POD: 1830
Somewhat cooler heads prevail in the court of Charles X after the whole Fly Whisk affair happned, and instead of a full bore invasion and occupation of Algiers the French forces simply smacked around the Dey's military and fleet until word of the July Revolution came. While the victory was popular there were not enough troops to occupy the place even with Hussein Dey's authority limited to Algiers itself, so instead the government of Louis-Philippe presented the Algerians with a slightly punitive peace treaty (Extraterritoriality of merchants, personal responcibility for any privateers in the area, members of the dey's household as "guests" of the French Court, Catholic churches in the main ports, that sort of thing). To thier credit, the Kingdom of the French also lumped in a payment plan for the unpaid debt that started the whole mess.
When the revolution of 1848 rolled around there were a few ex-pirates who hoped to start attacks on the Second Republic's shipping (on the basis that thier agreement was with the French king), but the Vizir Abdelkader instead consulted with Prince *Farouk (who had spend much of his formative years in France) on presenting the government of Louis Napoleon with a new treaty. The primary change beyond tone was one of mutuality (Algerian merchants had the same perks in France as French ones had in Algeria, construction of Mosques in Marseille authorized, etc) and as everyone in Paris had other things to worry about it was approved with no argument beyond reducing everyone's extraterritorial status.
(of course had the people in Paris known about the treaty being hammered out between London and the ministers of the man who had begun styling himself the Grand Duke of Algiers they may have put up more of a fuss)
Now what?
