Paoli Orders Double Sword Markings for Genoese
Amidst news from the Brittany and Atlantic theaters Paoli enforces a provocative decree: Genoese in his territories must wear two words on each side of their swords, exposing the ridicule of Genoese mandate and sparking petitions to swap to a single side. Reports also note Spanish signals of 40 warships and an army of 70,000 aimed at Barbary states, with privateering, merchant convoys, and naval movements across Europe and the Atlantic adding to a tense balance of power.
