92 TRAVELS IN AFRICA, 
Quick in apprehenfion, impetuous in adion. Mamluks eight 
hundred. Power great and increafing. 
Ibrahim Bey, el Uali, a name derived from the fecond mili- 
tary magiftracy in the city, is a young man, about the fame age 
with the laft. He is married, as has been mentioned, to the 
daughter of the elder Ibrahim, and is firmly attached to his in- 
terefts. Of a fedate, yet firm charader. Mamluks fix or feven 
hundred. 
Aiub Bey, el zogheir^ or junior, is another powerful leader, 
perhaps the moft eminent in capacity among the whole, and 
on all occafions confijlted by the reft. His age, between thirty 
and forty. Mamluks not many. He is a prudent manager, 
and rarely accufed of extortion. 
Fatme, now the aged daughter of the famous Ali, is held in 
much refpedt by all the Beys. Even Murad, her hufband, ftands 
reverently in her prefence. When a Bey is appointed to a go- 
vernment, he never fails to pay a vifit to this old lady, who 
ledures him on his duties ; and will fay, " Do not pillage the 
people ; they were always fpared by my father."
