that Davis is very violent, and urges The
strongest measures for reparntlon.
Orders have been sent to Pensacola, Nor

WASHINGTON, March 80, 10 p. NJ.
Another consultation with mis- Cabinet has
determined the President 10 draw from the
different stations every vessel which can pos
sibly be spared, and order them forthwith to
join the Cuff squadron. A large portion OF
the late navyapprnprlatlons Will be expended
in providing steamers, ostensbIy to trans
port provisions, but really TO transport men
md military stores to our Southern coast.-
A decided step is to he tken, aud the conse-
qucnces left to take care of themselves
War is the only theme discussed on the
streets to day.
An extra session Of Congress is regarded
SIS impracticable, NJ only three o! the South
ern States could be represented. President
Pierce will adopt Mr.. Folks plan, and con-
slider state of war existing.
am happy in being able to assure you
that the policy now resolved upon by the
government, has the Cabinet with it AS unit
in sentiment, and that sentiment adopts i'm
mediate action for the recent insults which
our flag has been made to suffer under, and
orders to obtain redress hwe been forwarded
to those who will too gladly see them car
ried into execution. One vastly important
feature, brought about by the receRt transac-
IONS in and about Cuba, rejecting upon our
Lt'onal reputation is, that whilst the gov
ernment will not encOur &c Gllibustering il
will not for the future, lind it incumbent up
on it to listen TO the various reports oil
schemes on foot for invasion.
