AN advertisement having been published for the sale of a
certain tract of country to the westward, called Indiana,
which is said to bind on the north; in some parts, by the line
of Penofylvania; it becomes necessary to inform the publick
of the claim of the Proprietors of 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 that extent the Proprietors of Pennfylvalria
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 Mafcn's line)
and westward in that breadth to the extent of five degrees of
longitude from Delaware; and they have a petition depend
ing before the King and Council for running the south boun
dary of the province, agreeable to that conftsuaion of the
charter; of ail which is is thought proper to gi ve this public
notice, in eider that tbofe who incline to become purchafess
of Indiana, may not be uninformed of the claim of the Pro
prietors of Pcnnfylvania.—A further explanation of which
may be seen in a note at the bottom of William Scull's map
