onclude a treaty of peace with British commissioners, and that Gallatin and Bayard had departed for Russia, there to meet Mr. Adams. The Senate refused to confirm the nomination of Gallatin, because he still held the position of Secretary of the Treasury, and the attempt at mediation by Russia was a failure. The sympathy displayed by Russia with the American government at a critical period of the Civil War is well known; at a time when the attitude of Great Britain and France was doubtful, the appearance of Russian vessels in Northern waters was taken as an evidence of goodwill. More recently, in the great famine prevailing in that country, American sympathy was manifested substantially by the shipment of a large quantity of grain. Russia ceded Alaska to the United States for $7,200,000 by the treaty of March 30, 1867, and formal possession was taken by the United States Oct. 9, 1867. An extradition treaty between the two countries was negotiated, to take effect June 24, 1893.
