Marbois said that this led to ' ' something important that had been cursor- ily mentioned to him at St. Cloud, but, as my house was full of company, he thought I had better call upon him any time before 11 that night. " Liv- ingston was now too much alive to the prodigious import of the matter in hand to wait until 11 at night. So, soon as Monroe took leave he hastened to the house of Marbois. After discussing the equivocations of Talleyrand and the Consul's blunt proposal for us to hand over a... hundred million francs, pay our own claims and take the whole country, Livingston, after a polite and politic dis- avowal of any anxiety to seek a larger expansion of territory, cautiously remarked, "We would be ready to purchase, provided the sum was reduced to reasonable limits. " Marbois said if we would name sixty millions and take upon us the Amer- TREATY OF APRIL 30, 1803 113 ican claims, to the amount of twenty more, he would try how far this would be accepted. Our minister declared that sum was greatly beyond our means and wished Bonaparte reminded that the whole region was liable to become the property of England.
