 Oni submitted with his despatch of April 8,1817, a verbose treaty project,
largely copied from Pinckney's Treaty of 1795. It was evidently intended
chiefly as a basis for diplomatic bargaining, became he said emphatically
that the United States would not accept such a settlement, and that the matter
could be solved only by mediation. His plan did not include the cession of the
Floridas, but left most of the Louisiana region to the United States, drawing
the limit along the Bed Biver to the Thirty-sixth Parallel and leaving the rest
of the definition to a commission. He also submitted alternative suggestions
closely similar to Heredia's third and fourth. See A.LN., Est., 5660.

ratify his actions unless the minister stayed within the limits of his instruc-
tions.
