The Delegates of New-York, in behalf of their State,
moved that Congress come to the following resolutions:
" Whereas divers inhabitants, of a certain dittrift
of country over a particular part of which the State
of New-York, and over the residue of which the State
of New-Hampshire, at the time when these United
States were Colonies of and fubjeft to the Crown of
Great-Britain, did exercise jurisdiction, have under
various pretences, refuted allegiance thereto, apd at
tempted to constitute themselves into a separate State,
under the assumed name of the State of Vermont :
Rrfohed, That the States of New-Hampshire, Massa
chusetts-Bay, Rhode-lfland and Providence Planta
tions, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North-Ca
rolina, South-Carolina, and Georgia, are federally
intitled to and ought to hold and be maintained in
the poffeflion of all the lands and territories which
appertained of right to each of them refpeCtively
while they were Colonies of arid fubjeCt to the King
of Great-Britain.
Relied, That none of the said Stites ought to be
or shall be divested of any land or territories over
which they refpeCtively exercised jurifdidion at the
time aforefaid, unless by judgment of Congress in fa
vour of certain other of the said States claiming jhe
fame or any part thereof, and prosecuting that claim
in the way prescribed by the Articles of Confederation.
Refolded, That no part or diftriCt of one or more of
the said States shall be permitted to separate therefrom
and become independent thereon, without the express
consent and approbation of such State or States re
fpeCtively.
Re/oked, That it be recommended to the inhabi
tants of the said pretended State of Vermont to re
turn peaceably to their former jurisdictions, that is
to fay, those who have separated from the State of
New-York, to the State of New-York, and those who
have separated from the State of New-Hampshire, to
the State of New-Hampshire.
Resolved, That Congress will readily hear, examine
and interpose, to obtain a redress of any grievances
of which the said inhabitants may have cause to com
plain against their said refpeCtive States.
Refolded, That nothing in the preceding resolutions
contained shall be conftiued to confirm or prejudice
the title of the States of New-Hampshire or New-
York to the jurisdictions aforefaid, or to exclude or
bar any claims which other States may have thereto
or any part thereof."
A motion was thereupon made by Mr. Burke, fe-
conded by Mr. Morris, —That on Saturday next Con
gress be resolved into a Committeeof the whole, to
consider the foregoing resolutions:
Question put, —Resolved in the affirmative.
The Committee to whom was referred the letter
from the Minißer Plenipotentiary of France, with
the note from Don Juan de Mirailles, dated May
i3th, 1779, brought in a report; whereupon
R^fohed, That the resolutions of Congress passed
on the 6th day of March last, relative to the controul
of Congress by appeal in the last resort over all jurif
didions for deciding the legality of captures on the
high seas, be immediately transmitted to the several
States, and that they be refpedively requested to take
effectual measures for conforming therewith.
Resolved, That the following letter be written to
the Minister Plenipotentiary of France, and signed
by the President:
Sir, Congress having taken into consideration your
letter of the 19th of this month, I am directed to as
sure you, that as soon as the matter shall in due course
come before them, they will attend very particularly
to the cases of the vessels Rated in the note from Don
Juan de Mirailles to have been failing under the flag
of his Catholic Majesty, and captured by armed vef-
Lls under the flag of the United States; and that they
will cause the law of nations to be most RriHly ob
served : That if it shall be found, after due trial, that
thg owners of the captured vessels have fuffered da
rwage from the misapprehension or violation of the
rights of war and neutrality, Congress will cause re
paration to be made in such manner as to do ample
fuftice and vindicate the honour of the Spanish flag.
That Congress have every possible disposition to
cultivate the most perfect harmony with his Catholic
Majesty, and to encourage the most liberal and friend
ly intercourse between his fubjeds and the citizens
of these United States; but they cannot, consistently
with the powers intruded to them and the rights of
the States and of individuals, in any case suspend or
interrupt the ordinary course of justice.
On motion of Mr. Duane, seconded by Mr. Morris,
Congress came to the following resolution:
Whereas a proportion has been made for exchanging
a number of the good citizens of these States who are
ip captivity at Niagara and its vicinity, for difaffeded
citizens who are desirous to join the enemy:
Resolved, That the Cemmißioners of Indian Affairs
for the Northern Department, or any two of them, be
authorifed and dire—ed, with the concurrence of the
Commander in Chief, and the Governor or Executive
Authority of the several States, whose citizens respec
tively shall be the fubjeCt of the proposed exchange, to
negociate and fettle such exchange in the manner and
on the terms they shall judge reasonable and expedient.
