Rare Portuguese account of one of several unsuccessful eighteenth-century attempts by Muslim forces to recapture Oran. This operation took place in March of 1754, more than two decades after the Spanish conquest of the city in 1732. Oran was repeatedly attacked by Algerian and Ottoman forces, but remained under Spanish rule until 1792.

Uncut and untrimmed.
