oF A LETTER FROM HASSAN KASEN TO HIS
3AUTlitit ISNMAFL KASEM, IN LONDON, DATED
•LGIIRS, TI 3D DAY OF THE BTH MONTH, 1181.

Again the found of humanity and abolition echoes
Trout the walls of the Douwan. Again the hoaile
sowers of avarice and joftice fummon their adherents
to the eonflia. May the event prove creditable to
our country, and glorious to the religion of the Pro-
phet. Creditable, did I fay. to our country ? No ;
never—never can the foul blot be wiped from this
city of blood. Piractand Algiers will remain united
till the fun and the moon, the witneffes of our flume,
withdraw their light from a guilty world. Worfe
than C'lniaian infamy has blafted our name to the
latell generations; and all that remains for us now
is repentance for the pall, and amendment for the
future. Who krows.but fincerity in the only duty
now in our powar. may avert the vengence of Allah,
manifelled in the bloody fcenes attending the deli-
verance of the flaves in Ognimod from the iron yoke
of a ncighboUring Rate, our partners, but not our
*quail, in this fpecies of iniquity. May Allah timely
difpofe our countrymen in the well to profit by this
t emendous example ! and five them fronsthefreggaaffe
'poem, woo pticreijeEJAviv fo their near neighbours•
This awful event has added another irrefittible ar-
gument coeliac which were urged by the Abolition.
Ms, when than wall in this place. They now con-
jure the Douwan to prohibit a praftice, attended with
no benefit, which may not •be obtained by hone&
means ; a prattice which dellroys and brutalizes our
brave tailors, hardens our hearts, ftupifies our intel-
lees, confounds oar moral ideas, difqualifies us for
every duty of good Muffulmen, and (which is pecu-
liarly ferious is the prefent conjun&ure) 6111 owe
weOsrn did: ifts with hordes of bloody-minded Cbrif- 1
times, always difpnfed et ed fis ti faj.
The opponents of this meafure, the men of bard
hearts and inacceffibls underftandings, dill croak
over their old pretences. Like the mountebanks
hom thou and I law exhibiting to the mob at Al
Cairo, they prutnife great feats and furprizing ex.'
berances ; but, in fart, they only play off a few Rah
trick*, and recount the virtues of their fophifticated
talifmans, without variety, without genius, (I do not
fay istrestion) and I may add without effetff ; for the
duffed fagiaid of the Donwan now regards this vile
list as one of thole cloaks which low cunning fo
Minn fabricates to,hide the deformity of villainy
They pretend, for example, that they make cap-
eves of the Cbri Mans, in order to convert them to the

'faith. Beard of the Prophet! Are whips and chains the
Upeoper internments of converlion Force, or atom
worldly motives, may indeed produce the prefeisse of
%religion, but never the reality. Conning Chrillians.
411Veophants, well know how to gain our favour by
Slanting the appearance of our faith. But as a mean
of general conscrtion, the Smith inquifities was
wifJom and mercy, compared to this piratical mode
of snaking profelytes to Iflarnifm. Betides, we all
know this pretence bb be as falfe as it is ablistd. Do
Iduleey Moloch, Aehmet, Harraadan, and other+
followers of that Ramp, it est galleys, prow
through the fees, and fight bloody battles, in order
to propagate our holy faith t Fools may believe this
if they pleafe ; but thou knoweft, that when rogues
turn apoliles, it behoveth Dana men to be on their
guard.
Thcfe fame bloody battles remind me of another
pretest, which is, that the Chriflians are better at
'on our yeftern plantations than in their own coon-
try, where they are continually cutting each other's'
• throats. And what right, I silt, have we to inter-
rupt them in this Chridian work? But thofe who
urge this argument, and the poor creatures (if any
fuch there be in the Douvran) who linen to it, do
_ _

not teem to know that the Chrillians themfelves are
the ea!, proper judges of what makes them comfort-
able; that it h not in the power of our Have-drivers
to force human creatures to be happy ; in fhort, that
Paradife itfelf would have no joys for beings who
abhorred it. And that our Chriftian captives, in gene-
tal, do mot cordially abhor our pretended earthly pa.
radifes, is evinced by their continual attempts to ef-
tape from them, always at the riik, and too often
with the left of their own lives, and thofe of their
opprefors. Thefe are rather equivocal marts of a
paradifaical Rate.
Another prefect of the defenders of Piracy is, that
if we abandon it, the Ttipolitans and the Tuniaans
will immediately feiu our (bare of the trod. By the
flipper of kdevelevah ! thi, argument would difgrace
any man but a Pirate. What Are we never to lay
down nor iniquities, left our neighbours Should take
them up I At this rate, the receivers of Stolen goods
will not be in halle to retire from bufinefs. Yet if
their trade were abolifbed in any particular province,
it is plain that the total demand for Stolen goods
throughow the kingdom would be leffened by the whole
demand of that province. But force men do not
chafe to undo, Rand this appofite plan, and hamiliat
ing parallel I know not how it is, Brother, but fe.
vend wroth, who are not pirates, betray a Orange
liking to pi.uy, or at lull an unaccountable fear
that their country may be rivalled in this tidied
trade. The Bohm Dafhaw. Ouellem Ouendenii, is
faely tteebied with thi, kind of commercial jeal.,ury.

