The Washington correspondent of the Herald
gives the followin 8 account Of discussions in
the Cabinet. IL half what be states is true, the
administration can scarcely claim to be an
unit:
:" The difficulties in the Cabinet are hourly in
creasing. Marcy, yesterday morning-supposed
TO have been urged on by Guthrie, who had been
seen with him but an hour beforc-dcmanded an
interview with the President which ended, for the
moment, In the use Of discourteous words between
those two gentlemen. The facts are these The
resignation Of Soulc, which was received by the
President, was not made known but 10 few favor
ties Of the Cabinet and they alone consulted as 10
the person Of his successor. Marcy had heard Of
the resignation, but refrained from making ques-
tons, asking particulars In relation 10 the same
Tho first Official notice given 10 him came In the
request that instructions should be drawn ont for
his successor, contrary, In every respect 10 those
that had been furnished by Mr.. Marcy to Mr..
Soule. Mr.. Guthrie was present at the moment
when these requests were handed in. For an hour
or more Marcy was from his Office, and was under
stood 10 have been locked up with Guthrie, Camp
bell and Dobbn. Be this as IL may, It Is certain
that Marcy and Pierce had high words upon the
subject. Marcy asserts want Of confidence, and
intention TO resign.
"The assertion is not allowed by the President,
and the paper containing the resignation-for such
II is--was demanded Marcy received Il and left.
Its contents are no longer secret Mr.. Soule opens
by accusing the President Of want Of sincerity
towards him. that Il was through his confidential
instructions, the Ostend convention was held; that
he had urged an independent and unyielding course
for him to follow in his negotiations with Spain !;
and that several distinguished Senators approved
his course; and among the names given arc those
OF Douglas Weller, and the Hon. John SlideIl.
Marcy Is pronounced, in language not to be men,
toned here, as having purposely worked for the
ruin OF American reputation abroad. All these
charges, and many others OF an equal bearing. are
to be found in his letter Of resignation, 30 that
should Il find its way before the public, the word
resigned win be accompanied with definite
reasons for the act

city, personal friend Of Mr. Soules, IL said 10 have
in his possession the undoubted evidence, showing
that Mr. Soule could have possessed himself OF a
fortune, did the Spanish government dare TO APP
prosch him with bribe. Further, that, on his
arrival in the United States, he purposes 1t once
to make public the whole of his official transactions
abroad. ! can now most positively state TO you
that joint dispatches are at this moment In the
Department of State, from Ministers Mason and
Buchanan, warmly eulogizing the career Of their
colleague, Mr. Soule. Mr.. Pierce's private letters
are to appear, and Mr.. Msrcys official instructions
win accompany them, with comments, on the re-
turn Of Mr. Soule.
1.-THE accompanying extract from aprivate letter
sent by Mr. Pierce to Mr. Soule, before the atter's
departure upon his mission, win enable you TO form
something like an opinion on the character Of Mr..
Soule's instructions for Spain:
al am gratiHed 10 hear Of your favorable recep-
ton in New York. The effect Of IL on our ques-
tons with Spain cannot but prove beneficial. That
Power must be made to understand the true char
