Whereas it was stipulated by the second Article in the Treaty of Peace of one thousand seven hundred and eighty three between His Britannic Majesty and the United States of America that the boundary of the United States should comprehend "all Islands within twenty leagues of any part of the shores of the United States and lying between lines to be drawn due East from the points where the aforesaid boundaries between Nova Scotia on the one part and East Florida on the other shall respectively touch the Bay of Fundy and the Atlantic Ocean, excepting such Islands as now are or heretofore have been within the limits of Nova Scotia, and whereas the several Islands in the Bay of Passamaquoddy, which is part of the Bay of Fundy, and the Island of Grand Menan in the said Bay of Fundy, are claimed by the United States as being comprehended within their aforesaid boundaries, which said Islands are claimed as belonging to His Britannic Majesty as having been at the time of and previous to the aforesaid Treaty of one thousand seven hundred and eighty three within the limits of the Province of Nova Scotia: In order therefore finally to decide upon these claims it is agreed that they shall be referred to two Commissioners to be appointed in the following manner: viz: One Commissioner shall be appointed by His Britannic Majesty and one by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate thereof, and the said two Commissioners so appointed shall be sworn impartially to examine and decide upon the said claims according to such evidence as shall be laid before them on the part of His Britannic Majesty and of the United States respectively.

鉴于英国国王陛下与美利坚合众国之间的一千七百八十三年和平条约第二条规定，美国的边界应包括“距美国海岸任何部分二十联盟以内的所有岛屿，以及位于从新斯科舍省与东佛罗里达州之间的上述边界线分别与芬迪湾和大西洋相接的点向正东绘制的线之间的所有岛屿，但现在或迄今一直在新斯科舍省范围内的岛屿除外，而美国声称属于芬迪湾一部分的帕萨马科迪湾的几个岛屿和上述芬迪湾的格兰德梅南岛被理解为在其上述边界内，而这些岛屿则声称在上述一千零七条约时和之前属于英国国王陛下新斯科舍省范围内一百八十三名：因此，为了最终对这些索赔作出决定，同意将他们提交给按以下方式任命的两名专员：即：一名专员应由英国陛下任命，另一名专员应由美国总统任命，并经参议院的建议和同意，如此任命的两名专员应宣誓根据所提供的证据公正地审查和决定所述索赔英国国王陛下和美国国王分别在他们面前。

The said Commissioners shall meet at St Andrews in the Province of New Brunswick, and shall have power to adjourn to such other place or places as they shall think fit.

上述委员应在新不伦瑞克省的圣安德鲁斯举行会议，并有权休会到他们认为合适的其他地点。

上述委员应通过亲笔盖章的声明或报告，决定上述若干岛屿分别属于两个缔约方中的哪一个，以符合上述一千七百八十三和平条约的真实意图。

And if the said Commissioners shall agree in their decision both parties shall consider such decision as final and conclusive.

如果上述委员同意其决定，双方均应将该决定视为最终决定。

It is further agreed that in the event of the two Commissioners differing upon all or any of the matters so referred to them, or in the event of both or either of the said Commissioners refusing or declining or wilfully omitting to act as such, they shall make jointly or separately a report or reports as well to the Government of His Britannic Majesty as to that of the United States, stating in detail the points on which they differ, and the grounds upon which their respective opinions have been formed, or the grounds upon which they or either of them have so refused declined or omitted to act.

双方进一步商定，如果两位委员对所提交的全部或任何事项存在分歧，或者两位或其中一位委员拒绝或拒绝或故意不采取此类行动，则他们应联合或单独向英国国王陛下政府提交一份或多份关于美国情况的报告，详细说明他们的分歧点，以及形成各自意见的理由，或提出不同意见的理由。他们或他们中的任何一个人都拒绝或不采取行动。

And His Britannic Majesty and the Government of the United States hereby agree to refer the report or reports of the said Commissioners to some friendly Sovereign or State to be then named for that purpose, and who shall be requested to decide on the differences which may be stated in the said report or reports, or upon the report of one Commissioner together with the grounds upon which the other Commissioner shall have refused, declined or omitted to act as the case may be.

