To his son Ibrahim, with a plea for forgiveness from the fortresses and castles on the line of the key of the Levant from the direction of Egypt, and he refused to carry a truce to the Sultanate Island. He intensified the mobilization of armies and the preparation of equipment, and sent many large ships loaded with provisions and ammunition to his son, Faysal, the Sultan's son, so that the Great Powers would mediate. He ordered action to be taken to stop Muhammad Ali Pasha. The European powers knew that if the fire of war intensified between Muhammad Ali Pasha and his Sultanate, Muhammad Ali Pasha would have what he wanted from the interaction of his army within his Egyptian territory and would seize the countries he wanted to exploit, making his base on the banks of the Nile. The eyes of Russia, which hoped, according to the treaty of Hunkar Iskelesi, that what was handed over to them would be under their supervision in the seas of the Ottoman Empire, and that they would obtain from it what would be heard by the powers to return the matter to its origin. And God knows what will come of it. So the French state, through Baron de Rousset, in charge of its foreign affairs, remained silent to Muhammad Ali Pasha, saying: "It is time for the Sultan to withdraw from this disastrous war, after his army has known and it has become clear that his army has no ability to confront the victorious army with your father's good leadership. He has renewed the treaty with the Tsar of Russia, and he has sent him that reinforcement he requested to fight your son. It was said that he had rushed into the matter, but the Tsar did not pay attention to any of that and ordered a Russian warship, one of the largest, to sail to the Bosphorus. It carried a peace envoy with a message about what would happen if you refused peace and were determined to fight. So issue a decree and be convinced, do not delay or make excuses, and never open the door to them for invitation to harm. And may God guide you to drink for your Sultanate in good times and bad. Khalil Pasha will come to you, sent by the Sultan, with the terms of peace that have been decided. Do not refuse them, and do not hesitate to ask. The Russian state will inform your Sultanate of your submission. Remember that you pledged to your Sultanate to make peace to save the lives of your subjects. And his eyes welled up with tears. So, submit to your Sultanate. And write to your son to refrain from fighting and accept what your Sultanate has conceded to you. For they have made a pact with him, and your son has jurisdiction over your kingdom, and all the lands of Jerusalem, the Levant, and Egypt. Beware of greed, for it brings ruin upon you and your lands. And know that the French state, which has gifted your men and excelled in the arts of war, is not to be neglected. It is the one that suggested the conclusion of this peace and was pleased with the established base for you, and sent to the Sultanate for this purpose. So do not be arrogant, and do not obey your desires. And a book from my Divan, written by Kasir, will reach your residence. So honor him and benefit from him as you have always done us good. And peace. And the state of France and the Alliance also sent to Muhammad Ali Pasha through its consul, saying: "With the utmost calm, he has not stopped at the limit of royal obedience." And the Russian state also sent to him saying: "If you do not abandon your error, cease your injustice, and return to the obedience of your Sultanate, you will be held accountable."
