AN advertisement having been pub'pflied for the file of a
certain trad of country to the westward, called Indi ±na,
which is said to bind on the north, in some parts, by the line
of Pennsylvania; it becomes necessary to inform the pubtick
of the claim of the Proprietors ot Pennsylvania on that
quarter. The charter boundary of Pennsylvania, on the
south, is the 40th degree of north latitude. The prior grant
of the province of Maryland took off from Pennsylvania
near fifty miles in breadth, so far as Maryland extends west
ward, beyond 'hat extent the Proprietors of Bennfyivania
claim, agreeable to their charter, as far south as the 40th de
gree (which is computed to be near fifty miles to the south
ward of what is commonly called Dixon and Mason's Jine)
and westward in that breadth to the extent of five degrees of
longitude front Delaware;: and they have a petition depend
ing before the King and Council for running the fuuth boun
dary of the province, afoe{hle so tbit cooftruaion of the
charter; of all which it is thought proper to give this public
notice, in Order that those who incline to become purchasers
of Indiana, .may not be uninformed of the claim of the Pro
prietors of Pennsylvania.—A further explanation of which
may be seen in a note- at the bottom of William Scull's map
in this province By order of the Governor,
James TILGHMAN, secretary of the Land Office.