英国陛下和美国政府特此同意将上述专员的一份或多份报告提交给随后为此目的指定的某个友好主权国家或国家，并应要求他们就上述报告中可能陈述的差异做出决定，或者根据一名专员的报告以及另一名专员根据具体情况拒绝、拒绝或忽略采取行动的理由做出决定。

And if the Commissioner so refusing, declining, or omitting to act, shall also wilfully omit to state the grounds upon which he has so done in such manner that the said statement may be referred to such friendly Sovereign or State together with the report of such other Commissioner, then such Sovereign or State shall decide ex parse upon the said report alone.

如果专员如此拒绝、拒绝或不采取行动，还应故意省略说明其这样做的理由，以便将上述声明与其他专员的报告一起提交给该友好的主权或国家，则该主权或国家应仅根据上述报告做出解释决定。

And His Britannic Majesty and the Government of the United States engage to consider the decision of such friendly Sovereign or State to be final and conclusive on all the matters so referred.

英国国王陛下和美国政府承诺将此类友好主权国家或国家的决定视为对所提及的所有事项的最终决定。

Whereas neither that point of the Highlands lying due North from the source of the River St Croix, and designated in the former Treaty of Peace between the two Powers as the North West Angle of Nova Scotia, nor the North Westernmost head of Connecticut River has yet been ascertained; and whereas that part of the boundary line between the Dominions of the two Powers which extends from the source of the River st Croix directly North to the above mentioned North West Angle of Nova Scotia, thence along the said Highlands which divide those Rivers that empty themselves into the River St Lawrence from those which fall into the Atlantic Ocean to the North Westernmost head of Connecticut River, thence down along the middle of that River to the forty fifth degree of North Latitude, thence by a line due West on said latitude until it strikes the River Iroquois or Cataraquy, has not yet been surveyed: it is agreed that for these several purposes two Commissioners shall be appointed, sworn, and authorized to act exactly in the manner directed with respect to those mentioned in the next preceding Article unless otherwise specified in the present Article.

鉴于高地位于圣克罗伊河源头正北的那一点，以及在两国之间的前和平条约中指定为新斯科舍西北角的那一点，以及康涅狄格河最西北端的源头都尚未确定；两国领土之间的边界线部分，从圣克罗伊河源头直接向北延伸到上述新斯科舍省西北角，从那里沿着上述高地，将流入圣劳伦斯河的河流与流入大西洋的河流分开，一直到康涅狄格河最西北的源头，从那里沿着该河的中部向下延伸到北纬四十五度，从那里沿上述纬度的正西线直到它到达易洛魁河或卡塔拉基河为止，尚未进行测量：一致同意，为了这几个目的，应任命、宣誓和授权两名专员，以完全按照前一条中提到的方式行事，除非本条另有规定。

The said Commissioners shall meet at se Andrews in the Province of New Brunswick, and shall have power to adjourn to such other place or places as they shall think fit.

上述专员有权根据上述一千七百八十三年和平条约的规定查明和确定上述各点，并应根据上述规定对上述从圣克罗伊河源头到易洛魁河或卡塔拉基河的边界进行测量和标记。

The said Commissioners shall make a map of the said boundary, and annex to it a declaration under their hands and seals certifying it to be the true Map of the said boundary, and particularizing the latitude and longitude of the North West Angle of Nova Scotia, of the North Westernmost head of Connecticut River, and of such other points of the said boundary as they may deem proper.

上述专员应制作上述边界的地图，并附上由其亲笔盖章的声明，证明该地图是上述边界的真实地图，并详细说明新斯科舍省西北角、康涅狄格河最西北端的纬度和经度，以及他们认为适当的上述边界的其他点的纬度和经度。

And both parties agree to consider such map and declaration as finally and conclusively fixing the said boundary.

双方同意将此类地图和声明视为最终确定的边界。

And in the event of the said two Commissioners differing, or both, or either of them refusing, declining, or wilfully omitting to act, such reports, declarations, or statements shall be made by them or either of them, and such reference to a friendly Sovereign or State shall be made in all respects as in the latter part of the fourth Article is contained, and in as full a manner as if the same was herein repeated.

