Note:The Consul was, according to Southey, 'the first person who procured certain intelligence of the enemy's designs against Malta, and from his own sagacity foresaw that Egypt must be their object.' The 'enemy' referred to was the fleet which left Toulon with Napoleon's army for Egypt, and which was finally destroyed in Aboukir Bay by Nelson. His son, John Robert Fullerton Udny, Colonel, Coldstream Guards, succeeded his uncle, in 1802, as heir of entail in the lands of Udny and Dudwick."
