War was prevented. When it was Tuesday, the eighteenth of the month, they agreed on Susa. They began to shoot at the fort, and the cannon fired to gather the people to fight. They left the animals to be shot and took cover from shooting at the city. Our master had sent his messengers to Susa, Sheikh Ibn Al-Abbas Ahmad Al-Amrah, and Sheikh Al-Raziyah Amer Al-Mazroui, to gather the people and manage their affairs. It was decided that they should descend from the fort and place themselves on the ground, so that the fort would not be shot at. After that, those forts were moved away from the place where they were, and the fort could only enter the city. The city was loyal to the tribe, and most of the army was outside the city. The fort was aimed at Susa. Fifty shots were fired at the fort in one day. Then, when they saw that they had not prevented anything, they attacked Susa and sent for the reinforcements, and it was besieged for seven nights, and there was no prevention. Then they returned to the alliance of the Rab. Al-Khidr Pasha had sent him the rights of the Sultanate to the Ottoman Empire, requesting the arrival of the jihad ships from Tunis to Istanbul to reinforce the Muslim army against the Muscovites. When the cannon was obtained from the French, and it was under the command of Kalab Al-Siraj, it was there. And when he was with the army, Pasha also sent him for this purpose, and he was allowed to do so. The soldiers boarded the ships and sailed in the appointed ships. The Sultan's banner was raised in his house. The French did not prevent them because of their strength. When they loaded the ship, they were greatly impressed by the French. When they loaded the ship, the matter was discussed regarding their war. Kuli Pasha decided to go to prevent it in the presence of the Sultan, as they intended to spread rumors about him, and he was busy fighting the enemy. All that was issued by him was done unjustly and oppressively.
