The, BritTsri pleolpbtentianes ph5V
ped'tnat 'the, Military posssiOQ-of
the UVes;fom lake OnunotolaVe
Superior, should be secuted to Great
Britainecuse the commsnd.of those
would aord to the Americao
RoVernmeot the meins of cbmmertc1
ing a war in uic ncau u;
because the command of them, on the
part of Great Britain, has been shewn
by experience to be attended with iJo
insecurity "to the U. States. '
When the ' relative strength of the
two powerB in itf orth America is con
sidered, it should be recollected that
the BritisnT dominions in that quarter
do not contain a p-fpulati:,n of fiVc
hundred thousand souU, whereas the
territory of the U States contains a
bonuUtion of more, thao seven mi'f
lions : that the naval resources of the
lU. Sutes are at hand for attack, and
that the naval rcaourcea,of Great Bri- i
tain are on the. otjier side of the At
lantic; The military possesion of those
lakes is not, therefore, necessa
ry for the protection of the United
States.
.ThV proposal for allowing the teri
ritorica n the suihern bank of the
lakes hbovc mcntiontd to remain in
the possession ol the government of
the' United States, provided no forti
fications should be erected on the
1 shores, and no armament permitted
00 the waters, has been made, for the
purpose af mtnifesting, that security
and not inquisition of territory is the
object of the British government, and
that they have no desire to.throw ob
stacles in the way of any commerce
which the people of the United States
may be desirous of carrying on upon
the lakes in time of peace.
The undersigned, with the anxious
wish to rectify all misunderstanding,
h-ve thus more fully explained the
grounds upon which they brought for
ward the propositions contained in
their former note respecting the boun
daries of the British dominions in N
America. ' (
They do not wish to insist upon
them beyond what the circumstances,
may fa.rly require. They are ready,
amicably, to discuss the details of
them with a view to the adoption of
any modifications which the Amert
can plenipotentiaries, or their govern
meet, may have to suggest, if they
re not incompatible with the object
itself.
With respect to the boundary of the
district of Maine, and that of the N.
Western frontier of the U.States, the
Uiiderstgoed were not prepared to an
ticipate the objections coutained ip
the note of the American plenipoten
tiaries, 4t that they were instructed to
treat for the revision of their bounda
ry lines, with the statement which
they have subsequently made, that
they had no authority to cede an) part,
however insignificant ot the territo
ries of the Uuitcd States, although
the proposal left it open to them to
demand an equivalent for such ces
sion either in frontier or otherwise
The American plenipotentinries
must be aware that the boundary of
the district of Maine has never been
correctly ascertained ; that "the one
asserted at present 'by the American
government, by which the direct com
muntcaiion between Halifax & Que
bec beccmesjotetrupted, was not in:
&mempianon ox ine.ouusn plenipo
tentiaries who concluded the treaty of
1783, and that the greater 'part of the
territory io question is actually unoc
cupied. -.
rThe'ubdirsTOTcd' are persuaded

might be easily mlde,'if entered into

proposition j or to discuss any bther

I jegret " the undersigned finoVthat the
r a " ' t . . . 1
a. rnen can, plenipotentiaries : nave-not
only dr clined signingvany provisional
arricle, by .which' ' the - Indian- nations
who have' taken part with Great Bri
tain in the present cont- at may be in
cluded in tht? peace, and may i have a
pounjlary j assigned to them, but have
also thought proper to. express su,r-.
prize , at any ; proposition on the sub' j
ject having been advanced.
The American plenipotentiaries
state that their government could not
have expected such a discussion, and
appear resolved, sit opcey to reject a
ny proposition on this head ; repre'
senting it ns a demand contrary to the I
acknowledged principles 01 pubac
law, tantamount to a cession of onr
third of the territor'uil dominions of
the U. S. and required to be admitted
without discussion.
The proposition which is thus re
presented is, that the Indian nations,
which h-.-vfi been durin? the wnr in
-
aUianre with Great Britain. sHou'd !
at its terminati u be includ-d in :he
pacification: and, with a view t
their prrmanent tranquility nd secu
rity, that the British government is
willing to take as a basis of an arti
cle on the subject of a boundary for
tbbse nations, the stipulations which
4he American government cdntractci
n 1795 subject,. however, to' modifi.
catt6ds. .
4 After the declaration, publicly
made to those Indian nations by the
governor general of Canada, that G.
Britain would not desert them, could
the . American government really
; persuade itself that ;no propsitioo re
lating to those nations would be ad
vanced and did' Lord Castlereaj'
note of the 4th November, 1813, im
ply so great a sacifice of honor, or ex
clude from discission every subject,
; excepting what immediatelv related
to the maritime questions referred to
in it
When the undersigned assured the
American plenipotentiaries of the an
xious wi'sh)f the British government
thai the nego iation might terminate
in a peace honorable to both parties,
it could not 'have been imagined That
the American plenipotentiaries would
t he occs conclude that his majesty'
government was prepared to abandon
the Indian nations to their, fate, nor
could it have been foreseen that tht
American government would ; have
considered Jr as .derogatory to it
honor tb to admit a propoiition b
which the tranquility of those nations
might be secured. .
'ilife British Plenipotentiaries have
yet to learn that it is contrary to the
acknowledged principiesof publicikw
to include o Hies' in a negociation for
peace, oj that it isv contrary to the
practice of all civilized nations to pro
pose that a Provision should be made
for their, future security.
