| Abstract: | On September the 4th, in the year 1800, the French Army which had been driven into Valletta by the population, and besieged for two years, surrendered through famine after a most valiant defence, being cut off from all hope of relief by the British blockading squadron on the watch outside. The Maltese thereupon placed themselves under British protection and the sovereignty of the Island changed hands. [Excerpt] |
