PIEHIM DE POLETICA.

Mr. Adams, Secretary of State,
Washington, Feb. 11, 1822.
Ilete follows a copy of the edict, of which notice has been
heretofore more than once taken in the Rational Intelligences.
TUE SLCRETART Or STATE TO KR. rOLSTICA.
Department of State, Washington, Feb. 25,1822.
Ste—l have had the honour of receiving your Note of the 11th
instant, inclosing a printed copy of the regulations adopted by the
Russian American Company, and sanctioned by his Imperial
Majesty, relating to the commerce of foreigners in the waters bor-
dering on the establishments of that Company upe the North-
west Coast of America.
I am directed by the President of the United States to inform
you, that he has seen with surprise in this edict, the assertion of
a territorial claim on the part of Russia, extending to the 51st
dJgree of north latitude on this continent ; and a regulation
t adicting to all commercial vessels, other than Russian, urn the
penalty of seizure and confiscation, the approach upon the high
sea, within one hundred Italian miles of the shotes to which that
claim is made to apply. The relatious of the United States
with his Impala' Majesty have always been of the moat friendly
character; and it is du: earnest desire of the Government to pre-
serve them in that state. It was expected, before an act which
should define the boundary between the territories of the United
States and Russia on this continent, that the same would have
been arranged by treaty between the parties. To exclude the
vessels of our citizens from the shore, beyond the ordinary dis-
tance to which that territurial jurisdiction extends, bas excited
.:11 greater surprise.
This Ordinance affects so the rights of the United
at Stes, and of their citizens, (tlesa erl am instructed to inquire
whether you are authorised to give explanatioes of the grounds I
of right, upon principles generally recognized by the laws and
usages of nations, which can warrant the claims and regulations
contained in it?
I avail myself of this occasion to assure you of my distin-
guished consideration. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
The Chevalier de Poletica, Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary from Russia.
(TRANSLATION.)
THE C'RETALIRR Cl TOLETICA TO THE SICLIMART Or STATE.
Ste—l received, two days since. the letter which you did me
the honour to address to me, on the same day, by order of the
President of the United States, in answer to my Note of the
11th current. by which I discharged the orders of my Govern-
ment in communicating to you the new regulation adopted by
the Russian American Company, and sanctioned by his Ma-
jecty the Emperor, my august Sovereign, on the 4th (16th) of
September, 1821, relative to foreign commerce, in the waters
which border upon the establishments of the said Company, ea
the North-west coast of America.
Readily yielding, Sir, to the desire expressed by you in your
letter, cf knowing the rights and principles upon which axe
flunded the determinate limits of the Russian possessions on the
North-west coast of America, from Behring's Strait to the 51st
degree of North latitude, I am happy to fulfil this task, by only
calling your attention to the following historical facts, the authen-
ticity of which cannot be contested. The first discoveries of the
Russians on the North-west continent of America, go back to
the time of the Emperor Peter I. They belong to the attempt,
made towards the end of the reign of this great Monarch, to
find a passage from the icy sea into the Pacific Ocean.
In 1728, the celebrated Captain Sebring made his first voyage.
7:14: recital of his discoveries attracted the attention of the Go-
vernment, and the Empress Anne intrusted to Captain Brining
(1741) a new expedition in these same latitudes. She sent with
'him the Academicians Golan, Defile de la Crayere,
Stella, Fisher, Kraginicoff, Krscheninicuff, and others; and
the first chart of these countries which is known, was the result
of their labours, published in 1758. Besides the strait which
hews the name of the chief of this expedition, he discovered a
great part of the islands which are found between the two Con-
tinents. Cape or Mount St. Elias, which still bears this name
upon all the charts, was so called by Captain Behring, who dis-
covered it on the day of the feast of this Saint ; and his second,
Captain Tebiricolf, pushed his discoveries as far as the 49th
de-
gree of north latitude.
'The first private expeditions undertaken upon the north-west
toast of America go back as far as the year 1743.
In 1783, the Russian estalalishmeats had already extended as
fir as the island of Kodiak (or Kichtak). In 1778, Cook found
them at Ounalashka, and some Russian Inscriptions at Kodiak.

