The French can't logistically beat the the United States. If they had the navy to do so they would use it to defeat Great Britain.

"Although Napoleon 'lost' the war at sea effectively from 1805, his naval strategy against Great Britain remained surprisingly effective. ... By keeping his surviving squadrons ready for sea (or capable of being rapidly made so) at Brest, Rochfort, or Toulon, he kept the Royal Navy at full stretch on blockade duties, and the task of hunting down a small French break-out force was incommensurately expensive in terms of vessels and effort." (Chandler - "Dictionary of the Napoleonic Wars" p 177)
