ff On the 7th, I visited Madame Murad
Bey. I informed her that the First Consul had
entered into a treaty between them and the
Sublime Porte; but that the Pacha had orders
not to enter into the negotiation.
<r I passed that and the following day in vi-
siting the Citadel, Rodegiza Boulac, and all
the little forts in the neighbourhood. The
Turkish soldiers murmured at seeing me go
about in this manner examining the forts. I
pretended, however, not to understand them,
and pursued my course and my observations.
“ On the 7th, as I was returning from Fort
Dupuy, a soldier threatened me with his sword.
As he appeared somewhat intoxicated, I did
not regard his menaces, but passed on. A few
moments afterwards, Mustapha Oukil, one of
the chief men of the city, passed on horse-
back ; he reproached my attendants for accom-
panying a Christian, and more particularly a
Frenchman, and threatened them with the basti-
nado after my departure. I thought I ought
not to bear such an insult, but sent Citizen
Jaubert to the Pacha to complain of it, and de-
mand an immediate satisfaction. I declared
to him that I expected this man should wait
upon me publicly, ask my pardon, throw him-
self upon my mercy, and implore my pity.
It appeared that this Mustapha was in great fa-
vor with the Pacha, and they endeavoured to
arrange the matter in some other manner ; but
I insisted, and gave a formal declaration to the
Pacha, that if this satisfaction was not made in
