Genoa, June 6. On the 23rd of last month, the general
procession of the Ashes of St. John the Baptist was
performed here. . . [4 lines regarding the procession] The
other companies being informed of the design of the Sbirri,
their Christian zeal and charity flamed up to the highest
pitch, and they resolved to take vengeance on them, by
plunging their stillettos into their breasts, at a signal to
be given in the midst of their prayers and hymns, or else
seizing upon them all at once, and heaving them into the
sea. . . [12 more lines].
