Mr. Blaine insists u|)on the correctness and validity of the Itosition of the I'nited States, in regard to Behring Sea. ;ie contends that Behring Sea was in no .sense inehided in the term " Pacific Ocean, in the negotiations of 1824-'25 with Russia. U)K)n the proof of this iMiint, he says, de- pends the whole (piestion between (ireat liritain and the United States. He then dwe!'1ain!y distinguished by names sejjarate from the Pacific Ocean. Owing to the im|)ortance and value of this sen under a distinct name, it woidd not have been included in the term " Putific Ocean," by mere With the niono|)oly of the Russian American Company no one inter- ferred. He refers to the Treaty of 1818," Article 3 of wiiich declared harlKiurs, &c., on the North V^'est Coast, free and ol)en for ten years. This, he says, made no ailjustmentof Russi' 'â claim to the north or those cif Spain to the south. He tlien ])roceeds to argue that the position of Messrs. Adams & Middleton, when combatting Russia's claims were not adverse to the present contention of the United States, and to examine trie treaties Ijetween Russia and United States and England, res|)ectivelv. He seeks to establish a precedent for the assumption of extraordinary- maritime jurisdiction from England's interdiction of the approach of vessels of all powers to within eight leagues of the Island of St. Helena, during the imprison- ment of Napoleon.
