V-a Vessel of Naples and Rovers in the Mediterranean

Reports from the period describe a Naples vessel that had departed from Bilette joining a ship from Savona with eight allied craft, all well armed. Some galliots perished between Corsica and Sardinia, likely belonging to the rovers. Turks among the crew were captured on the Sardinian shore after fleeing the action. Consular letters claim many of his nation left the area and warn others to prepare to depart. The French consul demanded 100,000 pieces of eight, no thrice renegades, and free import of corn wax and other goods, else war. Other notices list ships, pilots, convoys, and court events, including convocation blessings, clergy appointments, and public notices on various goods and prices.
