Sorry, that deal was made with the French royal family, not the republic. It's null and void.
It doesn't matter. The debt was repaid in 1795 by James Swan, a banker who assumed the debt from the U.S.
If you transfer debts and loans they're still valid, it's what the ussr Russia exchange did.
The debt was already paid anyways
You do realize that I was using the argument that the US gov't used before Swan paid it off privately, right? It may be a joke, but I do know that much of early American history.
