Copy of a petition written by deputies of the pro-British faction from Malta and Gozo rejecting the idea that the islands be returned to the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem based on preliminary negotiations to be finalized at the Treaty of Amiens (1802 March 27) after the expulsion of the French from Malta in 1800. The Maltese rejected Napoleon Bonaparte's preference for the return of the islands to the Order of Saint John, as the Order was dominated by the three French langues, thus in their opinion, the island would in fact be handed back to France.