In this conviction the Emperor, my august
terutged that jib good right, and the obligation im-
posed by Paovtaxacz upon tim to protect, with all his power,
1 Wisterats of his-subjects, sufficiently justified the measures last
lobes by his Imperial. Ifejesty in favour of the Russian Ameri-
ena Company, without its being necessary to clothe them with
the sanction of treaties.
I dim be more succinct, Sir, in the exposition of the motives
whimildelernalned the Imperial Government to prohibit foreign
mania foam approaching the north-west coast of America, be-
Uta Russia, within the distance of at least 100 Italian miles.
tnneasure, however severe it etas at first view appear, is,
alter all, but a measure of prevention. It is exclusively directed
sedan the culpable enterprises of foreign adventurers, who, not
nantent with exercising upon the coasts above-mentioned an il-
lkit trade, very prejudicial to the rights reserved entirely to the
1 Russian American Company, take upon them besides to furnish
arms and ammunition to the natives in the Russian possessions
lin America, exciting them, likewise, in every manner to resist-
ance and revolt against the Authorities there established.
The American Government, doubtless, recollects that the ir-
regular conduct of these adventurers, the majority of whom was
composed of American citizens, has been the object of the moat
pressing remonstrances on the part of Russia to the Federal Go-
vernment, from the time that diplomatic missions were orga-
nized between the two countries. These remonstrances. re-
peated at different isms, remain constantly without effect, and
the inconvenience, to which they ought to bring a remedy, con-

times to increase: •
The Innen! Government, respecting the intentions of the
American Government, has always abstained front attributing
the ill success of its remonstrances to any other motives than
those which flow, if I may be allowed the expression, from the
very nature of the institutions which govern the national affairs
of the American Federation. But the high opinion which the
Emperor has always entertained of the rectitude of the Ame-
rican Government, cannot exempt him from the care which his
sense of justice towards his own subjects imposes upon him.—
Pacific means not having brought any alleviation to the just
grievances of the Russian American Company, against foreign
navigation in the waters which environ their establishinents on
the north-west coast of America, the Imperial Government saw
itself under the necessity of having recourse to the means of
coercion, and of measuring the rigour according to the invete-
rate character of the evil to which it wished to put a stop. Yet
it is easy to discover, on examining closely the last regulation of
the Russian American Company, that no spirit of hostility had
anything to do with its formation. The most minute precau-
den have been taken in it to prevent abases of authority ott
the part of Commanders of Russian cruisers appoLted for the
lineendoe of said regulation. At the same time, it has not been
'Neglected to give all the timely publicity necess.sy to put those'
se their guard against whom the measure is aimed.
Its action, therefore. can only reach the foreign vessels,which,
k spins of the notification, will expose themselves to seizure by
upon the line marked out in the regulation. The Go-i
keumend igen itself that these cases wiU be very rare; if all
remains is at present—net one.
I ought, in the last place, to request you to consider, Sir, that
ifin Russian possessions in the Pacific Ocean extend on the north-
west- non of America, from Behring's Strait to the Slit degree
of north latitude, and on the opposite side of Asia and the islands
adjacent, front the same Strait to the 45th degree. The extent
or sea, of which these possessions form the limits, comprehends
all the conditions which are ordinarily attached to shut seas
( mersfersetss) ; and the Russian Government might consequently
judge itself authorised to exercise upon this sea the rights of so.
vertignty, and especially that of entirely interdicting the entraine
of foreigners. But it preferred only asserting its essential rights,'
without taking any advantage of localities.
The Emperor, my august Sovereign, sets a very high value 1
upon the maintenance of the relations of amity and good under-
standing which have till now subsisted between the two coun-
tries. The dispositions of his Imperial Majesty in this regard
have never failed appearing at all times, when an occasion has
presented itself in theyolitical relations of the United States with
the European Powers; and, surely, in the midst of a general
peace, Russia does not think of aiming a blow at the maritime
interests of the United States, she who has constantly respected
them in those dlthcult circumstances in which Europe has been
seen to be placed in the latter times, and the inflaence of which
the United States have been unable to avert.
I have the honour to be, with high consideration, Sir, your
nest obedient humble servant, PIERRE LE POLETICA.
Washington, February 28,1822.
1118 411CATTART OF WA= TO MIL DT roarnee.
Department of State Washington, March 30.
Stis--I leave had the honour of receiving your letter of the 28th
alt. which Ms been submitted to the consideration of the Presi- I
dent of the United States.
From the deduction which it contains of the grounds upon
which the Articles of regulation of the Russian American Com-
pany have now, for the first time. ezteoded the claim of Russia
on the north-west coast of America to the 51st degree of north
latitude, its only foundation appears to be the existence of the
small settlement of Nov Arebangelsk, situated, not on the Ame-
rican Continent, but upon a small island in latitude 57. And
the principle upon which you state that this claim is now ad-
vanced is, that the 51st degree is equidistant from the settle-
ment' of Nov Arebangelsk and the establishment of the United
States at the mouth of Columbia river. But from the sante
statement it appears, that in the year 1799, the limits prescribed
by the Emperor Paul to the Russian American Company were
Lod at the 55th degree of latitude; and that, in assuming now
the baits& of 51, a new pretension is asserted, to which no sot-

