The premises being read, itis consider'd That by His Majesty's Order in Council 20 July 1764 the Western Bank of Connecticut River was then commanded to be the West Bounds of this Province and that this Government has been & is intirely obedient thereto ; Therefore the said proclamation, relating wholly to matters and Things without the Boundaries of this Province ; it is advised that the publication thereof, by authority of this Province would be Extra-Provincial, therefore in our opinion improper, and that his Excellency is further advised not to issue any Proclamation relating to the Premises.

Secondly. That it is not expedient for this Government in any wise to interfere with or concern in running the Lines between his Majesty's Provinces of New York and Canada, which (by his Excelley Gov Tryon's Letter of 23'¢ Dect 1771) is already begun by Commissioner appointed for that Seyvice agreeable to his Majesty's Instructions, " wherein it does not appear that this Provinces is refer'd to or mentioned."
