Any seeming errors, therefore, must be attributed to the Rolls, and not to us.

<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The Chickasaws allege that in the management and disbursement of their funds by the Government, they have been subjected to losses and expenses which properly should be borne by the United States. With the view, therefore, of doing full justice in the premises, it is hereby agreed that there shall be, at as early a day as practicable, an account stated, under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, exhibiting in detail all the moneys which, from time to time, have been <sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize8">Vol. vii, pp. 381, 450.</p></sidenote>placed in the Treasury to the credit of the Chickasaw nation, resulting from the treaties of 1832, and 1834, and all the disbursements made therefrom. And said account, as stated, shall be submitted to the Chickasaws, who shall have the privilege, within a reasonable time, of filing exceptions thereto, and any exceptions so filed shall be referred to the Secretary of the Interior, who shall adjudicate the same according to the

<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">It is also alleged by the Chickasaws that there are numerous cases in which moneys held in trust by the United States for the benefit of orphan and incompetent Chickasaws, have been wrongfully paid out to persons having no right to receive the same. It is therefore further agreed, that all such cases shall be investigated by the Agent of the United States under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior. And if it shall appear to the satisfaction of said Secretary, that any of the orphans and incompetents have been defrauded by such wrongful payment, the amount thus misapplied shall be accounted for by the United States, as if no such payment had been made.<ref class="footnoteRef" idref="fn010975">*</ref><footnote id="fn010975"><num>*</num> See Proviso added in amendment, <i>post</i>, p. 976.</footnote></p>

<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The Republic of Mexico and the United States of America, desiring to remove every cause of disagreement which might interfere in any manner with the better friendship and intercourse between the two countries, and especially in respect to the true limits which should be established, when, notwithstanding what was covenanted in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in the year 1848, opposite interpretations have been urged, which might give occasion to questions of serious moment: to avoid these, and to strengthen and more firmly maintain the peace which happily prevails between the two republics, the President of the United States has, for this purpose, appointed James Gadsden, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the same, near the Mexican government, and the President of Mexico has appointed as Plenipotentiary “ad hoc ” his excellency Don Manuel Diez de Bonilla, cavalier grand cross of the national and distinguished order of Guadalupe, and Secretary of State, and of the office of Foreign Relations, and Don Jose Salazar Ylarregui and General Mariano Monterde as scientific commissioners, invested with full powers for this negotiation, who, having communicated their respective full powers, and finding them in due and proper form, have agreed upon the articles following:</p>

<content>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10"><sidenote renderingPosition="leftMargin"><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Boundary between Mexico and the United States.</p></sidenote>The Mexican Republic agrees to designate the following as her true limits with the United States for the future: retaining the same dividing line between the two Californias as already defined and established, according to the 5 th article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the limits between the two republics shall be as follows: Beginning in the Gulf of Mexico, three leagues from land, opposite the mouth of the Rio Grande, as provided in the 5 th article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; thence, as defined in the said article, up the middle of that river to the point where the parallel of 31° 47′ north latitude crosses the same; thence due west one hundred miles; thence south to the parallel of 31° 20′ north latitude; thence along the said parallel of 31° 20′ to the 111th meridian of longitude west of Greenwich; thence in a straight line to a point on the Colorado River twenty English miles below the junction of the Gila and Colorado Rivers; thence up the middle of the said river Colorado until it intersects the present line between the United States and Mexico.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">For the performance of this portion<sidenote renderingPosition="leftMargin"><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Lines to be surveyed and marked.</p></sidenote> of the treaty, each of the two governments shall nominate one commissioner, to the end that, by common consent the two thus nominated, having met in the city of Paso del Norte, three months after the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty, may proceed to survey and mark out upon the land the dividing line stipulated by this article, where it shall not have already been surveyed and established by the mixed commission, according to the treaty of Guadalupe, keeping a journal and making proper plans of their operations. For this purpose, if they should judge it necessary, the contracting parties shall be at liberty each to unite to its respective commissioner, scientific or other assistants, such as astronomers and surveyors, whose concurrence shall not be considered necessary fox’ the settlement and ratification of
<page identifier="/us/stat/10/1033@eng">1033</page>
a true line of division between the two Republics; that line shall be alone established upon which the commissioners may fix, their consent in this particular being considered decisive and an integral part of this treaty, without necessity of ulterior ratification or approval, and without room for interpretation of any kind by either of the parties contracting.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The dividing line thus established shall, in all time, be faithfully respected by the two governments, without any variation therein, unless of the express and free consent of the two, given in conformity to the principles of the law of nations, and in accordance with the constitution of each country respectively.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">In consequence, the stipulation in the 5th article of the treaty of Guadalupe upon the boundary line therein described is no longer of any force, wherein it may conflict with that here established, the said line being considered annulled and abolished wherever it may not coincide with the present, and in the same manner remaining in full force where in accordance with the same.</p>

