On October 17, Napoleon and Cobenzl signed the Treaty of Campo Formio. The treaty resulted in territorial exchanges, with Austria ceding Belgium and the west bank of the Rhine to France, and France acquiring the Ionian Isles from Venice. Austria obtained territories in Italy and recognized the Ligurian and Cisalpine republics. The treaty also established a customs union between France and Austria.
Despite potential criticism of the treaty, Napoleon argued that a better deal could only be achieved through more war, which he deemed unlikely to succeed. The treaty was ratified by the Directory, and Napoleon sent representatives to Paris to promote its merits.
In conclusion, Napoleon's negotiations with Cobenzl were frustrating, and he expressed his dissatisfaction in his letters. However, he successfully concluded the Treaty of Campo Formio, bringing an end to the war with Austria.
After the signing of the Treaty of Campo Formio, Napoleon turned his attention to his next priority: defeating England.
