January 07, 1804
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL & MASSACHUSETTS FEDERALIST, Boston, Jan. 7, 1804 To acknowledge a formal consummation of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty, page 2 has a report from Washington that: "... received dispatches from New Orleans, whence it appears that on the 30th Nov. possession of LOUISIANA was publicly and solemnly delivered to France by the commissioners of Spain..".
This was the formality of Spain finally completing their cession of the Louisiana territory to France, as had been mandated by the Treaty of Ildefonso over 3 years previous.
Also, the back page has an advertisement headed: "Paul Revere & Son" with details on their bell foundry business.
Four pages, wear at the margins and two corners, scattered foxing.
