the resolution refpe&ing the people inhabiting the New-
Hampshire G rat ts, it was altered acd agreed to as follows,
“ It being the fixed purpose of Congress, to adhere to the
gaurantee to the States of New-Hamp hire and New-York,
contained in the resolutions of the 7th instant.

recognition of the independence of rhe people inhabiting
the territory called Vermont, and their admiflion into the
fee Iral union, that they explicitly relinquish all demands of
sands, or jurifdidion on the cast file of rhe weft bank of
„Conne&cut river, and on the wef* fide of a line beg'ining at
the N. W corner of the State of Maflachufetts, thence run
ning twenty miles cast of Hudfons river, so far as the said
river runs N. Eriterly in its general course, then by the weft
bounds of the townships granted by the late government of
New-Hamshire, to the river running from South-By to
Lake Champlain, thence along laid river to Lake Cham

Congress to enter into the above resolutions, was full and
Complete. The concurrent resolutions ofthe Senate and
Assembly of the State of New-York, ofthe ryth and 19 h of
November last, containing a proreft against the authority
of Congress in the matter notwithstanding. These concur
rent resolutions in letter and in Spirit, being undeniably in
compatible with a legislative a& of thefaid State of a pre
eeeding day,viz. the 21st of Odober 1779, wherein there
is an absolute reference of the dispute b<twen that State and
the people ofVer-nont, refpe&ing jurifdi&ion to the final
arbitrimentand decifirin ofCongrefs. and from which alone
would refultw Congress all the acce&ryauchority herein.
