Going to RESIGN.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald says, there is a crisis IN
The Cabinet. Seward who has so ably FILL
ed the Department of State is unsettled as
to what his future course shall be, and is
DESTROYS of being relieved from further
care OF his present position. The reasons
for Mr.. Stewards indisposition to remain
longer in Office are well known in political
circles here. he objects to radical policy,
partially forced upon the President by the
con6scation and militia act of the late Com
gress.
Mr.. Stewards idea from the start has
been to conduct this war in such manner
as to mako a reunion Of the States posi- !.
BILE, and therefore wished the government
to have record at the close of hostilities
such as no other nation ever had before at
the conclusion of war
In the conference with Lyons, which was
published In the Blue book of the English
Parliament, Seward informed his Lordship
that 1t was the intention of the President,
and his own intention, to show to the
world an exhibition Of maguanimity to the
persons involved in this rebellion, such as
the world has never seen.
This has been the key to the past action
of the Administration. ltfaYored no harsh
measurement aspy has been huug-not n
guerrilla executed, except at the instance
of sabordinates, who had no authority
from headquarters. The war has been con-.
Quoted in dispassionate spirit, aud with
desire to so end it that no future ill will.
could exist between the two sections of the
Union.
Mr.iSewarG is SO fully and SO thoroughly
committed to this view that he is not at all
satisfied that it is his duty to remain in
the Cabinet, now that a sterner policy has
been determined upon. The cry for a
change in the Cabinet has came up from
all parts of the country, and Mr.. Seward
makes this reason for asking the President
that he shall be one ofthose who shall re-
tire, SO that when the new policy is fairly
inaugurated it will not be embarrassed by
divisions on the part of the Presidents con-
stitutional advisers.
II a radical policy is tobe pursued, he
argues tits but fair that a radical Cabinet
shall have chance to put it in operation.
Hence there has been turmoil and trouble
in the Cabinet
Mr.. Lincoln is DESTROYS that Mr.. Stanton.
should Withdraw, but will not remove him,
as he believes that Mr.. Stanton is more
sinued against than SHINING. At the same
time Dir. Lincoln is exceedingly anxious to
retain Mr.. Seward in his present position.
Mr.. Seward will consent to remain in
his present position only upon condition.
that the recent acts of Congress shall be
SO Interpreted as to conform as far as pos
sible to the previous policy of the govern
ment, so that no general pillage or destruc-
ton of private property 10 the South shall
be permitted and that slaves shall not be
used except merely as laborers in the army.
If such modification is decided upon Mr.
Seward may remain in the Cabinet, but
not otherwise.
The New York Herald says We have
adyices from Washington that Mr.. Seward
on=the part ofthe American, and Mr.. Mer-
cier on the part of the French government,
have come to an agreement by which Ma
poleon will be permitted to collect debts,
and exact indemnity for claims from Mex
leo, on condition Of his not forming any al
lance with England to carry out policy
of intervention in the US.
In other words, if he will let our Govern.
ment work its will in Southern States, our
Government will let him do as he pleases
in Mexico, particularly as he would anticI-
pate Coutederates in his designs upon that
Republic and GUST them from its fertile soil
and immense resources. Union with Mexico
to compensate her for her territorial loss of
her Northern States is the ambitious pur-
pose of tue leaders of rebellion.
