The measures which the Intelligenar informed the public a few days ago 4 were put in a train of exe cution, the .effect of which would soon be ,seen,' have proved a complete abortion. After Armstrong disgraced himself, and was in part dismissed from service, we were told that Colonel Monroe aroald retrieve our character—that be was all that an Ame rican could wish, and inshort nobody was like Col.' Mob roe. He was accordingly appointed " Com mander-in-Chief of the troops in the vicinity of the district," — he wat invested with the supreme direc , lion o f war department so far as Armstrong did .not still hold on; he called to his aid our naval he roes Perry, Porter, and, Rodgers, who were sup. ported by a picked band of gallant seamen, and` clouds of militia, and not a man dare doubt for three days past, that Col. Monroe had • put ins triiio of execution measures' that 'would ensure the cep , tare of. Corn. Gordon's squadron, or at any rete l l prevent his passage down the Potowmac, unless he was strongly reinforced. Every thing favoured Col. Monroe's crterprise.
