THE CONNECTICUT COURANT, Hartford, July 27, 1803  A very historic issue, as page 3 contains: "By the President of the United States of America. A Proclamation" for convening a special session of Congress to deal with the pending Louisiana Purchase.
Of significance is the report which follows, which includes in part: "Dispatches from the American Ministers at Paris...and contain the treaty, signed on April 30th, which conveys Louisiana to the United States. The extent of the territory ceded is defined by a general reference to that in which Louisiana was ceded to France. The terms are, 1st: 11,350,000 dollars to be paid to France in 6 per cent stock...Second, an assumption of the debts due and captures provided for under the Convention of September 30th, 1800, between the United States and the French Republic..." with much more on the historic purchase. It ends with: "...It is understood that the ratification of the First consul is on its way to the United States. Immediately after the ratifications of the treaty, possession is to be delivered."
A very historic report.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed.
