EXTRACTS

FROM A WORK ENTITLED

SHABEENY'S ACCOUNT OF TIMBUCTOO0,

By J. G. Jackson.

ALI BEY (EL ABASSI).*

THIS extraordinary character visited Marocco about the year 1805 to 1806. He pretended to be a native of Aleppo, called in Arabic Hellebee, and was known by the name of Seed Hellebee, which signifies "the gentleman of Aleppo." Europeans, as well as himself, since his return to Europe, have converted this name into Ali Bey, of the family of the Abassides. This gentleman possessed abilities of no ordinary degree: he was supplied with money in abundance by the Spanish government. He had not been long at Mogodor, when his munificence began to excite the suspicion of the governor, as well as the admiration and applause of the populace. Adopting the costume of the country, he professed himself to be a Muselman; and as a pretext for not speaking the Arabic language †, he pretended that he had gone from Aleppo, the place of his nativity, to England when very young, and had forgotten it. He had, as he declared, considerable property in the Bank of England. Being desirous of collecting all the information possible respecting the country, he procured two young Spanish renegado musicians, who played on the guitar, and sung Arabic airs and songs, with which he affected to be highly delighted: these musicians, however, served his purpose in another way; for, being apprehensive of creating suspicion by direct inquiries, he prevailed on these renegadoes to procure the information he desired, by giving them from time to time

several questions to which they procured direct answers, as reported by the natives.

One day he gave a fête champetre at (L'arsa Sultan), the Sultan's garden*, situated near a very picturesque rivulet, and contiguous to springs of excellent water, which, being collected in a large tank, was conveyed by an aqueduct, which extended the length of the garden, to immerge or irrigate the various beds of flowers and plants. On his return home, as he was crossing the river near the village of Diabet, a Shelluh shot a large fish as it was passing the shallows. Seed Hellebee, or Seed Ali Bey, admired the dexterity of the Shelluh (who, from his quickness, was nicknamed Deib, i. e. the fox), and desired him to take the fish to his house at Mogodor, which he accordingly did, and received from Ali Bey's secretary a handful of dollars. This Shelluh was a keen sportsman, and seldom or never missed his shot: he generally accompanied me in my shooting excursions, and he told me this circumstance himself, adding, that Ali Bey was such a liberal man, that where any other gentleman gave a dollar, he gave a handful. It was in this manner that Ali Bey purchased his popularity.

The governor of Mogodor, Alkaid Muhamed ben Abdsaddock, now began to suspect, not only the faith of this soi-disant Muhamedan, but that he had some design unavowed; and desirous of ascertaining to what nation of Christendom he belonged, the governor engaged Monsieur Depras, a respectable French merchant of Mogodor, who understood several languages, to ascertain if he was a Frenchman, and if not, who and what he was. The governor, in order to enable M. Depras to converse with Ali Bey, invited them both to tea: this introduction being effected, the next day, Depras called on Ali Bey, and conversed with him during an hour in the French language, which he spoke so well,

This garden is in the province of Haha, about five miles S. S. E. of Mogodor, and belongs to the European Commerce, to whom it was presented by the late Emperor Seedi Muhamed ben Abdallah.
