the power of the Rebels, and recommending his family
to the care of the Bishop and, after experiencing great
danger, arrived at Grantalles, with the loss of part of
his men. The Governor of Bergs, at near), tlit same
period, was obliged to retreat, and succeeded in gaining
Caldas, much reduced. At Nanresa a junta has been
organized. The number of refugees arrived at Barce-
lona are computed at 40.000. The French troops are
obliged continually to be on the alert, fearing a surprise.'
