*V MELISH’S MAP.
We have the pleasure to inform
our readers that Mr. John, Melish
well known as a geographer and map
seller in this city, has in prepara
I tion A map , shewing the boundary line
proposed iy the British- commissioner \
\at Gfvekt,*d% he map, a copy Os which
wejiave seen, will be delineated to
shew the proposed boundary line!* on
ihemorth east, which cuts off a&mt
one third of the district of Maine ,*>
the old boundary is continued west
ward to the river St* Lawrence,
from which point, the south side of
that river and-the lakes westward, are
painted as British territory—-ih terms
of the eery modest suggestion of the
British commissioners. 4 From- the
mouth of The Cayahoga river to the
Ohio, the boundary of the
treaty of Greenville, and so contin
ues along Ohio, and Mississippi.
This cuts off about one third of tne
state of Ohio, the whole of theTndi
ada territory* Illinois territory,
North Western temtoiy j amount
ingin the aggregate to and spate near
ly equal to all the territory; that
would be left within the ; United
States. , ‘■ x • 1 ‘ ‘ £ ~
It is to be observed also, that the
commissiofters claim the free naviga
tion of the Mississippi, Which cir
v cumstance taken in connection with
the movements of the British ir\ the
£outh and west, shew that’ a desigh
is meditated to deprive us of tiu
4 whole of Louisiana. Could it be
possible for the British to succ%H in
this., R would reduce lis from, a first
rate poorer on the western contiuem:
to one of wretched insign, finance,
dependenLon the British and Spanish
and Indians 1 for almost every thing
we wani*.-aiH§ hemmed in by them
In short the effect produced off the
country by this enormous pretension
would be so astonishing, that it is
difficult to form concep
tion of it without a i epnv«?eritation'on
a map ; and its congratulate our
eadeis that they will soon have it in
heir power, at a yery small expencv
to be put in possession of documents
’hat will present a vivid &*d torrec*
picture of the extent of the e.nem •
claims. The map accompanied witft
the documents relative to the no/ >
