[Footnote 3192: Napoleon, "Correspondance," letter of September 5,
1795. "National and émigré property is not dear; patrimonies are
priceless."--Archives nationales, cartons 3144 to 3145, No.1004,
missions of the councillors of state, year IX. (Report by Lacuée on
the seven departments of the division of the Seine.) "The proportion of
value, in Seine, between national and patrimonial properties is from 8
to 15."--In Eure, national property of every kind is sold about 10 %.
off, and patrimonial at about 4 %. off. There are two sorts of national
property, one of first origin (that of the clergy), and the other of
second origin (that of the émigrés). The latter is much more depreciated
than the former. Compared with patrimonial property, in Aisne, the
former loses a fifth or a quarter of its value and the latter a third;
in Loiret, the former loses a quarter and the latter one-half; in
Seine-et-Oise the former loses one-third and the latter three-fifths; in
Oise the former is at about par, the latter loses a quarter.--Roederer,
III., 472 (December 1803). Depreciation of national property in
Normandy: "But little is bought above 7 %. off; this, however, is the
fate of this sort of property throughout France."--Ibid., III., 534
(January 1809): "In Normandy, investments on patrimonial property bring
only 3 %., while State property brings 5 %. "--Moniteur (January 4,
1825). Report of M. de Martignac: "The confiscated property of the
emigrés finds its purchasers with difficulty, and its commercial value
is not in proportion to its real value."--Duclosonge, former inspector
of domains, "Moyens de porter les domaines nationaux à la valeur des
biens patrimoniaux," p.7. "Since 1815, national property has generally
been bought at a rate of income of 3 %. or, at the most, 4 %.
The difference for this epoch is accordingly one-fifth, and even
two-fifths."]
