V. has been fhewn, from the Petition deliverei to the Crown by Mr. Wintkrop, and from the Tenor of the Charter he obtained, as well asfrom a Variety of Arguments, founded on authentic Records, that the faid Charter was intended only to cover the f7i Settlements. Purchafe and Conquefts of the old Colony, or poor Plantation" of Connecticut and that, by folemn Agreement, it was not to be extended fo far IVeJ joard, as to include even New Haven Colony. It is alfo lhewn, in the Pamphlet, that the Crown underftood the Charter in this Senfe; and, after pafting it, ftill continued to addres New Haveii as a diftinct Colony and Jurifditlion.

Arc. 10th. But if there had been nothing elfe, and if New Haven was to be left wholly out of the Queftion, the Settlements and Poffeffions of the Dutch, Swedes, which the Crowa had not conquered, and could not in 1662, did abfolutely bound and bar the Connecticut Charter tto the JVeJiivard, as much, and in the fame Senfe, as it was bounded and barred to the Northward, by the Maflichufetts Settlements. This is at length acknowledged, on the Part of Connecticut, by their own Commirjiane.s, in their Letter to Governor Penn, dated December 18, 177 1. tt tt tt tt The Dutch PofTeffion (fay they) of that Territory which was t.

afterwards granted to the Duke of York ocenfioned its being excepted out of the original Grant to the Council of Plymouth, and in FacSfc prevented its being ever vefted in the Crown, until the Conqueft thereof by Col. Nichols, in Auguft, 1664.. As that Territory, therefore, ivas not in 1662, in the Crown to grant, no Part of it could tah bv the Patent to Ctnneclicut." This Point, therefore, need not bs farther iiififtei upon, at leaft fo far as the Dutch Rights extended and that thef; were confidered as extending to the Province of Pennfylvania, 2s well as to New York and New Jer fey, will be (hewn under ano her Head. At prefent it is only further to beobferved, that the leaft Suggrrftion of a Defign, on the Part of Mr. Winthr to encroach up.n the Settlements of the Dutch, then in Amity with Enghnd, would have brought the Ambaffadors of the States General to oppofe his Grant.

Upon the whole, then, if it was clearly the of the Crown that the Conneticut Charter was not to extend, fo far Weft as to injare either the neighbouring Colony of New Haven, cr any of the Poffeffions of the Dutch, can it be imagined that a Right was fuppofed or intended to be given thereby, to ltap over all thefe Settlements, and to include aCountry Wefiviard of them, perhaps forty Times as large as all the Country which Connecticut then polTelTed, and prayed might be covered by a Charter. Such a Notion as this, to borrow fome. of Mr. Trumbull's Epithets, is an jdle Whim, egregioufly ftupid and ridiculous, trifling, impertinent and nugatory But to proceed, the Circumftances, under which Mr. Wwthrop obtained the Charter, as above fet forth, will at length furniih a Clue for unravelling the Myftery of this lingular Contrivance of leaving it loofe andabfolutely deftituu of any Extent or Length on one Side.

For altho he was bound bv his folemn Promifes not to hath much of the brogue in his fpeech Had on a brown coat, include New Haven, yet tt tt tt appears ftill tp have had a fecret Hope; 1 1 wiin yeilOW raeiai DUttOnS, Olue OermantOWn milled ItCCkineS. bv future Management, tn accnmnlifh thi Point, anrl rrh neateft and beft manner, and gives the market price tor old ftnped ticken trowfers, new Ihoes, with half worn plated buckles, old fixt Station with the Dutch, and therefore left the Charter ocen ii 1 1. i 1 pewter, bra's, or copper. aii uracis irom mercna ir, captains ana an 01a reic nat, mucn ltained by mortar; he can read and on that Quarter.

Reward. They muft either adhere to the Limits fet bv the Crown or, quitting them, take their Charter in its original 'Lime and dcfeElive State. The Reader, if he has not kept in Mind the Recital of the Charter Limits in a former Number, may be furprized at their being frequently called aw and defeclive, for fince if has been ftiewn, that the Intention of the Charter was only to cover the old Connecticut Plantation, and by Mr. Winthrcp's Promife, not even to extend fo far Weftward as to include Ncio Haven it might reafon ably be expected that fome Words in the Claufe defcribing its Limits, would juftify the prefent Attempt to extend it Wetlward, of all thofe Countries and Settlements which were originally intended to bound it. But the Fact is otherwife for Arc nth.

The Connecticut Charter, in its original State, bounds no particular Didricl or Country and it is only by a liberal Conftruclion of its Intention as above remarked, that it can be confidered as valid, with Refpefr, to the old Colony of Connecticut for which it was granted. To all other Purpofes it would have been abfolurely ineffectual, if the Crown had not afterwards fixt and extended it Limits and, except fo far as they were thus extended and fixt, it ftill continues ineffectual and void of all. Operation. 1 I fay then, that in its original State, the Connecticut Charter? defcribes ani bounds" no particular Diftridt or Country. This is the Point now to be proved and the Writer of the Pamphlet calls on any Mathematician or Geographer to lay down the Colony Lines from the Charter Defcription of them, viz.

all that Part of our Dominions in New England, in America, bounden on the Eaft by Narraganfet River, commonly called Narraganfct Bay, where the faid River falleth into the Sea; and on the North by the Line of the Maflachufetts Plantation, and on the South by the Sea; and in Longitude asthe Line of the Mafla chufetts Colony, running from Eaft to "Weft, that is to fay, from the faid Narraganfet Bay on the Eaft, to the South Sea on' the Weft Part." An Eaftern Boundary is here given, viz. Narreganftt Bay, which, may be found. A Northern Boundary is alfo implied, viz. as, cr peihaps upon "Maflachufetts Southern Line," which we know how to find, as that. Line ought to have been in 1662, by Sir Henry, Rofwell's Grant (under which the Maffachufctts was then held) altho" very different from the Line fettled long afterwards; between Maflfa chufetts and Connecticut, amidft numerous Bickerings, fcarcely yet compofed.

But every Tyro in Mathematics knows the Axiom, that Two right or Uraight Lines will not comprehend a Space." But' it may be faid the Charter gjyes, two Sea Botindarisi, vir. South by the Sea," and the Sooth Sea on the Weft ar.d thurwe fhali have four Boundaries, wh'eVeof three are ppon ten, viz. Narraganlct Eay "on the Eaft the Atlantic' Se? cn the.
