insurrections and revolutions, which have happily terminated in the independence of that island. Their case is quite different from that of the emigrants. The colonists never bore arms against their country, and have forfeited no claims: but, on the other hand, the Abbé contends that they never had any to forfeit. His award is accordingly given against them.
We believe that some legislative measure is going forwards in France, and perhaps may be completed before the publication of this article, relative to the indemnity of emigrants. What the particulars are, we do not know: but, from what we are enabled to gather from the French papers, it will not much surprize us if some compromise takes place between the plaintiffs and the defendants in this cause, which will not be very satisfactory to either.
Since the preceding sheets were printed, the Paris newspapers have again asserted that the Memoirs of FOUCHÉ, reviewed in Art. X. of this Appendix, are factitious; and that they proceed from the pen of M. Alphonse de Beauchamp, a well known author. We still suspect, however, that they are not mere fabrications.
