The Sultan had also ordered the State's Admiral to sail to the city of Alexandria and its fortresses and strongholds, to kill the defenders and not to leave its confines until Muhammad Ali Pasha was captured and brought to the Sultan's court in chains and shackles. The ships sailed and anchored near Karabad. However, many messengers passed between its admiral and Muhammad Ali Pasha. It is said that Muhammad Ali Pasha benefited from this, charmed him, and Muhammad Ali handed over all the warships and galleys he had without war or fighting. Then, those on board the Admiral's ships were disembarked to the city. Those ships then anchored opposite the city of Alexandria, near Ras el-Tin. Then, the State's men, the Admiral, and the soldiers on board were disembarked to the city, having surrendered all their ships and war equipment. They had only been at sea for a few days when their leader fled into the land, east and west. The Admiral was ordered to disembark in a sacred house without war or fighting, and then after a few days, to move to a special house. Provisions were brought to him every month. The news spread among all the states, causing great astonishment. Some writers said that the Admiral's reason for surrendering in this manner was the delay in the army's supplies and the cutting of some provisions. Monsieur Callier, the envoy of the French state, who was previously mentioned, arrived with a decree from Muhammad Ali Pasha to the ruler of Filadha, informing him of the battle and what had happened in it. He set off very eagerly, wanting to reach Prince Ibrahim before his army was defeated. Prince Ibrahim, if he had been victorious and God had granted him victory and triumph, had ordered his envoy to march with the Arabs he had with him to Ghazna, fight those there, and conquer it. He also ordered Osman Bey, Ahmed Bey el-Menkali, and Suleiman Bey to seize all that could be seized in Asia Minor. He himself marched with another group of soldiers and troops on the 16th of Rabi' al-Thani, intending to conquer it and bring it back to obedience. He descended upon it with his army and men. Its elders and influential people came out to him, begging for his pardon and forgiveness for what had passed. He pardoned them, but imposed double tribute on them, which was harder for them than the fire of war. When it was the night of the eleventh of the said month, Monsieur Callier arrived at Prince Ibrahim's camp. The Prince received him well and treated him with great honor. He spent the night there, and in the morning, he handed Prince Ibrahim a letter. He then urged him to refrain from fighting and leave the matter to God for a peaceful resolution. Prince Ibrahim was displeased with this and said, "There must be fighting until God decides what is to be." Monsieur Callier pressed him, and kept pleading with the Prince, but he only became more stubborn and distant. The writers differ on what led Prince Ibrahim to refuse to comply with Monsieur Callier's demands. Some say it was due to his father's order through Sami Bey, his scribe, and others say otherwise. Prince Ibrahim was determined to march and fight and announced to his army the mission of Monsieur Callier to march and cross the Dardanelles and wage war wherever they could. For Monsieur Callier, he continued to persuade him until he issued an order.
