SPECIAL MESSAGE.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives.:


Genhemen-I have the pleasure of informing you
that Louis PHILIPPE, King of the French, has at length
come to his Senses aud acts and speaks as nationally
as do. Recent dispatches from Mr.. Vail inform me
that the British COVE rnmenl has received advices from
Paris stating officially that the intention of the French
government is to consider my last Annual Message
perfectly satisfactory, and that the money is ready
whenever drawn for.
don't think il is necessary inquire how the French
picked out of that document apology explanation
They are very ingenious people, and have reud that
Napoleon taught them extract sugar from beets and
sunbeams from oucumbers, but I'll be id If Twas
not all struck up into apple heap when first heard
that my message considered an apology. During
my life, have made many such apologies, but never
knew the fact until this moment. However, that is
neither here there. The French saw something
coming and so they thought it better to paw up and
make friends and in tins determination they shew good
sound sense, and littlo ingenuity and be id to
them.
The French business is, therefore, all settled In
short time l shall put the money into the Treasury
give the French receipt-and perchance send minis
ter to Paris again. So you that am the most
quiet peaceabe man in the world, when have every
thing my way and no President ever went beyond

am beginning think that it is not long journey for
the rascas To get there l am in dilemma, and must
get out of il by G., some way or other. There
are only four methods by which can at present.

First can resign, return Nashville and farming
again. Secondly, can take the next steam boat and
