Report prepared at the request of the United States Senate containing the government correspondence regarding the retirement of Constantin Catacazy, Russian minister to the United States from 1869 to 1871. President Ulysses S. Grant and the State Department sought the removal of Catacazy due to his poor conduct. However, he remained as minister until after Grand Duke Alekseĭ’s trip to the United States, because a minister needed to be present for the visit and there was not enough time to replace Catacazy before Alekseĭ’s arrival.
