Signing of Preliminary Peace
- When
- 1 October 1801 (legacy record: 30 September 1801)
- Where
- London
Preliminaries for peace between France and Britain were signed in London, reported as 1 October 1801, following negotiations between Otto and Hawkesbury.
Otto, under detailed instructions from Bonaparte, negotiated with Hawkesbury in mid-1801. The Treaty of Amiens source reports that preliminaries were signed in London on 1 October 1801, setting the stage for the definitive Treaty of Amiens. The legacy record instead dates the signing to 30 September 1801, and the two dates remain unreconciled; London is identified as the locality of the signing rather than an exact site.
