In support of his argument that the term ‘‘ Pacific Ocean” was not understood at 
the time as including Behring’s Sea, Mr. Blaine has quoted a note which, it appears, 
was presented by the Russian Minister at Washington after the ratification of the 
Treaty of the 5th (17th) April, 1824, between the United States and Russia. 
In this note Baron Tuy]! stated that ‘‘the Aleutian Islands, the coasts of Siberia, 
and the Russian possessions in general on the north-west coast of America to 59° 30! 
of north latitude were positively excepted from the liberty of hunting, fishing, and 
commerce stipulated in favour of United States citizens for ten years.” The rights 
alluded to could not be those contained in the Ist Article of the Treaty, which is 
unlimited in duration, but those of frequenting the interior seas, harbours, and 
creeks conferred by Article IV.
