Europeans report Corsair encounters and embassy moves abroad
The Daily Post notes envoy Ignior Sardini returning home after negotiations, plus reports of French and Algerine corsairs near Sardinia and Crete. It covers ships from Salonica, Toulon, and Leghorn, and mentions French aims at Barbary ports with plans to bring back Bonac and other court officials. Also cited are telegrams about European rulers in Saxony, Portugal, and Cologne, and late May mail from Stockholm, Dantzick, and Bristol with multiple arrivals and naval movements.
