FALSE REPORTS.
There was an exciting report that Mrs. Sem
otcr Cwip had been arrested here. Inquiry
.,srres us that neither she nor Mrs Slidell Is in
+bs CITY. Mrs. Gwin is at West Point, where
Il is presumed she is stin waving the magic
wond by which two cadets were estranged from
their allegiance two months since.
Mrs. Gwinn's truck, ordered to 60 on by ex-
press, was examined, and PlSns Of the fortitca-
tions at the Chain Bridge aud on the other side
of the Potomac, traced on paper by sOmc Clerk
IN the War Department, were found in it.
DIR. Manning was also arrested to-day Other
arrests will soon be made. Secessiondom is in
terror.
THE NEW RETIRING LAW.

improbable that broad hints will be given to
some old gentlemen, unless they move in the
matter speedily

TIE CAPTURE or PRIyATEERS.
fha Alxxy
nent inquiriDg whether bounty would be given for
the capture Of pvateert. IL s understood that other
parties would for similar consideration engage in the
came business bat the Depa tmep has such power.
Under the present law one-haf the value Of all prizes
Coes to tie Government and the remainder to the cap
;ors From what has ranspired it is highly probable
shat the Government would reinquish its share to
those who would successfully engage in such specna-
tons and while granting commissions for these pur-
poses afford whatever aid it could in the matter OF
armament
THE LFFECT OF TIE BULL RUN AFFAIR IN
EUROPE.
Minister Pike in hs dispatch from the Hague, refer
ring TO the Bull Run affair, says in bis judgment this
reverse will not especially prejudice our cause or lead
to adverse action il Europe. A pgblic sentiment has
gradually become developed this side Of the water
IN regard to our affairs, which lie inclined TO wait fair
trial Of the strength of the Government without preju
dicng its ability to its misfortune" "H,"
he remarks in conclusion, " il shall show 10 the
country that simply hudd ing masses of men together
does not make an army, and shall develop some kind
ofdeference for heudgment and wisdom Of experienced
men, and for those who have charge Of affairs, then the
disaster may prove TO be wholesome experience, and
aot an unmitigated calamity"
