Abstract:
Approves of Nelson's "energy and spirit" in his actions regarding the Dey of Algiers and Captain Keats' execution of his orders. Agrees with Nelson's decision to wait to begin hostilities until he could strike against Algerian ships. Would like Nelson to try to negotiate with the Dey to avoid hostilities. Comments on Moorish women found in John Falcon's house being a provocation for the Dey's dismisal of Falcon. Nelson is to work with the Dey to get another Algerian consul appointed, if the Dey acknowledges the insult to the former consul and releases Maltese prisoners, ships, and cargoes. Sending a copy of the March 19, 1801, treaty with Algiers that discusses treatment of Maltese inhabitants. Signed by Horatio Nelson.
