tiutil it sliall lie intersected by a lino at right angles to the 

 same jiussiug through Point Coupee, and by the last- 

 nieutloued line to the place of beginning. 



Article H cedes to the V. S. the great salt spring upon the 

 Saline cmek, wliich falls into the Ohio below the mouth of 

 the Wabiish, with a r|uantity of land surrounding it not ex- 

 ceeding 1 miles square. 



Article 4 cedes to the U. S. the right of locating three tracts of 

 hind (of such size as ma.t be agreed to by the Kickapoo, 

 Eel River, Wea, Piankishaw, and Kaskaskia tribes), for 

 the purposes of erecting houses of entertainment for travel- 

 ers on the main road between A'inceunes aud Kaskaskia. 



Also the rij;ht to locate one other tract for a similar purpose 

 ou the m.id between Vincennes aud Clarksville. 



These trilies concur in the cessions for houses of entertainment 

 provided for in the treaty of June 7, 1803. 



By article 1 the Ka-skaskiag cede to the U. S. all the lands in 



the Illinois country heretofore possessed or claimed by them. 

 By the same article they except from the foregoing cession a 



tract of 3.50 acres near the town of Kaskaskia, secured to 



them by act of Congress of Mar. 3, 1791. 

 The Kaskaskias also reserve the right of locating one other 



tract of 1,280 acres within the bounds of the above cession. 



The ibllowing metes and bounds are established as the line of 

 demarcation between the U. S. aud the Choctaws, mentioned 

 in the treaty of Oct. 17. 1802, viz: Beginning in the channel 

 of the Hatclieo Comesa or Wax river, at the point where the 

 line of limits between the U. S. and Spain cresses the same; 

 thence up tlie channel of said river to the contluence of the 

 Chickasawhay an<l Buckhatannee rivers; thence up the 

 channel of the Buckhatannee toBogue Hoomaor Ked creek; 

 thence np the said creek to a pine tree standing on the left 

 bank of the same, and blazed on two of its sides, about 12 

 links .SW. of an old trading path leading from the town of 

 Mobile to the Hewanee towns, much worn but not in present 

 use. From this tree we tind the following bearings and 

 distances, viz: S. 54-' 30' W. 1 chain 1 link, a black gum; 

 N. 39"^ E. 1 chain 75 links, a water oak; thence with the okl 

 British line of partition in its various inflections to a mul- 

 berry post planted on the right bank of the main branch of 

 Sintee Bogue or Snake creek, where it makes a sharp turn 

 to the SE., a large, broken-top cypress tree standing near 

 the opposite bank of the creek, which is about 3 poles wide; 

 thence down the said creek to the Tombigby nver; thence 

 down the Tombigby aud Mobile rivers to the line between 

 U. S. aud Spain, and with the same to the beginning. 



The Delawares cede to the U. S. all the tract of country lying 

 between the Ohio and Wabash rivers, aud below the tract 

 ceded by the treaty of Fort Wayne and the road leading 

 from Yincenues to the falls of the Ohio. 



The Delawares having exhibited to the U. S. commissioner suf- 

 ficient proof of their title to all the country lying between 

 the Ohio and White rivers, and the Miami tribe, who were 

 the original proprietors of the upper part of that country, 

 having acknowledged the title of the Delawares at the gen- 

 eral couuiil held at Fort Wayne in June, 1803, the U. S., by 

 article 4, agrees in future to consider the Delawares as the 

 rightful owners of all the country bounded by the White 

 river ou the N., the Ohio on the S., the general boundary 

 line running from the mouth of the Kentucky river on the 

 E., and the tract ceded by this treaty and that ceded by the 

 treaty of Fort Wayne on the AV. and SW.
