The boundary line between the
flate of North-Carolina and the
Cherokees, has .been completed,
and the line between ths Natchfs
territory and the Choftavs, is pro
bably by this time eftab)ifhed and
marked, in a manner ; which it is pre
fumed vw ill be fatisfaftory to the U
nited States, and to the Choftaw
natiod.
A boundary line has alfo been a
2reed on, to the traS of land on
the Wakfh rivr including Vin
cennes, winch wdl foon be run and
mitkrd ; and hkewifc the lines a
roud the two tra&s on the portage

furrs have been taken for afcertain.
ing the boundaries between the In.
diqs and the white people on the

kaffia fcttlements, below the mouth
of the Illirvois river ; but for want
of authentic documents, it will pro
bably be necef(ary to refort to a new
convention with the Indian nation
for cftaol.niiug faid boundaries, and
for procuring fome additional cef.

means forencrraftng and ftrengthen

In addition to the two factories,
or Ir4?an trading houfes, hereto
fore 'eftablifhed, it has been confi
dered as advifeable to eftibhfli four
others, viz. one at Detroit, ore 't
Fort Way ne,onc a-Chickafaw bluff,
and one with the Chocbws. The
furplus of one hundred and fifty
thoufand dollars, appropriated by
an aft of Congrefs, of the 16th of
April, 1795? arjd which had not
been applied tn (he the two faiorie&
heretofore eftablifhed on the fron
tier of Georgia and Tei.nelfec, has
bern applied to the four other efta
bhfhroents recently made.
; From an inveftigation of the ac
counts made and reported to cor
grefs at its laft feffion, it was fatisfac
tory evident, that the flrfds em
ployed prior to that period had no
beea diminithed, and it is conti
dehtly believed th't the fum appro,
priated to that objeel, may be em-'
ployed not only without diminu
tion, but with very great advantage
I to the public, not in point of cotn-
j mercial profits but by attaching and
fecuring the friendihip and confi
dence of the natives, which cannot
