Porto Vecchio Threatens French Capital as Corsican Turmoil Grows
The May 8 11 1736 Evening Port reports Porto Vecchio fortified by malecontents and ships of war arriving with mortars and cannon. Lord Theodore claims broad powers, names officials, and publishes an edict inviting Genoa loyalists to join the rebellion within twenty days or face death and confiscation. Public crime notes follow, including trials and sentences at the Old Bailey and Cambridge library theft cases.
