In 1784, Congress deputed Gen. HULL, to demand of Gen. HALDIMAND, the Governor of Canada, the surrender of the Posts within the United States, then and now garrisoned by British troops.
And this demand Great-Britain has refused to comply with, notwithstanding the solemn stipulations of treaty; and notwithstanding every alledged cause for their retention has been removed in the adoption of the Federal Constitution. If a war should break out between England and the House of Bourbon, and if by accident, or otherwise, Great-Britain should gain any material advantage over its enemies, perhaps the disadvantage of their holding our Frontier posts may be more apparent, than it now appears to be.
