Toulon

Bonaparte with an immense armament sailed from Toulon for the conquest of Egypt.

Toulon, which had been seized by the French royalists, surrendered to the conventional troops.

However, he was executed at the bagne of Toulon four years later .

Toulon was threatened by the republicans both on the east and west, while on the north Lyons was closely besieged.

Off Toulon, even had Hotham been beaten, his opponents would have been too roughly handled to carry out their mission.
