He And All Jews Were Much Astonished At The Tenor Of Lord
Brougham's Act, And Got Not A Little Frightened; For All The Merchants
Of Mogador, Christians And Jews, More Or Less Aid And Abet The
Slave-Trade, All Having Connections With Slave-Dealers.
At length, our
Jewish Archbishop opined.
"Well, well, it is better now, since the
Christians have put down slavery in most of their countries, that we
Jews should follow their example."
It would be useful, and might subserve the cause of civilization, were
the Jews of Europe to take some means of enlightening their brethren of
North Africa on the question of slavery. The Israelites, who have
suffered so much from slavery and oppression, after becoming free
themselves, should endeavour to emancipate those who are still in the
chains of bondage.
The Hhaha levies were about to return to their country; the disposable
force of this province is about 70,000. The troops from Shedma were to
come in after the departure of those of Hhaha. Government were afraid to
bring both together, lest they should fight among themselves. Alluding
to the quarrel of their Sultan with the French, these hostile tribes
mutter to each other, "We must kill our own French first;" that is to
say their own "hereditary enemies."
I went out to see the two levies. These tribes had a singularly wild and
savage aspect, with only a blanket to cover them, which they wrap round
and round their bodies, having neither caps on their heads, nor shoes on
their feet.
