Rebels at Tripoli Attack Mosques and Ports in Ramadan Uprising
Reports from Tripoli dated August describe a coordinated rebellion led by the Rais and Vice Admiral Albanesi with about 400 countrymen to kill senior officials including the Prime Minister and Captain of the Port. The attack began in a coffee house and involved assaults on the town guard and Levant Turks. The Bashaw’s forces repelled much of the effort, with significant casualties among the rebels who fled by sea after seizing a few vessels. The dispatch notes renewed hostilities toward France and concerns over supply lines in Malta and Durazzo, while other notes cover silk manufactories in Mesfina and political moves in Bologna and Naples.
