VlSIT TO THE INDIANS DRIVEN BY THE RUSSIANS FROM ARCHANGEL. IN September, 1803, an expedition sailed from Cronstadt, Russia, for the Pacific Ocean, consist- ing of the two ships Nadeschda and Neva, the former commanded by Capt. Krusenstern, and the latter by Capt. Lisiansky, both experienced officers of the Imperial navy. This was the first adventure the Russians ever attempted in the Southern Ocean, and was prompted by the ex- tension of the trade of the Russian American Fur Company. It had th...e double purpose of sup- plying the settlements on the Northwest Coast, and negotiating a commercial treaty with Japan, which, being near the settlements, would be a convenient place to obtain provisions and dispose of commodities. Encouragement had been given by a letter received many years previous from the Japanese, granting permission to come to 36 the port of Nangasaki ; on the strength of this letter, and in view of the advantages and facilities for intercourse, it was thought expedient by the Imperial government to send an embassy to this strange people.
