II is known to the whole
world, that the reigning Balhaw
OF TriPoli, JUssUF, obtained the
throne by murder of our father
and elder brother, and by nv
exile, who came next in fuccef-
flon. Driven by his impious and
cruel ulurpation, took refuge
in Egypt, where | was kindly
received by the Mameluke Beys,
who gave me a diltinguilhed
rank in the military leryice.-
| kePofing in the fecurityof peace,
| had ceafed to repine for the
lois Of my throne, and regretted
only the lot of my unhappy fub-
Je6tS, doomed to the yoke of my
cruel and tyrannical brother.
1t was at this epoch, that the
arrival of General Eaton gave
me hopes of better fortune but
though | could not tell what
were his powers, | trulted to the
faith Of great people, Of whom
he was the oltenGbie reDre(ent-
ative, and threw myfeif into his
arms. We concluded a treaty
at Alexandria, copy of which
IS among the papers of Commo-
dore Barron in the cuilody of
his iecretary, Mr.. DenniGon.-
I This treaty not only ftipulates
the recovery Of the throne for
me, but alfo includes ieveral ad-
vantageouS articles for the Uni
ted States, for which General
Eaton will be my voucher
Ought then TO fuppoie that the
engagements of an American a.
gent wsuld be difputed by bis
conitituent government ? | can
not juPpofe that gentleman
has pledged towards me the hon
or OF his country on purpole to
deceive me.


/ General Eaton and myfelf,
with our joint followers, had al
ready advanced Goo miles into
the kingdom of Tripoli ; and a
, general detection had leized nv
brothers army, and all things
prepared the protected Of Amer
lea 70 be hailed iovereign of his
ulurPed throne. AT this June
ture peace is concluded, in which
a throne acquired by rapine and
murder, is guaranteed to its uf-
urper, and !, the rightful fover-
eign, the friend and ally of A
melica, am left unprovided for.
No article in my favor, no pro-
vifon for me and my family,
and no remuneration for the ad-
yantages l had foregone in truf-


ing TO American honor. am
lett in Syracuie with thirty de-
pencents, on the pittance Of two
hundred dollars per month, and
no profpt6 of future eGablilh-
ment. What with the expen-
ces Of my retinue, &c. &c. |,
iovcreign prince, am now redu-
ced 10 the Penfon Of $50 cents
per day.
Imuit here obGerve, that Mr..
Eaton, Whole generoGty | can
notiuthcientIy praile, has afifted
me from his own finances, elGr
hard indeed had been my lot.
