  "In settling the peace of 1783, England ceded the Floridas to Spain, including, under that denomination, all that part of Louisiana which she had received from France.  Spain continued in possession of the whole country, under these denominations, until 1800, when she retroceded to France the colony and province of Louisiana, without defining its boundaries," &c.
