Mail from Holland reports Corsican officers' detention
Yesterday's mail from Bastia dated May 16 notes Governor and Marshal General Paolis receiving word that two officers from Nice, Count Antonio Colonna and Signor John-Baptist Sinibaldi, landed at Aleria and reported their detention in Holland. The Malecontents camp near the city faced a desperate dawn as promises of a general pardon sparked a siege and renewed firing, with villagers alarmed by threats to burn the burgh.
