" The enemy has made no movement in front of this army, nor in the north ; some of their battalions and squadrons have passed the river Tormes, and joined in South Munoz, but I imagine their only ob ject is plunder." EXTRACT OF AN OFFICIAL DISPATCH FROM MARMAL•OE NERAL LORD WELLINGTON, DATED HEAD QUARTERS FRENADA, THE 25T11 DECEMBER, TO DON M. I'EREIRA I , OItJA It. The 6th division of the army, called the Army of Portugal, marched from Placentia on the 21st instant, and crossing the river Tietar, marched in the direc tion of Navalmoral. Nothing of importance has occurred in the north of Spain. The enemy remained from the end of last month to the 12th of the present in St. Roque, when they retired for Los Birrios. General Ballasteros, the following day, advanced to St. Roque, and Co lonel Skerrett still remains in Tariffa. Major-Gene ral Cooke informs me that . the enemy had made two attempts to penetrate the pass of Dc la Pina, in both ,of which they failed. I have received no particulars relative to these successes. JANUARY 4.—• The day before yesterday arrived in the Tagus, fifteen more transports, all with cavalry. We have received intelligence from Buenos Ayres and Monte Video to the 28th of September, by it we know that the blockade of Buenos Ayres had been raised at the intercession of Admiral De Ccurcy —the negotiations between the Viceroy Elio and the 1 Junta of Buenos Ayres continued, and there were hopes they would terminate amicablt.

We are assured that the forces which advanced against Pot-li,r were, on the 29th ult. completely routed, but we have not yet received the oflici.l ac counts. It is likewise said that Mendiz.tbal and Longa had gone towards Bilboa, and made many prisoners. VALENTIA Dt ALCAN TARA, INEC. 24. We are assured that Marmont has made a move ment, and it is said, divided his forces, one part having marched to reinforce Suchet, and the other towards Castile ; it appears therefore indubitable, that the sanguinary destroyer of Tarragona.is afraid alone to finish the conquest of Valencia ; in this case how use ful will be the active operations of all our armies, to paralize operations whose aspect and slowness indi cate great want of strength. The intelligence by vie last courier states, that up to the Ist instant nothing particular had occurred in Valencia ; that the enemy were carrying on their operations against Tariffa, under Victor, and that the most flattering hopes respecting Buenos Ayres are conceived, where a negociation has been entered into for re-establishing tranquillity. SALAMANCA, DECEMBER 18. A person who left Bayonne on the 21 instant, de clares be witnessed the entry into that city of 1.5,(X:0 men, procecJing for Spain, from the camp at Bou logne, who afterwards received orders to retrocede, which they did. He adds, that they were to be suc ceeded by 9000 more. General Lacey has obtained advantages in Cata lonia. That army becomes every day more f,rmi dable; the enemy's small garrisons, which have not been made prisoners, find themselves obliged to aake refuge in the fortresses. We are assured that the brave Mina has taken, in Salenas de Lenez, same horses, intended to remount the corps d'armee which Marmont commands. It is likewise said, that the El Empecinado and Duran have lately obtained considerable advantages in Arragon. It is reported. that Ney is coming to replace Dor senne. The French say nothing relative to the suc cesses against Valencia. [PR leE SIXPEtieasHALPPENNAI PARLIAMENTAAr Pliocp.gDmvs. • • MOUS! OF LORDS, JANUARY 21.

NEWPORT wished to k ow, if, agre:at•ly to a hint he had given last Session, a Right Honourable Gentiontan opposite (Mr. Rose) intended to take any steps to ascertain the Popula tion of Ireland? Me. ROSE mod, that for various reasons Lo had been indu ced to desist ; but If any Gentleman was inclined to take up the subject he should give him every assistance in his power. PENITENTIARY 11OUSEP. Mr. HOLFORD stated, that he rose to move for leave to bring in a B;11 for the erection of Peniten tiary Houses. The object of the Bill was to afford a reasonable expectation that criminals,. after the term of their punishment had expired, might no longer return to their former habits of pr fl gacy, but might adoi t those of useful industry. The statute of the 19th of the King had, from various causes, never been carried into effect, though .highly approved of by Sir W. Blackstone and by Mr. How trd. By , that Act three persons had been appointed to fix upon a proper place, and they were to refer this to the con sideration of fourteen persons, the Lord Chancellor, the Speaker of the House of Commons, and the twelve Judges. Mr. Howard differed from the others, and resigned the office in 1781. Three others were then appointed, among whom was Lord Minto ; but ' the Government of that day having adopted the plan of sbnding convicts to Botany Bay, withheld their support. The plan, however, was resumed in 1794, and a Gentleman undertook for the mtintenence of 10 )0 convicts. By a new Stature all the privileges of the former were superseded. This v:as the 34th of toe King, by which a Guva - aor was to he appointed, with considerable powers. The Act of the 19th of the King, though Int ntioned as still ex'stirg, had expired in 1802. This Act had placed the appointment of -the proper Officers in a Commiree ; the Act of the 31th gave all the power to the Crown. In the Re port upon the table, the Committee had preferred the Act of the 19th, which contained a provision for shortening the petiod cf Confinement. in proportion to the good,conduct of the prisoners, and that none should be allowed to remain in confinement except the idle and worthless. The i..teaded site was changed for Tuthill-fields, but a difficulty had occur. red in mak'ng up the number of seventy-nine acres, which was the extent regtfred. Of the prac ticability of reforming prisoners there could be no doubt. Twenty years had elapsed since Peniten tiary Houses had been erected upon the present prin. •ciple, and Sir George Paul said that many prisoners had been reformed. This had been the case at Not tingham, and also at Smthwell, awhere many pri soners who had been confined in those houses had afterwards become useful members of society. He wished to form a separate Penitentiary House for Lein ;on and the county of Middlesex. His plan did not go to condemn confinement in the hulks, and trans portation, i* certain cases; hut in many cases, a pe nitenti.ry house eras preferable either to transporta tion or the hulks. The house he proposed to be erected was to contain 200 male, and the same number of fe male convicts, and might be converted altogether into a penitentiary Loose for males. He meant to throw no blame upon the keeper of Newgate prison, the evil arose from the cyst m itself. 1-le trusted the City would do every thing in their power to prevent the morals of the prisoners from being corri.pted, and to I have their wants supplied. Prisoners n t tried nor condemned, should not be obliged to associate with - convicts. This, in the case of a femaie, would be peculiarly hard. How would she feel to be compel. fed to associate with female convicts? Into what te.
