 Correspondence of the Courer)

 WAsHIEGTON, Sept. l2.

 The session is, at length, about to terminate, as was apprehended, in the breaking up of the Cabinet and the entire separation of the President from the Mhig party.

 Five members of the Cabinet resigned, yesterday, and their resignations were accepted, viz: Messrs. EWING, BELL, BADGER, CRITTENDEE, and GRANGER The four first acted in concert, and no- iifed the President on Friday night, that he would have their reslgnations the next day Mr. Granger came to the same determination after consulting with his friends in Congress from New York, and they were all of the opinion that he could not remain with propriety. Between F and o'clock, the first four above naled sent in their reslgnatIOns, accompanied with separate statements of the reasons for their course. At half past 3 Mir. Granger sent m siml- lar communication.

 Al two o'clock, immediately upon the receipt oi the first four resignaiitns, the Presi' sent mes sage to the Senate, with the following nominations viz: WALTER FORWARD, of Penn. (now lst comp Iroler, to be Secretary of the Treasury; JOHN Me LEAN, of Ohio, (now Justice of the U. $. Supreme Court,) to be Secretary of War; Judge ABEL P. UPsHUR, of Virginia. Secretary of the Navy; HUGH s. LEGARE, of $. C. Attorney General.

 The promplness w,th which the President acted shews that he aniciI aed the event. He will, on Monday, il is said, nominate some one-probaby Mir. C. WIcKLIFFE, of Kentucky-as Post Master General

 Mir. WEBSTER has not resigned, and will not at present. He shews disposition. it is said, to act with the CLAY party, in this crisis, nor with the TYLER party either. The President, according to the general runor has solicited him to remain but whether he will not is uncertain As regards our foreign relations, the views of the President coincide with his But l am confident MT. w. will not re- main month longer.

 There are many reasons that led to this result, but the proxmate source, it is said Vas the transmits sion of the second veto to congress by the President, not only without any consultation upon il with the cabinet, but without advising them of his pur- pose. Not one of the cabinet knew any thing of the veto message, until il hawked about the streets. The first information that Mr. Badger got of the ye- to il is said from boy in the street, offering to sell him a copy. But, while the cabinet was thus kept in the dark, the whole substance and even the words of the message were communicated to others and published abroad. Of course the cabinet con sidered this evidence that the President dstrusted them, and would be glad to be rid of them.

 The joint resolution, fixing Monday, at l o'clock for the adjournment of congress, was agreed to by the senate, with amendment striking out the hour So the senate will sit all day executive session.

 The house was employed the whole day in discus. sing the report of the committee the affray, and finally recommtted it. Nothing will be done in the matter,
