Item # 690466 ·
THE LONDON GAZETTE, England, July 13, 1710  The front page begins with a report from: "Algiers" which notes: "...the Dey of this Kingdom was shot in the Council House after he had reigned three years...The conspirators were only five Turks...the new government was in great confusion...the son-in-law remained with a small army in the field, but upon his march to force this place to his obedience, he was assassinated by his followers...He resolutely defended himself for some time & killed seven men on the pot; but at length was oppressed & slain by the multitude. He was a great lover of the British Nation...and as great an aversion to the French."
A single sheet issue, 6 3/4 by 11 3/4 inches, great condition.
