Event Details
The Government of Great-Britain progresses in doing justice to American citizens who suffered by illegal depredations on their property from English cruisers. In the British House of Commons on June 14, an additional supply of 150,000 dollars was voted for monies awarded under the American treaty. The 600,000l. paid earlier by England was asserted by Jacobins to cover only interest on captured property, but now advances toward the principal. Commentary questions if avails from Buonaparte's plundering will discharge principal or interest of millions robbed by French republicans.
