ABSTRACT
On the night of the 23-24th, the Colonel of the 8th Regiment of the Line of His Highness Ibrahim Pacha arrived here from Seid for the purpose of making a levy of conscripts. On the morning of the 24th, he gave orders to his troops to seize upon the inhabitants, old or young, until the required number were obtained; and after placing a sentinel before the door of every Consulate, to prevent any from seeking refuge there, the soldiers dispersed among the villages, where by force of blows, and barbarous treatment, they carried off the people to the prisons allotted for that purpose. Some were fortunate in being able to purchase their liberty; and many were such examples.
