PARIS, October 4, 1833.
SIR: On Monday I presented my letter of credence to the King, on which occasion I made the address to him a copy of which is inclosed.
His answer was long and earnest. I can not pretend to give you the words of it, but in substance it was a warm expression of his good feeling toward the United States for the hospitality he had received there, etc. ... "As to the convention," he said, "assure your Government that unavoidable circumstances alone prevented its immediate execution, but it will be faithfully performed. Assure your Government of this," he repeated, "the necessary laws will be passed at the next meeting of the Chambers. I tell you this not only as King, but as an individual whose promise will be fulfilled."
Mr. Livingston to the Secretary of State.
