FRENCH SEIGNIORIES ON LAKE CHAMPLAIN.

New York, 7 Nov. 1766.
My Lords --I had the honour of informing your Lordi'P in a former letter that I proposed to settle s
the Boundary line belween this Province and Quebec as soon as I could conveniently leave this City,
and it was not long before I had an opportunity of doing it, for upon the arrival of Brigadier Carleton from England, I set out in company with him for Lake Champlain, and after encountering witli many difficulties occasioned by the badness of the weather, we fixed the limits on the River Sorell about two miles and a half below windmill Point, which is further to the Northward than we imagined to find it from the observations which were said to be made there by the French some few years agoe
upon our arrival at Windmill Point, several French Gentlemen came to us, there from Quebec, as well to pay their compliments to Brig r Carleton, as to request of me the confirmation of their Rights to those Seigneiories, which on our observations should be found in the Southward of the 45 th degree, and which were granted to them before the conquest of Canada.
