Notice is hereby given, that all British subjects who, since the said 24th day of December, 1814, have presented to the British Government for its interposition with that of the United States, claims which yet remain unsettled and which they desire to have laid before the Commissioners under the said Convention, are required to notify such desire to the Agent of Her Majesty's Government under the said Convention; and to transmit to him forthwith any further statements or particulars of their claims, together with the documentary evidence necessary to support them.
