Nelson arrived with his fleet on 24 June 1799, initially refusing to recognise the capitulation except as concerned the French, before authorising the Republicans' embarcation.

While vessels were being prepared for the voyage to Toulon, all the hostages in the castles were liberated save four. On 24 June 1799, Nelson arrived with his fleet and, on hearing of the capitulation, refused to recognise it except insofar as it concerned the French. On 26 June 1799 he changed his attitude, authorising Sir William Hamilton to inform the cardinal that he would do nothing to break the armistice, while Captains Bell and Troubridge wrote that they had his authority to state he would not oppose the embarcation of the Republicans.
