Ttm sums in relation to which this failure has ta , ken place amount to 410,000 dollars, and there can, therefore, be relied on for -the jro,. cceds of this loan, only 2,52000 dollars. Monies have been heretofore obtained by the U. States on loan in.urope, upon favorable terms, and the punctuality and fidelity with which they were repaid, having established their credit there on a firm and respectable footing,' it was, determined, ia consequence of the difficulties experienced in obtaining at home the sums requisite for the publie service, to try, the market in thai quarter. To effect this pur pose, the requisite powers and instructions have been given for negotiating a loan for 6,000,000 dollars, as a further part of the loan of 20,000, oqo, authorised by the act of the 34th of March Jast ; and in order to facilitate this object, 0 per ccut stock to that amount has been constb tuted and transmitted, with directions-for it -sale, if that shall be found the most advantage ous mode for obtaioingthe money. The result, however, of this experiment is not certain ; and the proceeds, 'In case it., should be successful. will not come into the treasury in the course of the present year." They cannot, therefore, be placed among the resources of this year ; but as thjs sum forms a part of that which was ao thorised to be borrowed, and which will be new eessary for the service of the present year, furf v ther authority will be required from congress for obtaining this sum by loan or otherwise: inf which case the proceeds of the negotiation un- aenaeo in rjurope win oe appiicaoie 10 inp service of the ensuing year. , With a view to avoid the inconvenient iny- erease of stock in the market j and it$ consequent depreciation, an effort was made to obtain tern -porary loans from the banks by special con, traefs ; but the attempt was not attended with ' success.
