state the grounds upon which he 
has so done, in such manner 
that the said statement may be 
referred to such friendly Sovereign 
or State, together with the report 
of such other Commissioner, that 
such Sovereign or State shall de- 
cide, ex-parte, upon the said re- 
port alone; and his Britannic 
Majesty and the Government of 
the United States engage to con- 
sider the decision of such friendly 
Sovereign or State to be final and 
conclusive on all the matters so 
referred. 
Art. V.— Whereas neither that 
point of the highlands lying due 
north from the source of the river 
St. Croix, designated in the for- 
mer Treaty of Peace between the 
two powers as the north-west 
angle of Nova Scotia, nor the 
' north-westernmost head of Con- 
necticut river, have yet been as- 
eertained; and whereas that part 
of the boundary line between the 
dominions of the two powers, 
which extends from the source of 
the river St. Croix, directly north 
to the above mentioned north- 
west angle of Nova Scotia, thence 
along the said highlands which 
divide those rivers that empty 
themselves into the river St. Law- 
rence, from those which fall into 
the Atlantic Ocean to the north- 
westernmost head of Connecticut 
river, thence down along the mid- 
die of that river to the 45th de- 
gree of north latitude, thence by 
a line due west on said latitude 
until it strikes the river Iroquois 
or Cataraguy, has not yet been 
surveyed, it is agreed that for 
these several purposes two Com- 
missioners shall be appointed, 
sworm, and authorised, to act ex- 
aetly in the manner directed with 
355 
respect to those mentioned in the 
next preceding article, unless 
otherwise specified in the present 
article. The said Commissioners 
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 Com- 
missioners shall have power to 
ascertain and determine the points 
above-mentioned, in conformity 
with the provisions of the said 
Treaty of Peace of 1783; and 
shall cause the boundary afore- 
said, from the source of the river 
St. Croix to the river Iroquois or 
Cataraguy to be surveyed and 
marked according to the said pro- 
visions; the said Commissioners 
shall make a map of the said 
boundary, and annex to it a de- 
claration under their hands and 
seals, certifying it to be a true 
map of the said boundary, and 
particularizing the latitude and 
longtitude of the north-west angle 
of Nova Scotia, of the north- 
westernmost head of Connecticut 
River, and of such other points of 
the said boundary as they may 
deem proper: and both parties 
agree to consider such map and 
declaration as finally and conclu- 
sively fixing the said boundary. 
And in the event of the said two 
Commissioners differing, or both, 
or either of them, refusing, de- 
clining, or wilfully omitting to 
act, such reports, declarations, or 
statements shall be made. by 
them, or either of them, and such 
reference to a friendly Sovereign 
or State shall be made in all re- 
spects, as in the latter part of 
the fourth article is contained, 
and in as full a manner as if the 
same was herein repeated.
