French Squadron Allegedly Sails for Algiers in Protest
Nov 19 Genoa reports letters stating a French squadron departed Toulon for Algiers to demand redress from the Dey for injuries to French subjects and threaten immediate remedies. Skepticism arises as ship numbers and commander are unnamed, casting doubt on authenticity. Evidence of Wilkes duel and injuries fill other items, along with dispatches on Corsican negotiations and Jamaica sugar plans.