The Chevalier de Poled's_
Envoy Extraordinary and- Waster Plenipotentiary from Eustis.

due of March 21 (April 2), alludes to the Chatter

dent from the structure of the 3d Article of die Act d Weer-
partition, which authorizes the Company to farm odeblishinents
south of the 55tb degree of north latitude.
Ed what will dispel even the shadow of doubt In this regard,
is the audios& fact, that, In 1789; the traish packet St.
Clerks, cammaded by Captain Hare, found, in the latitude
48 and 49, Stamina establishments to the number of eight, /Mo-
deling in the whole of 90 families and 462 individuals. These
were the descendants of the companions of Captain Tchincor,
who were supposed.tM then to have perished.
With such titles justifying the rights claimed by Rude, you
yourself, Sir, will agree, that it is perfectly immaterial whether
the Russian establishment at Nov Archangelsk be small or large.
If the right of territorial possessions were measured according to
the dimensions of the points occupied; what would become of
,Mcrae of the United States upon a very considerable extent of the
ass& north-west coast? for the only American establishment
ever yet known is certainly very inferior in stability to that of,
Ain& at Nov Archangelsk.
In the same manner the great extent of the Pacific Ocean, at
A Stst degree of latitude, cannot invalidate the right which
Ens& may have of considering that part of the ocean as close.
But, as the Imperial Government has not thought fit to take
advantage of that right, all further discussion on this subject
would be idle.
As to the rights claimed for the citizens of the United States
of trading with the natives of the country a the North.wed
coast of America, without the limits of the jurisdiction betting"
leg to Russia, the Imperial Government will not certainly think
of limiting it, and still less of attacking it there; but I cannot
dissemble, Sir, that this same trade, beyond the 51st degree,
will meet with difficulties and inconveniences for which the
America+, owners will only have to accuse their own impru-
dence, after the publicity which has been given to the measures
taken by the Imperial Government for maintaining the rights of
the Russian Awmulaus Company in their absolute integrity.

TILE EVENING STAR.

