Arthur did not accuse Percy of being a spy.  He was concerned that 
Percy got his promotion because Fudge wanted to USE Percy as a spy. I 
did not get the impression that Arthur felt Percy would knowingly spy 
on them.  
I have also been wondering what will happen if, as a lot of posters 
feel, Arthur is made the new Minister of Magic.  Since Percy was 
Fudge's assistant will Arthur keep him if there are no appologies or 
will he fire him or demote him?
I think I'm getting a Weasley headache.....
