Excerpt from Anastasius, or Memoirs of a Greek, Vol. 2 of 3: Written at the Close of the 18th Century I was glad in my turn to find an opportunity of doing a chief, who formerly had distinguished me in a most flattering manner, a very signal piece of service. Some expressions, dropped by the capitan-pasha, had made me surmise that foul play was intended to the hostage beys. I need not say by what means I verified my suspicion; but I forthwith went and apprised Ayoob of his danger. His gratitude for this friendly act led him to offer me a handsome present, which I declined. Meanwhile Hassan had got every thing in readiness for his departure. He confirmed Abdi-pasha in his place of visier, and Ismail-bey in rank as schaich-el-belled. On his kehaya, whose name likewise was Ismail, he conferred the situation of his wekil, or agent at Cairo. After these, and other appointments, he assembled in the citadel a solemn divan; gave, in a set speech, a pompous detail of the incalculable benefits he had bestowed on Egypt, and terminated the sitting by inviting the four hostage beys, against the faith of treaties, to follow him to Constantinople. Osman, Abderahman, and Hussein, taken by surprise, were obliged to accept his proffered hospitality. Ayoob, put upon his guard by me, had taken his precautions, and prepared his chief mamlukes. The summons had scarce dropped from Hassan's lips ere he rushed out, and, assisted by his suite, sought refuge in Ibrahim's harem. Hassan durst not, in defiance of his own solemn promise, drag the most respected among the beys in disgrace from so revered a sanctuary. He was left at Cairo in the enjoyment at least of his outward honours. Those which Hassan offered to my choice were to remain in the citadel of Cairo, commander of the local Arnaoots, or to go back to Constantinople, and obtain promotion in the expected war.
