"Sir: As different European merchants, who
have FOR many years owed considerable OF
money to the Government, and others, whom his
Highnoss the viceroy generously permitted to dis
charge the greater part of their debts at different
periods, have both abused the generosity of his
Uighness, and have not hitherto taken to dis
s.g,rge their engagements. His Highness can ne
longer overlook the conduct of the said ndv iduals,
which is very injurious 10 the country, not only
on account of the amount ofther debts, but also
account of the example they set to other mer-
chants; and he has therefore commanded me to
communicate 10 the aforementioned debtors, that
he grants them final delay of six months from
this day pay their debts into the royal treasury.
when that time shall have passed, all those who
shall not have paid their debts, will be absolutely
obliged to quit Egypt and will not be allowed TO
return there; His Highness will then deliver their
obligations into the hands of their respective Con-
sus, as an acquitta of their debts. Since some of
the said debtors under your protection, beg
YOU TO inform them of his Highnesss determination,
that they may take steps 10 fulfil one of the above
measures, and remain, with great respect, Sir,
