Louis Philippe, you know, ratified
The Treaty, and pledged thus his word !;

In this l was greatly mistaken,
For those chaps, seeing Rives made such brags,
Their faith in our claims was so shaken,
They refused to open their bags!
Louis Phillippe's poor sort of king,
Blair says If I'd had his place.
I'd a devilish soon settled the thing,
By buying the whole Deputy race
was wrong, will own, when drew
The bill for eigh millions, at stght,
The money, to be sure, was then due,
But, the Deputies having the right
To haul the king over the Goals,
And refuse to give him the cash;
"a pretty Id mean set of soulsD
own that my condact was rash
In drawing before had heard
The Treaty had had their revision;
But why don't the king keep his word
do like man of decision
When the Deputies rejected the Treaty,
He sent, 10 be sure, straight ship
To say non obstazs' the defeat, he
Would let no opportunity slip,
Bot would at 'em again before long,
That he'd get me the cash without fail,
When his party" got rather more strong
And for il his word gave US ball.
own that he could do no more,
Twas all I'd right TO expect;
But TO me il prove great bore
For my plans ON the Bank were all checked.
/ sold, like fool that l was,
The Bill to my arch-enemy-Nck,
Who claims-the law gives it hin-po-,
Ten per cent damages slick
Another mistake that made,
Was sending old Livingston out
A peevish, tho clever, old blade,
Annoyed by dyspepsia and govt.
The fact Is, gave him the birth,
Cause he spoke French and was poor,
had no other reason earth,
Yes, one, and the best am sure
/ found him a Bat ia my scay,
For he's too old to learn any new tricks;
But as its turn'J out, may say,
He'd best staid at home to split sticks
For, instead of stirring abroad,
And letting me have all the news,
He was most of the time, by the Lord,
Kept still In the house by the blues
So, thus BY his letters misled,
Iimagin'd the king dissember
And came ouI, piping hot, as you've read,
In my message TO you IN December.
did not intend to offend
Either France, or IFS Citizen King,
But merely then said, as a friend
That the only way left them to bring
The account to a close, was, to lay
Our hands on French vessels we met -
twas menace'-but, I'll candidly say,
don't wonder they got in pet!
As soon as the king thought he had
A majority, TO vote Is the cash,
He, like an honest, strair-forward lad
(f he'd push'd 'em before, he'd been rash,)
Ask'd them again for the dusr,''
But, Just ere they call'd DER the roll,
A fellow-(he deserves TO be curst,
For Pm sure he's mean, dirty soul,)
Jumps I'D, and an amendment tacks on
That, to heal the pride Of the nation
Ere the money was paid, Monsieur Jackson
Should give, of his speech, explanation"
The only Minister present,
For fear OF losing the bill,
Was obliged, though not at all pleasant,
To swallow the id fellows pill!
And, of course, again baulk'd the king,
In his honest intentions to pay,
For he cannot, like me, the poor thing
Have every thing all bis own way.
Livingston, tho they gave him hint
To take up his bed and off walk,
When my Message got out all in print,
Like fool, stay'd to have some more talk.
He spun out a dev'lish long yarn,
THE material TO be sure's good enough,)
But the Frenchmen, not willing to . larn"
From one who had treated them rough,
Refused to answer bis letter,
And, tween you and ], they were night,
For when order'd away, he'd done BETTER
To have ta'en himself quick ost o. sight.
When he found the king wouldn't hold
Intercourse with him again,
And, being by all his friends told
Twas useless any more TO remain,
He at length pack'd up his traps,
And, cursing the French, left gay Paris;
I'll no more send abroad such old chaps,
For my measures they always einbarras.
