You do not say which distribution you want them to have but for 
normal the best choice seems to be to load MASS and use rmvtnorm.

Generating multivariate datasets from distributions
other than the normal
can be more challenging.
In \R contributed packages provide the following among others:
\begin{description}
\item[\pkg{corcount}]
Poisson, negative binomial, zero--inflated versions
\item[\pkg{binarySimCLF}]
Generates binary variables, see \citet{qaqish03}
for details
\item[\pkg{bindat}]
Generates binary by thresholding normal
\item[\pkg{mvtBinaryEP}]
Binary
\item[\pkg{sn}]
Skew normal and skew $t$
\end{description}

Apologies for all the LaTeX but I fear if I try to edit it I will 
delete something crucial.
