The <entity_2> was a French attempt to force the surrender of the <entity_1> fortress town of <entity_3> (now <entity_3>) on the island of <entity_7> following the French occupation of mainland Tuscany in 1801 during the <entity_0>. The French began the <entity_6> with 1,500 men in <entity_4>, later reinforced to more than 5,000, but could not make an impression on the fortress's defences, instead seeking to starve the defenders into submission with the support of a squadron of French Navy frigates operating off the coast. Despite a number of naval actions and one significant land engagement, the <entity_6> dragged on inconclusively for the summer and early autumn of 1801, and when the first articles of the Treaty of Amiens were signed in October, the town was still under <entity_1> control, although the provisions of the final agreement, signed in March 1802, granted the island to France. On 28 March 1801, the Treaty of Florence was signed between Naples and France, officially turning the entirety of <entity_7> over to French control, although it had not yet been surrendered by its Neapolitan and <entity_1> commanders. Soon, all that remained in <entity_1> hands was the fortress port town of <entity_3> on the northern coast. At the same time, a small British force under Captain Gordon landed at <entity_3> to augment the <entity_1> garrison. Although Warren departed the region soon afterwards with most of his squadron, Watrin was still unable to make an impression on the walls of <entity_3>, and Airey held the town against the French for the last few weeks of the war until news arrived of the ceasefire that accompanied the provisional signing of the Treaty of Amiens on <entity_5>.