如果上述两名委员意见不同，或者两者都不同，或者其中一人拒绝、拒绝或故意不采取行动，则此类报告、声明或陈述应由他们或其中一人作出，并且在所有方面提及友好主权或国家时，均应按照第四条后半部分的规定，并以与本文重复相同的方式完整进行。

Whereas by the former Treaty of Peace that portion of the boundary of the United States from the point where the fortyfifth degree of North Latitude strikes the River Iroquois or Cataraquy to the Lake Superior was declared to be "along the middle of said River into Lake Ontario, through the middle of said Lake until it strikes the communication by water between that Lake and Lake Erie, thence along the middle of said communication into Lake Erie, through the middle of said Lake until it arrives at the water communication into the Lake Huron; thence through the middle of said Lake to the water communication between that Lake and Lake Superior:" and whereas doubts have arisen what was the middle of the said River, Lakes, and water communications, and whether certain Islands lying in the same were within the Dominions of His Britannic Majesty or of the United States: In order therefore finally to decide these doubts, they shall be referred to two Commissioners to be appointed, sworn, and authorized to act exactly in the manner directed with respect to those mentioned in the next preceding Article unless otherwise specified in this present Article.

而根据前和平条约，从北纬四十五度撞击易洛魁河或卡塔拉基河到苏必利尔湖的那部分美国边界被宣布为“沿着所述河流中部进入安大略湖，穿过所述湖中部，直到它到达该湖和伊利湖之间的水路交通，从那里沿着所述交通中部进入伊利湖，穿过所述湖中部，直到到达进入湖的水路交通休伦；从那里穿过所述湖的中部，到达该湖和苏必利尔湖之间的水路交通：“尽管人们对所述河流、湖泊和水路交通的中部是什么，以及同一地区的某些岛屿是否属于英国陛下或美国的领土存在疑问：因此，为了最终解决这些疑问，应将他们提交给两名专员，以任命、宣誓和授权，以完全按照前一条款中提到的方式行事除非本条另有规定。

The said Commissioners shall meet in the first instance at Albany in the State of New York, and shall have power to adjourn to such other place or places as they shall think fit.

双方同意将此类指定和决定视为最终和决定性的。

And in the event of the said two Commissioners differing or both or either of them refusing, declining, or wilfully omitting to act, such reports, declarations, or statements shall be made by them or either of them, and such reference to a friendly Sovereign or State shall be made in all respects as in the latter part of the fourth Article is contained, and in as full a manner as if the same was herein repeated.

It is further agreed that the said two last mentioned Commissioners after they shall have executed the duties assigned to them in the preceding Article, shall be, and they are hereby, authorized upon their oaths impartially to fix and determine according to the true intent of the said Treaty of Peace of one thousand seven hundred and eighty three, that part of the boundary between the dominions of the two Powers, which extends from the water communication between Lake Huron and Lake Superior to the most North Western point of the Lake of the Woods;-to decide to which of the two Parties the several Islands lying in the Lakes, water communications, and Rivers forming the said boundary do respectively belong in conformity with the true intent of the said Treaty of Peace of one thousand seven hundred and eighty three, and to cause such parts of the said boundary as require it to be surveyed and marked.

进一步商定，最后提到的两名专员在履行了前条赋予他们的职责后，应并特此授权他们在宣誓后，根据上述一千七百八十三和平条约的真实意图，公正地确定和决定两国领土之间的边界部分，从休伦湖和苏必利尔湖之间的水路交通延伸到伍兹湖的最西北点；两国中哪一个位于形成上述边界的湖泊、水路和河流中的若干岛屿分别属于上述一千七百八十三和平条约的真实意图，并导致上述边界的某些部分需要进行测量和标记。

The said Commissioners shall by a Report or declaration under their hands and seals, designate the boundary aforesaid, state their decision on the points thus referred to them, and particularize the Latitude and Longitude of the most North Western point of the Lake of the Woods, and of such other parts of the said boundary as they may deem proper.
