During the Revolutionary War, the French decided to send substantial help to the American freedom-fighters only in 1777, several years after the start of hostilities. Not wishing to support a doomed cause, and waiting to see how spirited the Americans would (and could) resist British force, the French were convinced by the American victory at Saratoga that lending support would be a worthy investment in American and their own efforts against the British.

They didn't directly. England was involved in a war with France when the American revolution began. It was mostly the French war that prevented England from sending enough manpower over to crush the colonists rebellion.
France had a debt of $11 million because of supplies and other military service at the end of the American Revolution.
The American Revolution was over before 1799 when Napoleon became the First Consul of France.
