The statements received here as to the

licvel that Meade has Lees communication

tonight north of the Rappahannock.
Direct communication between The Ar
my of the Potomac and Washington has
been established, while little hope, accord
ing to the statements of deserters, arc
entertained by the rebels of being able to
reach Richmond in safety. Their whole
flank is seriously annoyed by our cavalry.
