In the second year, he placed five additional cannons with the army and advanced to the Algerian encampment himself, supplying them with those cannons. The greater part of the attack was with the cannons, with a few shots fired with the army, then a retreat. This is what Janton Robe said. They were in their places without any cunning. Their shooting was scattered. After that, their books arrived, or rather, letters were sent to the Amir and the Pasha. The Diwan was written to, with letters of peace. The Diwan read their letters. The answer arrived that peace is what God has ordained as good, but on the condition that you provide all that you have wronged, and the liar's attack. You take your share and provide us with all that we have suffered in exchange for your request. Peace will be made between us and you, and you will return to your country, safe and secure. You will not be harmed. Their messengers returned with this news, and the answer was received. They agreed to accept the peace. The Amir rode towards those white lands and raided the Arabs of Hala Darjab, who were fleeing from Al-Aqareeb, taking some of them. They fell into the encampment, but no one came out. Screams were heard from it. They all retreated. This happened with Sheikh Abu Aziz and his men. He said, "I have not seen such a thing. The screams have reached us, and you have our king." He said, "Yes, but at night, none of you will be harmed, and no one will be wounded." His encampment was besieged for this reason. As for Nasib, he was simple. They had thought of Muhammad bin Ali, the brother of the Amir, and his father. He rode to the Amir's sister. The Amir's sister spoke of the days of Ibrahim Ashrib. The Algerians were tired. The Algerians and Muhammad bin Mustafa. Muhammad bin Mustafa was with the cannons. They descended upon Tunis. The news was sent to his brother, the Amir. He was informed of the Algerians' weaknesses and wrote to her, asking for Sheikh Abu Aziz's support and encouragement. But she did not agree until her time came.
