14 Feb 1803 those with an interest in these things are not a little confused at Gibraltar, where it is understood that Malta will probably be handed over to the French in accordance with the Peace of Amiens, however the Abundance departed Gibraltar a few days ago with naval and military stores of all descriptions, which, as they note, is very strange if the British are to give up Malta to the French......i.e. it is looking less likely as each day goes by, but the noises coming out of France, from Napoleon &c., regarding Egypt would also appear to reduce the likelihood of Malta being handed over to the French!
