Perplexing Revolution Frays Consular Relations and Power
The account details a late April coup in Tunis where Lydy Jones Bey seized the city and fortress, forcing the Divan to acknowledge his rule. He bribed soldiers, sought gunpowder from Holland and Leghorn, and endured a fifty five day siege before marching toward Algiers with Turkish troops. The old Bey responded by sending his son and troops to Tunis, plundering posts and causing unrest among Turks Capuchins and Jews. The Danish Consul’s house avoided mob violence, then was ordered restored.
