During the Napoleonic Wars, Great Britain had occupied, and finally annexed, the island of Malta in the Mediterranean. Malta carried on an important trade with Tripoli, on the north coast of Africa. Tripoli was the capital of one of the six Barbary States, of which the others were the Empire of Morocco, the Deylik of Oran, the Deylik of Algiers, the Beylik of Constantine and the Beylik of Tunis.

В результате этого путешествия было установлено, что р. Нигер не связана с озером Чад. На обратном пути (1824) вторично пересек Сахару. В 1825 дошёл до Сокото со стороны Гвинейского залива, от г. Лагос.
