The Spanish territory directly drained into the Gulf of Mexico west of the Mississippi River, or into the Gulf of California, or the Spanish and Oregon territory drained into the Pacific Ocean, or the territory drained into Hudson Bay, nevor belonged to France by virtue of La Salle s discovery and proclamation of 1682, when the limits of Louisiana were defined and 12 LOUISIANA PURCHASE PROGRESS MAPS. title to these districts was neither offered nor transferred by France to the United States in ...the sale of 1803. 2. French title to Gulf territory from the Mississippi Kiver to Paim River, on the Gulf coast of Florida, as a part of original Louisiana, was as good as French title to the Mississippi Valley, for both districts came under the French flag at the same time and for the same reason, viz, the discoveries of La Salle and his proclamation based thereon, at the mouth of the Mississippi River, April 9, 1682. It therefore follows that subsequent cessions of "the whole territory known under the name of Louisiana, " or of "the colony or province of Louisiana, with the same extent * * * that it had when France possessed it, " conveyed title to this territory just as surely as they conveyed title to territory drained by the Mississippi River and its tributaries, and the title thus conveyed was just as good.
