Sinopsis

Excerpt from Memoirs of General Pépé, Vol. 1 of 3: Comprising the Principal Military and Political Events of Modern Italy

At the period of which I write, the Neapolitan navy was utterly unable either to protect' the commercial interests of the country or to defend its coasts. The Prince Caramanico, then in great credit with the Court, and especially with the Queen, proposed a means of ameliorating its condition, which was immediately carried into effect. A request was made to the Grand Duke Leopold, to permit John Acton, an officer then commanding the Tuscan fleet, to reorganize the Neapolitan navy.
