Information has been received at the Treasury Department that the four installments under our treaty with France have been paid to the agent of the United States. In communicating this satisfactory termination of our controversy with France, I feel assured that both Houses of Congress will unite with me in desiring and believing that the anticipations of a restoration of the ancient cordial relations between the two countries, expressed in my former messages on this subject, will be speedily realized.
No proper exertion of mine shall be wanting to efface the remembrance of those misconceptions that have temporarily interrupted the accustomed intercourse between them.
ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, May 14, 1836.
To the House of Representatives:
In compliance with a resolution of the House of Representatives of the 10th instant, I transmit reports[17] from the Secretaries of State and War, with the papers accompanying the same.
ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, May 14, 1836.
