ix leagues of the sea coast.

Thirdly, The government of West Florida, bounded to the Southward by
the Gulph of Mexico, including all islands within six leagues of the
coast from the river Apalachicola to lake Pontchartrain; to the
Westward by the said lake, the lake Maurepas, and the river
Mississippi; to the Northward, by a line drawn due East from that part
of the Mississippi which lies in thirty-one degrees North latitude, to
the river Apalachicola, or Catahouchee; and to the Eastward by the said
river.

Fourthly, The government of Grenada, comprehending the island of that
name, together with the Grenadines, and the islands of Dominico, St.
Vincent, and Tobago.

And to the end that the open and free fishery of our subjects may be
extended to, and carried on upon the coast of Labrador and the adjacent
islands, we have thought fit, with the advice of our said privy
council, to put all that coast, from the river St. John's to Hudson's
Streights, together with the islands of Anticosti and Madelaine, and
all other smaller islands lying upon the said coast, under the care and
inspection of our governor of Newfoundland.

We have also, with the advice of our privy council, thought fit to
annex the islands of St. John and Cape Breton, or Isle Royale, with the
lesser islands adjacent thereto, to our government of Nova Scotia.

We have also, with the advice of our privy council aforesaid, annexed
to our province of Georgia, all the lands lying between the rivers
Attamaha and St. Mary's.

And whereas it will greatly contribute to the speedy settling our said
new governments, that our loving subjects should be informed of our
paternal care for the security of the liberty and properties of those
who are, and shall become inhabitants thereof; we have thought fit to
publish and declare, by this our proclamation, that we have, in the
letters patent under our great seal of Great Britain, by which the said
governments are constituted, given express power and direction to our
governors of our said colonies respectively, that so soon as the state
and circumstances of the said colonies will admit thereof, they shall,
with the advice and consent of the members of our council, summon and
call general assemblies within the said governments respectively, in
such manner and form as is used and directed in those colonies and
provinces in America, which are under our immediate government; and we
have also given power to the said governor