The subject el right then comes under discussion;
and, as will be men, from the two following per.
graphs, is pretty strongly contested. Mr. Ati.isse
the. Amerkan• Secretary, says, " From the period,
of the exigence of the United States as as jade:
pendentmatioo, their vessels have freely onsigatui
thew seas ; and the rigid to navigate dm is • pirt
-that indigroulatoe." The Russian negneiator, in con:
alusiori;" says, " I cannot dissemble, Sir, that this
sante tilide beyond the 51st degree, will meet with
digculties and inconveniences, for which the Ame.
rican owners will only have.to accuse their own im.
prudence, after the publicity which has been given
to the measures taken by the Imperial Government
for maintaining the rights of the Russian American
Company in their absolute integrity."
From the tenoue-of the correspondence it will be
seen that both parties argue as if the only question
of right was between themselves, which we think it
will be easytto prove is not the case. We will, there-
fore, examine what claim Russia can reasonably set
up to the territory in. question.
We will admit that Russia would have an un-
doubted claim to the two shores of Behring's Straits
on the score of priority of discovery ; that on the side
of Asia having been coasted by DESIINEW in 1648,
and that of America visited by BEHU!NG in 1741, AS
far down as the lat. 59 deg. and the peaked moun-
tain, since generally known by the name Of Captain
Fairweather ; to the southward of this point, how.
ever, Russia has not the slightest claim. The Spa.
niards visited the northern parts of this coast in 1774,
when Don JUAN PEREZ traced it from attitude 53.
153. to a promontory in latitude 55. to which he save
the name of Santa Margarita, being the north-west
extremity of Queen Charlotte's Island of our Charts;
land on his return• touched at Nootka, about which tr,e
were once on the point of going to war. And another
Spanish Captain reached as far as 57. 58. in 1775.
Three years after these Spanish voyages Captain
Coots reconnoitred the whole coast more clo.el-s
and proceeded as high up as the Icy Cape; and
though every portion of it, as far as Cook's Inlet, in
latitude 61. 15. .was accurately explored by Vas-
' COUVIM, yet, on the gropnd of priority of discovery,
England has no claim to territorial possession, which
rests between Russia and Spain ; but on the same
principle Russia would be completely excluded
from any portion of it to the southward of 59.
She has, however, been permitted to form a settle-
ment at the head of Norfolk Sound, in latitude 57,
the very limits of her discovery ; and this has telnpted
her to presume that no opposition would be offered
to an extension of the territory down to the 51st
degree of latitude, which includes all the detailed
discoveries of Coot( and VANCOUVER—that is, Ne..v
Hanover, New COrnwall, New Norfolk, on the Main,
and the Islands of King George, Queen Charlotte,
and Prince of Wales, upon the coat.
It has apparently escaped the recollection of the
Autocrat of all the Russias, that if his example were
to be followed by the maritime nations of Europe,
his own ports would be hermetically sealed, and an
end put at once to the assumption of long-appropri-
ated coasts by Russia. There is another circumstance
of which his Imperial MAJESTY .seems to have been
ignorant when he issued his sweeping Ukase, namely,
that the whole country, from the boundary of the
United States in latitude 48. to latitude 56. is now,
and has long been, in the actual possession of the
British North-West Company. The communication
with this vast territory is by the Peace River, which,
crossing the Rocky Mountains from the Westward in
latitude North 56. and longitude 121. West, falls into
the Polar Sea by the Mackenzie River. The country
behind them to the Westward has been named by the
settlers New Caledonia,' and is in extent from North
to South about 500 miles, and from East to West 300.
—The North-west Company have a post in latitude
54. 30. N. longitude 125. W. distant about 180 miles
from the Observatory Inlet of Vancouver, the head
of which lies in 55. 15. and 129. 44. W. longitude,
where we believe the United Companies of the North-
west and Hudson's Bay have formed an establish-
ment, and thus opened a direct communication be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific, the whole way
by water, with the exception of a very few miles
across the high lands which divide the sources of the
rivers, and give them opposite directions.
Thus, then, it is obvious, that as we have actual
possession of the six degrees of coast usurped by
Russia, and now contending for by America, the claims
of either must be nugatory; and that, although Great
Britain may stand aloof until Russia and the United
States have settled their quarrel, she must ultimately
tell them that they have been disputing upon a point
which did not concern either of them ; and that she
has not only the right and the possession, but the
power to defeed both, by whomsoever they may be
attacked.
