Nelson told him that if he permitted the many hundred French who were then in the mole to remain neutral till they had a fair opportunity of being active, they had one sure resource if all other schemes failed, which was to set one vessel on fire ; the mole would be destroyed, probably the town also, and the port ruined ...for twenty years. This representation made Naselli agree to the half-measure of laying an embargo on the vessels ; among them were a great number of French privateers, some of which were of such force as to threaten the greatest mischief to our commerce, and about seventy sail of vessels belonging to the Ligurian Republic, as Genoa was now called, laden with corn and ready to sail for Genoa and France, where their arrival would have expedited the entrance of more French troops into Italy.
