And the sanctity of family and the *sakaka*. And the English political intransigence in his enthronement magnified the matter and made it greater, especially since he saw from the group of bias on that day poverty and desolation, and revealed what was hidden of the nakedness of destruction. So he decided then with the truth of everything attributed to the actions of Abd al-Qadir. *Rashiya*, and thus restrained a group of senior officials, so Abd al-Qadir Pasha became, while expecting dismissal at any moment, and his opponents knew of the passage, so their *sakakat* were seen on the *al-Hudaivi* department, and the English policy did not achieve what it wanted in reducing the number of Egyptian soldiers in a few days. A friend told me, saying: Among the things that ruined the group of bias for Abd al-Qadir Pasha and their greatest effort to depose him from his position was that they saw that he was incapable of using his official authority to take the rights of some people and extend his hand to their properties without legal justification, and that he was inclined to harm others. He was causing great harm to the English and showing them his tongue in his trousers and openly. It happened that the fort of Al-Wajh, located on the borders of Egyptian lands and the permissible territories, was emptied of its garrisons and remained empty on its thrones since its occupation by the Egyptian armies after the Urabi revolt. Then the English armies sent a contingent of their soldiers to occupy it and raise the English flag over the surrounding areas. The Sublime Porte sensed this, so it immediately sent a group of senior army officers and *shahana* and a detachment of soldiers to that fort, so they took control of what was confiscated from the plains and what fell from the land of *al-Madkhliya*, so its matter was known and it was secured. It reached the traveler, and he met with Field Marshal Mukhtar Pasha Al-Mamalik in Egypt and discussed it at length. When the English policy claimed what happened and was distressed, he did not hasten to remove the sultans from that fort unless he paid with men of agreement in the Egyptian government to the fray with the Sublime Porte or dismissed Sir Pan. With the Minister Nubar Pasha in this matter, he did so and met with the ministers frequently. He saw from Abd al-Qadir Pasha shame and stubbornness in speech, so he calmed him down to *al-Hudaivi*. And *al-Hudaivi* hated the actions of Abd al-Qadir Pasha and resented him greatly, so he ordered the formation of a committee of senior government officials to investigate what was attributed to him regarding the confiscation of some people's money and the encroachment on the rights of the weak among the subjects. This committee worked secretly, urging and verifying these suspicions. It was not long before the news of Abd al-Qadir Pasha's dismissal from his post appeared, and people learned of his hasty departure from Cairo, so they realized that he was disliked and hated. So *al-Hudaivi* appointed Mustafa Qush Pasha in his place, and Muhammad Zaki Pasha replaced Mustafa Pasha as Minister of Finance.

(A point) During this period, the Sultan tried to win over the senior Russian and French politicians to his side. To request a reduction in the number of English soldiers occupying Egypt, and they all intended to request this. When the English policy claimed what they were doing, it gave way to their army commander to act with his assistance. And if the Sultan succeeded in winning over the Russians and the French to his assistance.
