Many at tempts were made in the House to amend, it, all of which failed except one, which limits the interest on the temporary loan at a rale not exceeding six per cent. By the provisions of this bill, in conjunction with the law of la-si winter, the commis- sioners of the Canal Fund arc authorized io borrow 1.000.000 of dollars for the expenditure of 1826 ; and 1^200,000 dol lars for 1827 and 1828 each, which is supposed to be suftkient for the comple tion of the work.
