TIMES DISPATCH.

! WASHINGTON. August 25th.-Ye yesterday
| Mrs. Philips, wife of Philip Philips, wei
known counsellor of this city, was arrested
at her residence, charged with holding
| reasonable communication with the rebels
| 1t is said that when arrested, Mrs. Philips
attempted to swallow a portion of letter
| she was writing to a rebel. Mrs. Philip;
| prepared to illuminate her house in COM
memoration of the victory at Bulls Run,
| but was prevented from doing SO by her
more prudent rebel friends.
1t is understood that orders have been
sent for the arrest of Mrs. Gwinn, at West
Point, and that her arrest was probably eff
fected yesterday.
An officer who came from Banks column
yesterday, says the Maryland side is filed
with refugees from LopdOn county, Va,
who were keeping out of the way of the
rebels, now engaged in impressing the men
and plundering the country.
It is stated that Lieut.. Kromwell, of the
I'd cavalry, who YVES at Bulls Run with a
part of his regiment, has resigned his COM
mission, and accepted a captaincy in the
rebel cavalry of Missouri. He had the new
commission before the battle.
Authentic intelligence received from Ma
nassas states that Immediately after the bat
tie of Bulls Run, the rebel authorities made
extraordinary efforts to bring forward
troops, resulting in the transportation of a
large force from Tennessee and Virginia,
which had been held at home for defensive
operations on the Mississippi. The cotton
States had also provided large number
all that could be spared from homeland
Beauregard now has larger force than at
any previous time. However great the ne
aaccifu for him m dominance an ard
movement, to prevent his army from disso-
luton, yet no fears are expressed that he
will venture an attack on our lines.
Foreign mails by the last steamer were
received to-day, at the Department. Advi-
ces from our ministers were written under
the pressure of the Bulls Run disaster
European Governments appreciate the dis
aster at it's fullest extent, but there is a dis
position on the Continent to give the North
ern troops more credit for daring and endu-
rance than our own papers have claimed,
and their fighting, in front of heavy works
being considered by military men, is giving
them SO great advantage as to make it
matter of wonder that raw recruits could
have been induced TO assault them, under
such disad ltages. Our ministers do not
disguise the fact that our Government has
suffered severely in the estimation of Eu-
rope by the disaster, but they are confident
that no movement - recognize the rebels as
a nation will be made so long as the Gov
eminent maintains ia forces on the soil of
the rebel States. The feeling on the Con-
tinent we, generally, that the North
would be aroused, by the disaster to the 1T
most, and that the defeat closed the door to
any arrangement with the rebels.
The British Government officials appear to
be impressed with the belief that the battle
and defeat will prolong the contest without
deciding anything.
