Article 2
The first paragraph on the boundaries of Louisiana contained in article 2 of the English reply is accorded by France. The second paragraph is neither clear nor exact, and in last resort it is proposed that it be worded as follows:
The intermediate Indian tribes between the lakes and the Mississippi within the line shall be neutral and independent under the king's protection;' and those outside the line on the English side shall likewise be neutral and independent under the protection of the King of England. The English traders shall also be forbidden to go among the Indian tribes beyond the line on either (page 396) side; but the said tribes shall not be hindered in freedom of trade with the French and English carried on at present.
