They shipped these under the charge of a supercargo.

Theodore returned with this supercargo to Corsica, and put him to death on his arrival, as the shortest way of settling the account.

The remainder of his life was a series of deserved afflictions.

He threw in the stores which he had thus fraudulently obtained; but he did not dare to land, for Genoa had now called in the French to their assistance, and a price had been set upon his head.
His dreams of royalty were now at an end; he took refuge in London, contracted debts, and was thrown into the King's Bench.

After lingering there many years, he was released under an act of insolvency, in consequence of which he made over the kingdom of Corsica for the use of his creditors, and died shortly after his deliverance.
The French, who have never acted a generous part in the history of the world, readily entered into the views of the Genoese, which accorded with their own policy: for such was their ascendancy at Genoa, that in subduing Corsica for these allies, they were in fact subduing it for themselves.