I think it is but charitable to look upon it as a fymptom
of his cafe. Pray, my good Iftsmael—pray for this
poor man, that the light of the Prophet may reftore
him to his right mind ; for at prefent he Items to be
at enmity with every creature which has life. From
the mice and rats which nibble at the candles t and
other eatable% in the Dey's pantry, to the defencelefs
Chriftian traders, who never hurt a hair of his beard,
be would have all killed off. In.full Douwan, amidft
all the grave Senators, he has not fcrupled to de-
fend the practice of bun-worrying, which may be a
proper entertainment for our ferocious natural ene-
mies, the Chriftian Spaniards, but utterly difgraces
generous Muffulmans and Algerines. Perith Com-
merce! Profper Piracy ! Does this language befit the
dignity of a man who is, or rather has been, a Boluc
BAlhaw, and who poirefies abilities, and, when in his
right mind, difpofitions, which might render him an

ornament to his country.
I would tire both tbee and myfelf, were I to follow
our piratical fpeech-makers into all their"vile fubter-
rages But I mall not omit their grand pretext—
the want of laves to cultivate our Weßern territory.
Well, I do believe this tattle thing called Slavery, very
much refembled the horfc-leech, which never lays, It
is enoegh. For feveral generations have Algerines
been plundering, murdering, and entlaving the (realer
ehriftian tribes ; yet oar Weftern Colonifts Rill cry
out, Give, Give—Give us Slaves I" and this as
eagerly as if human Relit were the raw material of
their nsaaufaaure. Is this ravage, cannibal* hell-
hound cry for Chrittian blood never to be fatiated ?
Again and again have they been afked, calmly and
eourteoufly, How it comes to pars, that their Chrif-
dam (laves do not propagate their kind, like all other'
human creatures—yea like all other living creatures,

from the cricketsonopr hearths, tothe very lions and
wild area on our mountains, whole fublillence is fo
peculiarly fcanty and precSrions ? But never could
we hear a rational intelligible anfwer to this fair and
plain queflion. Is it not natural then and neceffary
for us to refer to the authentic documents before the
Douwan, which account for all th e e va non. refer ve, and
abfurdity which have dillinguilhed this moll impor-
tant head of enquiry. by afcribing the decreafe, or
rather nowincreafe of the (laves, to the miknanage-
ment,paramony. and oppreffion of our colonial far-
mers and their drivers. For, not to mention down-
right Rartration, brutality, and murder, it is incontef-
tibly ejablilbed, that. die poor Chriftians, male and
female, an univerfally and Literally oases* to their
ereffoory work, with heavy thong whips, like the
barks and dies in the town and vicinity of Algiers.
Is it to be expedted, that human beings, thus treated
(for I do openly aver and maintain, that thr Chrif-
dans cm human brings) fbould inereafe rapidly ?
Yet inch is the uncontroulable power of the univer-
fal law of animal life, that their dec r cafe is now tri-
lling I Co trifling, that a aegis thong taken out of the
cart whip and an additional snip t of horfe beans
in the week, would taro the balance. If piracy be
abolifised. the cart whip and the chain will be light-
ened; the weekly snip of beaus, and perhaps a her
ring to Ceara them. will be furnifhed ; theChrillians
will int:este ; and thus our Weflern Farmers will get
rich by their own humane liberality.
We are told, indeed, that our Weflern diaries are
not fufficiently Rocked witlx the Chrillians. But this
cannot be true, being incompatible with the finall de-
create jell mentioned. That decreafe could 'not
have been (mall, alders the the-Chriftinnt had been in
or am the due proportion to the he-ones. That
this proportion nasally trills, farther appears from
the well known fail, that the far greater part (per-
haps feveusightbs) of the Chrillian naves were born
on the foil they cultivate, in the fame proportion of
fens in which people come into the world in all other
countries. Betide., our Wellern Farmers have had
near twenty years warning to provide themfelves with
Ose-ftock, and to let about rearing young Chrillians
in good earned. And, In.)reover, be this want of
breeding females real. or be it pretended, what right
have thole men to cape& the Dou w an to tolerate piracy,
becaufe it happens to be thought convenient for a fyf-
tem of agriculture, the molt +blur,' and oppreßive in
the whole world; not excepting that which is prac-
tikd in the Ccloi.ies of our natural enemies the Spa-
niards ? Yea, I will go firt!er, and maintain, that
no one argument, from religion, morality, or found
policy, can be offered ci:her for the !Livery or the
piracy of the Algerines, which may not as well be em-
ployed to jußify the Englifh Slave trade itfelf. Let us
not deceive ourselves: Not our loath prejudices
and blind Pelf love, but the laws of Allah, are the
Randards of righteoufnefs ; and fooner or later his
vengeance wiR overtake all hardened oppreffors, Chrif-
dans or Mufru..mans, Englilh or Algerines.