<content>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">La República Mexicana conviene en señalar para lo succesivo como verdaderos límites con los Estados Unidos los siguientes: Subsistiendo la misma línea divisoria entre las dos Californias, tai cual está ya definida y marcada conforme al artículo quinto del tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo, los límites entre las dos Repúblicas seran los que siguen: comenzando en el golfo de México á tres leguas de distancia de la costa, frente á la desembocadura del Rio Grande, como se estipuló en el artículo quinto del tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo; de allí, segun se fija en dicho artículo, hasta la mitad de aquel rio al punto donde la paralela de 31° 47′ de latitud norte atraviesa el mismo rio; de allí,cien millas en línea recta al oeste; de allí, al sur á la paralela de 31° 20′ de latitud norte; de allí, siguiendo la dicha paralela de 31° 20′, hasta el 111 del meridiano de longitud oeste de Greenwich; de allí, en línea recta á un punto en el rio Colorado, veinte millas inglesas abajo de la union de los rios Gila y Colorado; de allí, por la mitad del dicho rio Colorado, rio arriba, hasta donde encuentra la actual línea divisoria entre los Estados Unidos y México. Para la ejecucion de esta parte del tratado, eada uno de los gobiernos nombrará un comisario, á fin de que por comun acuerdo los dos así nombrados, que se reunirán en la ciudad del Paso del Norte tres meses despues del cange de las ratificaciones de este tratado, procedan á recorrer y demarcar sobre el terreno la línea divisoria estipulada por este artículo, en lo que no estuviere yá reconocida y establecida por la comision mixta segun el tratado de Guadalupe, llevando al efecto diarios de sus procedimientos, y levantando los pianos convenientes. A este efecto, si lo juzgaren necesario las partes contratantes, podrán añadir á su respective comisario alguno ó algunos auxiliares, bien facultativos ó no, como agrimensores, astrónomos, &amp;c.; pero sin que por esto su concurrencia se considere necesaria para la fijacion
<page identifier="/us/stat/10/1033@spa">1033</page>
y ratification como verdadera línea divisoria entre ambas Repóblicas; pues dicha linea solo será establecida por lo que convengan los comisarios, reputándose su conformidad en este punto como decisiva y parte integrante de este tratado, sin necesidad de ulterior ratification ó aprobacion, y sin lugar ó interpretation de ningun género por cualquiera de las dos partes contratantes.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">La linea divisoria establecida de este modo, será en todo tiempo fielmente respetada por los dos gobiernos, sin permitirse ninguna variation en ella, sino es de expreso y libre consentimiento de los dos, otorgado de conformidad con los principios del derecho de gentes, y con arreglo á la constitucion de cada pais respectivamente. En consecuencia, lo estipulado en el articulo quinto del tratado de Guadalupe sobre la linea divisoria en él descrita, queda sin valor en lo que repugne con la establecida aqui; dandose por lo mismo por derogada y anulada dicha linea en la parte en que no es conforme con la presente, asi como permanecerá, en todo su vigor en la parte en que tuviere dicha conformidad con ella.</p>

The aforesaid assignments and selections of lands in the tract<sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize8">Assignments and selections how made.</p></sidenote> lying between the Missouri State line, and the said parallel line, shall be made within ninety days after the approval of the survey of said tract, and if there be any individuals recognized as at present entitled to lands therein, under the provisions of this article, who shall not have selected, or had selected for them, within said ninety days, their proper shares of land, the Shawnee Council shall select one or more disinterested persons, who shall, immediately after the expiration of such ninety days, make selections of lands for them, in the same manner, and subject to the same restrictions, as hereinbefore provided for minor orphan children, not members of a family, and for incompetent persons. And those residing on improvements west of the said parallel line, shall, within sixty days after the approval of the survey of the lands on which they live, make the selections of lands as, and to the amount, they are hereinbefore authorized to do. It is agreed that all the tracts of land, in this article

<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Now, therefore, to render practicable the stipulated payments herein recited, and to make exchange of the lands given west of the Mississippi for those desired by the tribe, and for the purpose of giving them the same for a permanent home, these articles are entered into.</p>

<content class="inline">
<p class="inline">It is agreed by the high contracting parties that, in addition<sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize8">Inhabitants of U. States allowed certain privileges in the fisheries.</p></sidenote> to the liberty secured to the United States fishermen by the abovementioned convention of October 20, 1818, of taking, curing, and drying fish on certain coasts of the British North American colonies therein defined, the inhabitants of the United States shall have, in common with the subjects of her Britannic Majesty, the liberty to take fish of every kind, except shell-fish, on the sea-coasts and shores, and in the bays, harbors, and creeks of Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward’s Island, and of the several islands thereunto adjacent, without being restricted to any distance from the shore, with permission to land upon the coasts and shores of those colonies and the islands thereof, and also upon the Magdalen Islands, for the purpose of drying their nets and curing their fish: provided that, in so doing, they do not interfere with the rights of private property, or with British fishermen, in the peaceable use of any part of the said coast in their occupancy for the same purpose.</p>

<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10"><sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize8">Umpire in case of their disagreement.</p></sidenote>The commissioners shall name some third person to act as an arbitrator or umpire in any case or cases on which they may themselves differ in opinion. If they should not be able to agree upon the name of such third person, they shall each name a person, and it shall be determined by lot which of the two persons so named shall be the arbitrator or umpire in cases of difference or disagreement between the commissioners. The person so to be chosen to be arbitrator or umpire shall, before proceeding to act as such in any case, make and subscribe a solemn declaration in a form similar to that which shall already have been made and subscribed by the commissioners, which shall be entered on the record of their proceedings. In the event of the death, absence, or incapacity of either of the commissioners, or of the arbitrator or umpire, or of their or his omitting, declining, or ceasing to act as such commissioner, arbitrator, or umpire, another and different person shall be appointed or named as aforesaid to act as such commissioner, arbitrator, or umpire, in the place and stead of the person so originally appointed or named as aforesaid, and shall make and subscribe such declaration as aforesaid.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Such commissioners shall proceed to examine the coasts of the North American provinces and of the United States, embraced within the provisions of the first and second articles of this treaty, and shall designate the places reserved by the said articles from the common right of fishing therein.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The decision of the commissioners and of the arbitrator or umpire shall be given in writing in each case, and shall be signed by them respectively.</p>
