Louisiana Purchase- Newspaper Post

The most important intelligence (knowledge) with which we present our readers this day, is the sale of  Louisiana by the Napoleon of France to the US government. This event will definitely be advantageous to our country; thought it may cost many millions. One condition in the purchase of this land is money owed to our (US) citizens for losses during the French Revolution, and by the unjust (illegal) holding of property (goods) in French ports and towns. Four million dollars is to be paid back by the French. The US government probably asked for the territory in cash as this way the money owed to our citizens would be repaid. The annexation (control) of this piece of land to the United States, is of incalculable (great) promise.
