Notes

  1. [N 1]
    At this time, the British and Ottomans were co-belligents; no formal alliance would be concluded until December 1798. The Battle of the Nile may be considered part of both the Mediterranean campaign of 1798 and the French campaign in Egypt and Syria.
  2. [N 2]
    Russia and the Ottoman Empire concluded an alliance in December 1798.
  3. [N 3]
    Although a formal alliance between Austria and Naples had been concluded on 19 May 1798, and Austrian general Karl Mack von Leiberich commanded the Neapolitan troops, there were no Austrian troops and formally no Austrian involvement in this campaign. France did declare war on Naples on 6 December 1798, but would not declare war on Austria until 12 March 1799.[2]
  4. [N 4]
    Following the refusal to enter in alliance against the Two Sicilies, France declared war on both Naples and Piedmont-Sardinia the same day, 6 December 1798. The Piedmontese Republic was proclaimed on 10 December 1798. The Sardinian king Charles Emmanuel IV fled to Cagliari.
  5. [N 5]
    The following day, the Convention of Alessandria was signed: a truce between France and Austria that would last from 15 June until 22 November 1800.
  6. [N 6]
    At this time, the British and Ottomans were still allies fighting against France (since December 1798), even though most other members of the Second Coalition had already signed separate peace treaties. The alliance would be suspended by the Franco–Ottoman truce of Paris (9 October 1801), come to an end by the Anglo-French Treaty of Amiens (25 March 1802), and the war would be formally concluded by the Franco–Ottoman Treaty of Paris (25 June 1802).
