4181n1.8 IV.—Whereas it was stipulated by the 241
,Article in the Treaty of Peace of 1785, between his
Britannic Majesty and the United States of America,
that the boundary of the 'United States should com-
prehend "all Islands within 20 leagues of any part
the Wares of the United States, and lying be-
tsveen lines to be drawn due east from the points
where the aforesaid boundaries, between Nova Scotia
on the one part; and East Florida on the other,
shall respectively touch the Bay of Fundy and the
Adentic Ocean, excepting such Islands as now are,
or heretofore have been within the limits of Nova
:"

And whereas the several Islands in the Bay of
Passamaquoddy, which is part of the Bay of Funiy,
and tile Island of Grand Nlenan, in the said Bay of
Fundy, are claimed by United States, as being
comprehended within their aliiresaid boundaries,
which said Islands are claimed as helonging to Lis
Britannic Majesty, as having been at the time of,'
and previous to the aforesaid Treaty of 1783, within
tha limits of the province of Nova Scotia ; in order,
therefore, finally, to decide upon these claims, it is
agreed that they shall be referred to two Commis-
sioners, to be appointed in the following manner,
viz.—One Commissioner shall be appointed by his
Britannic Majesty, and one by the President of the
United States, by and with tha advice and consent
of the Senate thereof; and the said two Commis-
sioners so appointed, shall be sworn impartially to
examine and decide upon the said claims, according
to such evidence as shall be laid belure them on the
part of his Britannic MAjesty and of the United States
respectively. The said Connnissioners shall meet at
St. Andrew's, in the province of New Brunswick, and
shall have power to adjourn to such other place or
places as they shall think fit. The said Commis.
sinners shall, by a declaration or report under their
hands and seals, decide to which of the two Con.
tracting Parties the several Islands aforesaid do
respectively belmq:, in conformity with the true intent
of the said Treaty of Peace of 1753 ; and if the said
Commissioners shall agree in their decision, both
parties shall consider such decision as final and
conclusive.

It is further agreed, that in the event of the two
Commissioners differing upon all or any of the mat-
ters so referred to them, or in the event of hr.th or
either of the said Commissioners refusing or declining,
or wilfully omitting to act as such, they shall make
jointly or separately, report 'or reports, as well to the
Government of his Britannic bi.ijsty, as to that of
the United States, stating in dttail the points on
which they differ, and the grounds upon which their
respective opinions have been formed, or the grounds
upon which they, or either of them, have s refused,
declined, or omitted to act. And his Britannic Ma-
jesty 'lnd the Government of the United Stites here.,

b 7 agree to refer the report or reports of the
Commissioners to some friendly Sovereign or S:4te,
to be then named for that purpose, and who 4.11::.•
