PEACE COMMERCE & PLENTY. The preliminaries of peace between Britain and France were signed in London on the 1st October 1801. By this treaty, Britain agreed to restore to France and her allies Spain and Holland all her maritime conquests except Trinidad and Ceylon, which Britain was to retain permanently. The Cape, Demerara, Berbice, Essequibo and Surinam were to go to the Dutch, Martinique and Guadeloupe to the French, Minorca to the Spaniards and Malta to the Order of St John of Jerusalem, under the guarantee of one of the Great Powers. Porto Ferraio was abandoned and with the rest of the island of Elba, became French property in 1802. In return for this the French were to evacuate Naples. The armies of both nations were withdrawn from Egypt which was restored to Turkey. The integrity of Portugal was guaranteed and the independence of the loman Islands was recognized.
