The Com mittee of Roads and Canals have con sidered this Canal to be one of the greatest importance,, not only to the adiacent States of Virginia and N.Car olina, where it is located, but to the Nation at large, as it will form a part lot the extensive line ol Canals content plated in the interior, and near the At lantic Uoast.

In June IttlS, I visited that canal which is one link of the contemplated inland navigv Uon, near and parallel to the seaboard, and destined to connect, ai ineir entiance into sea, all our mam slrcatns etnptpng into the Atlantic. . in February, isiy.tnis canai was mention ed in the report made by the Board compos ed of Navy OoJiiniissioners and Mditary En giaeers and a poiiitcd to recommend a road ot renaciiu, aim a iw a iai Depot, on the waters tf the Chesapeake.

Under a commercial point ot view, the Dig ntal Swamp Canal will contribute to a prompt, safe, and regular interchange of the manufac tured produce of the North, with the raw ma terials et the ooutn. I nis consideration had great weight with the Uoard, here above men tioned,- in their recommending Hampton lload to be defended by fortifications. - As to the line of inland navigation, of which the Dismal Swamp Canal is one link, it is to be observed, that other links are now either constructing or about to be made, cr i have been surveyed.

Uoon that point my impression is, that. Owing to the shallowness of those Sounds, their crafts cannot possess the same .draft of water as the crafts of our opeibai and, therefore, I think that, with a moderate expense the present dimensions and depth of tlie Dismal Swamp Canal, might be so enlarged, as to admit of the largest kind of craft navigating the Sounds of North Carolina. As to the locks, those built of stone upon the canal are of large size, having ninety-nix feet by eighteen ,m the clear. v ; : . . . I have the honor to be sir, rery respectfully, your obedient servant, . , . - ; , y . - BERNARD, Brig. Gen. . Major Gen Aim. Macomb, Ciiirf Engineer, Washington. s This bill requires that the United States' Board of Engineers shall examine the Canal, and approve of the proposed enlarged dimensions and report their opinion to the Secrmry of- War, and also that it is their opinion that the sura subscribed will be sufficient to complete the work according to such dimensions, before this Act is to go into effect. . It is believed that a vessel of a ca pacity to navigate the Sounds and pass iiuuugii tne dismal awamp uanal, will be capable of navigaiting the Bays and passing through all the Canals North of tue Uiesapeake. . ; The Locks on tlie Dismal Swamp Canal are, in their dimensions, nearlv etjual to the Chesapeake and Delaware canai, and their Boors are placed so far belov the. bottonv of the Canal as to aduiit tlie passage of vessels drawing sevens feet water and of the burthen i.f T ..r nr ....... i, .. . i- A fact is staled by the President of the Company, that there is at this time in the trace of the Canal a Coaster from New York, havirig'passed through two locks, taking in a cargo, and bound to the port at which she cleared. , .

This, it is supposed, will require the Canal to be eight feet deep, so as to be navigable for Bay Vessels and not to interrupt the noble line of interior navi gation contemplated to run paralled to the coast for so great a distance. The Committee will now perceive how much has actually been undertaken, and how little remains to be undertaken, to accomplish this interesting and grand National work. These improvements wVich I have mentioned, and which will not be very expensive, will complete the inland na vigation from Boston to lWufort, in North, Carolina, a distance' of ten or eleven hundred miles: from thence, I hope it will be found practicable to pro ceed to Georgia.
