1801. July... August... September... Three months in which the British mount an opposed amphibious landing against French forces in Egypt... on Saint Domingue Toussaint Louverture promulgates a constitution for the colony before getting the greenlight from Bonaparte... and tensions between the French state and the Catholic church are resolved but not before the Pope's representative warns Napoleon against dismantling religion altogether.

This is episode 39 of the Napoleonic Quarterly- covering three months in which all eyes are looking ahead to looming negotiations and the question of who will win the coming peace.
