French and Turkish navies in the Mediterranean according to the Nederlandsche Staatscourant dated 21 September 1837

The tidings that the Turkish troops commanded by the Kapudan pasha after setting troops on land at Tripoli returned to Constantinople are confirmed. The threat for a collision between the Turkish and the French navies off Tunis has for the moment completely disappeared. Probably caused the appearance of so many French warships off Tunis a deep impression at Turkish side.
