LATEST OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. MADRID, Jan. 20.  The latest official intelligence concerning the movements of the insurgents and the Royal troops is as follows :  " Major Camino to the Minister of War. " Madrigalejo, Jan. 15.  " To-day I succeeded by a forced march in coming up with the enemy in the plains of Logrosan. With my small force I could do no more than order the commander of the 3d squadron of the Civil Guard to advance with eight men protected by the rest of the force under my orders. We then charged the rear guard of the enemy with shouts of " Viva la Reina ! " and succeeded in capturing a sergeant and  seven soldiers of the Calatrava Regiment. I continued to pursue the insurgents, who changed their course, and marched towards Villanueva de la Serena, fearing to encounter the royal troops from Montanches and other points in the province of Caceres."  " The Lieutenant-General of Extremadura, to the Minister of War.  " Badajoz, Jan. 9, 4 p.m. " The insurgents bivouacked last night at Campello. Brigadier Salcedo is marching towards Usagre, on the right of Campello, and General Zavala towards Llerena. ,The insurgents have abandoned nine horses in their flight, and, according to the statement of the Alcaldes are in a very distressed condition, more than a third part of their horses being led by hand."  "The Delegate of the Province of Badajoz to the Minister of War.  Monasterio, Jan. 19, 12.43 a.m. " A despatch just received informs me that some of the insurgent troopers have arrived at Bienvenida. It is supposed that they will pass the night at that place, and set out to-morrow for Puente de Cantos, marching thence to Tregenel, and subsequently entering Portugal at the village of Barrancos." The armed band of peasants from Tarragona, under Escoda, is still in the field iu the district of Priorato.  The suicide of Admiral Pareja on board his flagship, the Villa de Madrid, is now officially confirmed. The following account of the circumstances is given by the Eco del Pais:" It appears that the commander of our squadron was expecting the Covadonga, as she was to bring him despatches, and the delay in her arrival caused him some uneasiness. The United States Consul, paying a visit to the flagship, informed him of the current rumour that the Covadonga had been captured by the Chilian corvette Esmeralda. Admiral Pareja asked if the news was official, to which the consul replied negatively. On the following day the consul visited the flagship, and showed the Admiral the Chilian papers, not only giving the news but all the details of the engagement as it took place. Admiral Pareja continued in conversation with the consul, without anything betraying in his words or aspect the fatal resolution which he had taken. Immediately upon being left alone he entered his cabin, and shot himself in the right temple with a revolver, causing instant death. The Admiral had fastened on the wainscoting of the cabin a paper containing the following lines :—" I entreat that my body may not be cast into Chilian waters." The last wishes of Admiral Pareja were religiously respected, and his body was not consigned to the waters of Chili."
