TREATY OF GHENT, 26TH OCT., 1812. 
First Article relates to the Fisheries on the Coast of Labrador and New- 
foundland, stating without any Prejudice to the Rights of the Hudson’s Bay 
Company. N.B.—The Rights of the H. B. Company could not here be inter- 
fered with for they have no Establishment on the Labrador Coast. 
Second Article.—It is agreed that a Line drawn from the most N.W. Point 
of the Lake of the Woods, or if the said Point shall not be in the 49th Parallel 
of North Latitude, then that a Line drawn from the said Point due North or 
South, as the Case may be until the said Line shall intersect the said Parallel 
of North Latitude and from the Point of such Intersection due West along 
and with the said Parallel, shall be the Line of Demarcation between the 
Territories of Great Britain and United States and that the said Line shall 
form the Southern Boundary of the Territories of his Britannic Majesty and 
the Northern of the United States from the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky 
Mountains. This Article involves a very serious Question as to the Hudson’s 
Bay Company and particularly to the Family of Lord Selkirk as such a Line 
would strike off a very considerable Proportion of the Grant made by the 
H. B. Company to Lord Selkirk. This Line would run about 2% miles to the 
North of Pamina. (48.57 N. Lat.) 
Third Article.—It is agreed that any Country that may be claimed by 
either Party on the N. W. Coast of America Westward of the Rocky Moun- 
tains shall together with its Harbours, Bays and Creeks and the Navigation 
of all Rivers within the same be free and open, for the Term of 10 Years from 
the Date of the Signing of the present Convention, to the Vessels, Citizens 
and Subjects of the two Powers.
