Siege of Cagliary and Sardinia in late 1700s report
A detailed dispatch describes the surrender of Cagliary after a month of bombardment. Spanish forces, led by Marquis de Rubi and Infant de Lede, intensified attacks while garrison officers negotiated capitulation terms with soldiers marching out unarmed and officers armed. Deportations, reinforcements, and coastal raids by Spanish gallies and corsairs are reported, with further moves toward Alguero and Naples and continued Mediterranean activity.
