The Admiral was even referred to as an "errand boy". Hm, I still think that that's kind of an assumption, even if fairly reasonable. They could've been part of a group of French Templars who just seized it from the Assassins, packaged it in a parcel from their camp or temporary base, then were sending it to Saint-Dominigue.
