Washington was too wise to be misled, and he issued a proclamation of
neutrality, forbidding citizens of the United States to equip vessels to

demanded his recall. This demand was complied with, and he was ordered

as envoy extraordinary to that country to demand redress. A treaty was
agreed upon and ratified by the Senate in June, 1795, which provided
that the British garrisons should be withdrawn from the western posts by
June 1, 1796; free inland navigation upon lakes and rivers was
guaranteed to both nations, except that the United States was excluded
from the territory of the Hudson Bay Company; British vessels were

shut out from the rivers and harbors of the British provinces, with the

debts incurred before the war were guaranteed to British creditors, if
such debts were collectible by an American creditor; Great Britain was
