EXECUTIVE MEASURES

We understand that the following arrangements have been decided in the cabinet at Washington, as necessary to meet the exigency of the present crisis.

The immediate equipment of a national vessel to carry dispatches to our minister at the court of London.—Congress to convene in the month of October.—A call on the several states for their respective quotas of 100,000 infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to be held in a state of preparation for field or garrison service.

The immediate repair of those fortifications on the sea board, which may require it—and the erection of new defences, where they may be deemed necessary.

The equipment of fifty gun-boats.

These preparatory steps being taken, the U. States, it is said, will suspend further proceedings until the determination of the British government is known, which, may be expected about the time that congress assembles—when, we trust the united spirit of the American people, will give effectual support to the decision of their government, whatever it may be—unless the repeated outrage of the British marine banditti should, in the intermediate time, render vigorous offensive operations necessary.
