" In my opinion General Abadia made his retreat
to Molina Seca in good order, though it took place
under disaJvautageous circumstances, in consequenCe
of having been commenced very late.

CAoLinnt, (Shabisqs), AUG. 8.---,—A j erson
worthy of credit, • who-has just arrived from Genoa,
gives the following'aCCoU4 ielative to the, person of
the Holy Father. His Holiness was still in Savona,
about the middle of -July ; his guards were nu-
merous, and admitted no person to. see him; his
Holiness came every day to a window, in order to ,
give, his benedidion to the people, who received it
with much respect. But when the above . person
was setting out for Sardinia,. eigh(daysliad elapsed'
since the windows, 01 his 'habitation, were opened.—,
The guard tot-named as usual ; but it was the fie.'
neral opinion that his Holiness had been removed to
another place, and that the butted had been rvtitined,
to excite 'no suspicion in the people, who were pe-
netrated' with the'inost profound vencr4tion.tor his
sacred person.
