Stuart, marching south, had  reached Reggio on July 23.

Before returning to Sicily, he and Smith mop up all of Reynier's garrisons in southern Calabria.

The fortress of Scilla and two hundred and eighty-one soldiers of the 23rd Light Infantry had surrendered on July 24, to Oswald, who had one battalion each of the 10th Foot, 21st Foot, and Chasseurs Britanniques.

The 3rd battalion of the Polish-Italian Legion, five hundred strong, surrenders to Captain Hoste in the Amphion and the 78th Foot at Crotone on July 28.

Stuart will receive the Order of the Bath and an annuity of one thousand pounds a year from the British government, and the title Count of Maida from King Ferdinand, for the victory.

The political situation in southern Italy will remain unchanged until 1815, with the British and Sicilian troops guarding the Bourbon King Ferdinand in Sicily and the Napoleonic King of Naples controlling the mainland.

The British will fail to use their naval superiority around Italy and will do little to harass the French on the mainland.

Joachim Murat will become the King of Naples in 1808 after Joseph Bonaparte is sent to govern Spain.

Murat will make various attempts to cross the Strait of Sicily, which all end in failure, despite once managing to secure a foothold in Sicily.

King Ferdinand will be finally restored to the Neapolitan throne only when Austria defeats Murat in the Neapolitan War in 1815.
