The President of The Uniled States CONSIDERS
that the bill relative to the American claims shou'"
have been presented within tbht fortnight. ea'N
not und rsl'nd the propriey OF this repfoaen' NC
bil explicitly announced IN the speech from mo
throne, on the very day in which the Chambers
met. This was ali that was required TO make
known The opinion and design Of the Government,
and 10 prevent that species oil moral prescription 10
winch absolute silence would have gwen authority.
| With regard to the mere act Of presentation, so
long before discussion could possibly take place,

lraocii ary TIA, II might have DER ased the UNA

| President Jackson expresses his regret that your

| K,ny's Government 10 call tn. Chambers together
| at an earlier day. How soon soever they may
nave bcen called. the simplest calculation will
serve to shew tha, the discussion in our Chambers
could not hive been known the u. s ntes at the
opening Of Congress- and the Presidents regret Is
| therefore unfounded Moreover, the same obsta.
ccs and TIC same administrative reasons which
rendered a real session impossible during the
| months of July or August were almost equally OPP
posed To s loklng Place before the last week OF the
year The head OF Government like that Of the
United States, should be able to comprehend moe
clearly than any one else those moral impossible
Ties which arise from the fixed character Of tn"
prime pies of a constitutional regime, and TO see hat
IN such a system the Administration is subjec, to
constant and regular forms, from which no special
interest, however important, can authorize dev'a
ton.
1t is, then, evident, that, far from meriting the
repronch If failing to comply wi h its engagements,
far from having deferred, either Voluntarily or
rom necl gencc, the accomplishment Of its prom
scs. the Kings Government, ever occupied in the
design of fulfilling ,hem was only arrested for =
moment by insurmountable obstacles. This ap
pears from the explanations now given; and must
add that tho greater part of them have already been
presented by Mi Serrurier TO the Government Of
the United States, which, by its silence, seemed TO
scknow edge their fuil value.
1t is worthy Of remark, that on the LIST Of Deem
Der, the day on which President Jackson sisncd the
Mess &C TO Congress, and remarked with severity
that nearly month was TO elapse before the as.
Sending OF the Chambers they were in reality as
semblcd in virtue of a roycl ordinance, calling
tn en- together at period earlier than thai FIRST pro-
posed. Their asscm0ase was not indeed inmc-
lately followed by the prescntment OF The bill re-
Iative 10 the American claims bu, you, sir. know
better than any other person, the causes Of
this new delay. You yourself requested us not to
endanger the success of this importan, affair, by
ningling It's discussion with debates Of a d ftren
nature, as their nero coincidence might have the
fleet of bringing o her influences into play, than
those by which it should naturally be governed
By this request, you clearly showed that You had,
with your judic'nns spirit, correctly appreciated the
situation OF things, AMI the means Of advancing the
cause which You were called to defend. Aud per
init me TO add that the course which you have
thought proper to adopt on this point IS the best
lusufca' Of that which we ourselves have for
mouths been pursuing, in obedience to tn.
necessities inherent in political organization,
and in cJdrr insure, far os lies in power,
the success of the new attempt which No were Pre-
pared to make in he Chamber.
However III 5 may be. tne Kings Government,
IRE from the internal difficulties, the force
which you have yourself so formally admitted was
preparing to present the bill for giving sanction
to the treaty OF July 4h, when the strange mes
s,sc of December Is, came, and Obliged il again
10 deliberate on the course which II should pursue
The Kings Government, though deeply wound
ID by the impulatinns TO which | will not give
name, having demonstrated their purely gra,ui'ous
character still does wish retrca, absolutely
from a Determination, already taken, in spirit OF
good faith md justice. How great soevcr may be
The difficulties caused by the provocation which
President Jackson has given, and by TIE irritation
which II has pr, durcd in the public mind il will
sk the Chambers for an pp'opriaion of twenty
five millions, IN o, der to meet the engagements oil
July 4h But, at the same time, his M jesty has
cons deTeJ it due 10 his own dignity, no longer to
leave his Minister exposed to hear language so Of
fensive to Fr,nce. NJ. Serrurler will receive or.
ders to return To France.
Such, Sir, are the determinations Of which I am
CHARGED Immediately to Inform you, in order tina,
you may make them known 10 the Government, Of
the United States, and thu; you may yourself take
those measures which may seem 10 you TO be the
natural consequences of this commu nicatIon. The
passports which you may desire are, therefore, at
your disposition.
Accept, Sir, the assurance Of my high consider
