This original newspaper contains an inside page headline: "DEFINITIVE TREATY" with a complete printing (in 4 columns of text) of the TREATY OF AMIENS, ending the War of the Second Coalition (the 2nd Napoleonic War). The Napoleonic Wars were a series of wars between Napoleonic France and shifting alliances of other European powers that produced a brief French hegemony over most of Europe. Along with the French Revolutionary wars, the Napoleonic Wars constitute a 23-year period of recurrent conflict that concluded only with the Battle of Waterloo and Napoleon’s second abdication on June 22, 1815.The War of the Second Coalition (1798/9 – 1801/2, depending on periodisation) was the second war on revolutionary France by most of the European monarchies, led by Britain, Austria and Russia, and including the Ottoman Empire, Portugal, Naples and various German monarchies, though Prussia did not join this coalition, and Spain supported France.The overall goal of Britain and Russia was to contain the expansion of the French Republic and to restore the monarchy in France, whereas Austria, which was still weakened and in deep financial debt from the War of the First Coalition, primarily sought to recover its position and come out of the war stronger than it entered. Due in important part to this difference in strategy amongst the three major allied powers, the Second Coalition failed to overthrow the revolutionary regime, and French territorial gains since 1793 were confirmed. In the Franco–Austrian Treaty of Lunéville in February 1801, France held all of its previous gains and obtained new lands in Tuscany, Italy, while Austria was granted Venetia and the Dalmatian coast. Most other allies would also sign separate peace treaties with the French Republic in 1801. Britain and France signed the Treaty of Amiens in March 1802, followed by the Ottomans in June 1802, bringing an interval of peace in Europe that lasted several months until Britain declared war on France again in May 1803. The renewed hostilities would culminate in the War of the Third Coalition.The Treaty of Amiens, (March 27, 1802), was an agreement signed at Amiens, France by Britain, France, Spain, and the Batavian Republic (the Netherlands), achieving a peace in Europe for 14 months during the Napoleonic Wars.The British government had opened negotiations with France on February 21, 1801. William Pitt, whose place as prime minister had been taken by Henry Addington, approved of this overture not so much because of the collapse of Austria as because of the danger presented by the League of Armed Neutrality. The preliminaries having been concluded on October 1, 1801, the Treaty of Amiens was signed on March 27, 1802. Notwithstanding their reverses overseas, the French recovered all their colonies. The British kept Ceylon (now Sri Lanka, taken from the Dutch) and Trinidad (taken from the Spaniards) but restored Minorca to Spain and Cochin (now Kochi), the Cape of Good Hope, and the Spice Islands (Moluccas) to Holland. France agreed to the evacuation of Naples and the Papal States and to the return of Egypt to Turkey. The British undertook to leave Malta within three months. The island was to be handed back to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, with its neutrality guaranteed by the powers. It was agreed that “an adequate compensation” should be found in Germany for the prince of Orange, William V, who had lost his position in the Netherlands. Though Bonaparte had already ignored his undertaking in the Treaty of Lunéville to observe the independence of the neighbouring republics, the Treaty of Amiens made no reference to nonintervention in their affairs. When later the British government complained that French troops remained in Holland and northern Italy in violation of the Treaty of Lunéville, Bonaparte replied that this was the business of the signatories to that treaty and that he desired “the Treaty of Amiens and nothing but that.” France had asked for British recognition of the Italian republics, but in the absence of compensation for the king of Sardinia this was withheld.
