PENITENTIARY HOUSE.

The House went into a Committee of Supply, and the Peni-
tentifirAct was referred to the Committee.

Mr. ROLF() RD, in a very elognent speech, stated the great
benefit which might accrue to society from the'erection of a
Penitentiary House, for the reception of those criminals not
wholly lost. It was proposed to build one which should con-
Main 600 persons,-300'of each sex; the estimate of the ex-
pence wa5'9.60,000/. but all that was proposed,to he done this
session was, to make a commencement, by building the outer
walls •and surronnding the prison site. To effect this object,
the sum now proposed to be granted was 30,0001. He there-
fore moved a resolution for granting that sum.
'Air. W. Smith, Mr. IL Sumner,. Mr. Wilberforce, Mr.
LOckbart,Mr. Bankes, all considerethe estimate: to be enor-
mous, but admitted the necessity of the measure.'
Mr. Long, Lord It. :-leyinour, and Lord Castlereagh, sup-
ported it, on t _e 4rounds that it would produce the most be-
neicial effects..

LONDON,

THUF.F.DAY, JULY 2, 1812.

A Waterford Chronicle reached town this morn-
ing, which contains' the following intelligence
from Portugal, on the authority of Capt. TRIVOT,
of the ship Trico, which had arrived from Viana.
On the, morning of her . departure, news from
Oporto and • Gazetter had arrived, which con-
tained accounts that Lord WELLINGTON had taken
Salamanca, with all the provisions and stores which
it contained. The' allied armies. were advancing
into.. Spain in two directions, the one northward,
and the/other southward, and Gallicia had been
'entirely cleared of the enemy. Captain TRIVOT
states that theintelligence was universally current
at Viana, that 'several merchants had received
Gazettes confirming it,—that he heard some of
them read,—that- he was congratulated on. tl4
news of which he would be the bearer to Bri-
tain,—and that Mr. NottrON, Consul at Viana,
assured him. that there could be no doubt of 'the
truth of the account.

GoverAment have this morning received ac-
counts of a successful attack made by a detach-
ment from the squadron under the command of
Sir HOME POPHAM, in conjunction with a Guerilla
party, under the Command of Don GAsrAR, upon
the town,and garrison of La Quctia,- near Cape
Machicaco. Three hundred cif the enemy were
taken prisoners, and a great number wounded.

, A debate of very considerable length took place
last night in the House of Lords, on the Motion
,of the Marquis WELLESLEY. • The LORD, CHAN-

the purpose of the prisoner's pleading.
