throughout the said teniioty.
You will immediately proceed by

proceed into the said t- rMtcry, and, in

and in behalf of the United States.
As the district, the possession of
which you are directed to take-, is o

enjoyment of their liberty, property

your authotiry. As Far as yolir povr
eYs may Be ioadeqoa'e ro thrss other
requisite objects, the legislature of
Orleans, which it is understood will
sooh be ?n session, will have ?n op
portunity of making fur liter provision*
for them, mote especially for giving
by law ro the inhabitants of the said
territory a just share in the represen

Keir»g desirable that the interval oi
this privation should not be prolongs

the case.

Territory,. as will Governor Ilolinei
from the Mississippi Teiritory, m:h

deem proper. Should, however, at'1

<io, of which possession was nor drri
V~red to the United States in pii^u*
ance Of the treaty concluded at Paris
on the 30.h of April, 1803, has at alt
ti.res, as it is well known, been comi*
dered and claimed by them, as behig
within the colony of Louisiana con
veyed by the said treaty in the s *me
extent'fiat it had in the hands ofSndn*.r
and that it had when France orig;rt»l-^
l> possessed it.
And whereas the acquiescence of
the United States in the tempory con—' •
tinuance of the said territory under th»*
Spanish authority was not the rey<_iit *
of aDy distrust of their title, a* has
(>een particularly evinced in the gene
r 1 tenor of their laws, and by the dis
tinction made ir> the application of
tho-e laws between that territory anti
foreign countries ; but was occasioned*
by their conciliatory viewt* snd by a
confidence in the justice of their ^aupe^ i
and in the success of candid discussion:
•ind amicable negotiation with a just
ttnd friendly power.
I* And whereas a as Ufhe&orv adjust-^
ment, too long delayed, without the

some lime been entirely sticpemied hf
events over which they had no control -

Considering moreover, that und r
these pecu*t.^r a *d imperative circum

the United States t> occupy the terri

'gjinst the confusions and contingencies
which threaten it, might be construed
a uiiLiiwmiii vi (.Heir iitic, or an
