This expedition, very honorable to the small Sardinian navy, is little known. In 1825 the Bey of Tripoli, arbitrarily interpreting a treaty provision, between the Regency and the Kingdom of Sardinia, issued bold claims that the Sardinian Government formally rejected: following which the Bey declared the war. The Sardinian government immediately dispatched a squadron to Tripoli two frigates, a corvette and a brig, the command of Admiral Sivori cons.
The squadron arrived at Tripoli on September 25. As we could not because of bad weather near the shore within reach of cannon, the Sardinian admiral decided to make an attack against the collision Tripolitanian vessels anchored in the harbor the night of 26 to 27 September 3 squadrons armed with spears managed to enter the port and, after an intense battle, they captured enemy ships and set them on fire, then retreating to the edge of the wing, the next morning, while the Sardis, having approached the shore, preparing to bombard the city, Bey suddenly chastened, asked for peace and gave every satisfaction which were requested.
(2) He commanded the frigate "The Geneys. In March 1849, when the order came that recalled the fleet in Genoa, the crew mutinied. Auvare of this occasion, showed great energy: he assembled his crew and managed to reduce it to obedience by threatening, if the insurgency continues, set fire to St. Barbe and to skip his frigate.
(3) considers that Count Cavour professed to Admiral Auvare evidenced by many letters published Mr. Chiala (L. Chiala; Lettere di Cavour) and including letters MCCLXXXIV, MCCXCVI and MCCC, all in the volume V.
(4) In one of his letters, Count Cavour called General Alexander of Auvare, "one of my most intimate and old friends."

(3) It is perhaps worth recalling here that both Auvare Cross does that were part of the Kingdom of Sardinia after the treaty of 1860, therefore, until that time, the Corporandi were French subjects.
