French expedition to Sardinia
- When
- February 1793
- Where
- Cagliari, Sardinia
A French fleet under Truguet moved to bombard Cagliari, but a mutiny among disembarking troops forced him to reembark the men.
Truguet and his fleet participated in the French expedition to Sardinia in 1793. He was moving to bombard Cagliari when mutiny broke out among the French troops as they disembarked, obliging him to sail to the beaches and reembark them. Bonaparte also took part in the failed French expedition to Sardinia; the sources do not pin down the mutiny's timing within February 1793.
