Nathaniel Cutter wanted relief from being re-taxed on goods that left Massachusetts where he had paid tax, and then returned to the same port with the same goods, because he was harrassed by the British and French, and turned away in the Dominican Republic. The committee wisely wrote: "Your Committee, however, cannot find any good reason for relieving him against consequences of a risque which every exporter ought to calculate for himself." Cutter would continue to take risks, suppling the French in Saint-Domingue, and a claim was allowed him in 1803 by the American Commission in Paris for unpaid costs by the French (See Greg H.

Beaumarchais, a wealthy French merchant, was a strong proponent of aiding the Americans during the Revolution. He was instrumental in obtaining and transporting arms and ammunition for the Americans under the firm name of Roderique Hortalez & Co. However, there was some confusion about whether the supplies were gifts from the French government, and Beaumarchais was never properly compensated. His heirs were finally paid $800,000 in 1835, only a portion of the actual amount owed Beaumarchais. This pamphlet relates to ongoing investigations of the Beaumarchais claims, at a time when the United States government believed its debt to be only $41,119.75. Scarce. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 11704.
