^^^^' Soon after we arrived, we went on shore 
with the Captain, to visit Djezzar Pasha, 
whom Baron de Tott found at Acre, and 
described as a horrible tyrant ' above twenty 
years prior to our coming. Having acted as 
interpreter for Captain Culverhouse, in all his 
interviews with this extraordinary man, and 
occasionally as his confidential agent, when 
he was not himself present, the author had 
Djezzar favourablc opportunities of studying Djezzar s 
character. At that time, shut up in his 
fortress at Acre, he defied the whole power 
of Turkey, despised the Vizier, and derided 
the menaces of the Capudan Pasha; although 
he always affected to venerate the title and 
the authority of the Sultan. His mere name 
carried terror with it over all the Holy Land, 
the most lawless tribes of Arabs expressing 
their awe and obeisance whensoever it was 
uttered. His appellation, Djezzar, as explained 
by himself, signified butcher ; but of this name. 
{\) DeTott says/ that he entombed aVive a number of persons of 
the Greek communion, when he rebuilt the walls of Berytus, now 
called Berooty, to defend it from the invasion of the Russians. The 
heads of those unfortunate victims were then to be seen. Memoirs,
