and instructions have been trans
mitted to the Minister OF the Uni
ted States at ST. Petersburg, to

west coast of this continent. 4
, similar proposal has been made by
. His Imperial Majesty to the gov
r ernmcnt Of Great Britain, which
has likewise been acceded TO. The
. government Of the United States
: has been desirous, by this friendly
A proceeding, OF manifesting the
, great value which they have inva
e riably attached to the friendship Q
e the Emperor, and their solicitud'
r to cultivate the best understanding
J. with his government. In the dis
t. cussion to which this interest ha
}. given rise, and in the arrangement
: bv which they may terminate, tn
It occasion has been Judged propt
