British and American commissioners exchange views on Indian pacification and permanent boundaries, demanding a provisional article before peace talks. They insist on Indian inclusion, define lake security rules, and seek a boundary reprise from Lake Superior to the Mississippi, with direct Halifax Quebec links. The United States rejects non provisional terms and flags no current peace.
The note from British plenipotentiaries outlines willingness to accept a provisional article on Indian specification and boundary if American plenipotentiaries authorize it. It emphasizes inclusion of Indian nations in peace, a fixed boundary, and mutual guarantees not to acquire territory within limits. It proposes using Greenville terms, asserts lakes Ontario to Superior as a military frontier, and calls for no fortifications or armed vessels near shorelines pending further talks.
The Yazoo claimants announce the commissioners appointed under the 1814 act will meet on the first Monday in January in Washington to adjudge the sufficiency of releases and assignments. They will also determine claims under the Georgia act of 1795 for unlocated territory and for frontiers support, as directed by the Secretary of State and the Attorney General.
Acting Secretary Monroe and others advise claimants or their agents to prepare releases, assignments, and powers under the Yazoo Claims act. They permit local agents to modify instruments on site to fit Board directions, reducing travel and delay as the Board proceeds with its duties.
