's The second article of the original treaty with- North America, I , after deseriniug the northern boundary 114 runninj through the centre at lakes (Mario, Huron, and Superior, proceeds to say, that the hoe shall then nisi throngli the middle of said long lake mid Fite conintsinfeating betsitioalt a n d the lake of the %broods, to the sigh lake of the Woods. thence through 'the said lake to the north• west point *MOE. yid from thence on a doe west course to tlig river Mississippi. niitil it shall ioteiseet thinottliernebost part attic Slat degree or !MAI' latitude. ;. How the anminissiootrs on this treaty eassid stipulate, that from rho hike of iheWood., the line was to rim due %vest to the iblissis sippi. appears very singular, since the source of this river and the lake of the %Vain!s are in a pluvial's.' line, hut the !omit Much neater the north, eultsequentlythe source of the Mississippi from thence lies due south, and a western line could never %trike it. If at proves no more. it at least >hews, that we knew nothing at that time of the grags'apley of the interior arise country. - 4 ' The express terms, would, 110W.VC1', indicate, that all American claim. of territory, west ot the Mississippi, are ejvon up ; since this river was made the boundary of the whole western finntier, from I &limit 49. Sc) degree north to the 31 ditto north ; and the whole of I thi• country westward and northward of these two lines, was origi. ashy claimed .ley. &clam' or Spain. The system nosh adopted Lv the Coiled States. of pushing their territory westward to the Weill INit•ific Ore3n, will, nn intent to cotnntand the for.trade, and transfer it from the lakes and the river St. Lawrence to the Mississipp.i, is a peint that must he fully and tirmly established in whatever treaty MID terminate the present nostortntiale war. The chief question to be ascertained is, whether there was *my thing ceded by Spain be yyul Adonis-lama, and whether the territory or the .
