U. B. Consulate General,
Alexandria, Aug. 2G, 1801.
Sni : Au affair of coiuieleraulo Importance,
affecting the question ol religious toleration in
Egypt, has just been salislactorily settled by
the ugency of this Consulate.
On the night of Saturday, the 29th of July,
I received a telegraphic ellpalcb, dated tho
25th of that month, Irom our Consular Agcut at
Osiut (or Siout,) the capital of Upper Eypt,
stating that on that morning Paris, an agent ol
the American Missionaries, Messrs. Lancing
and Uaruet, bad been severely bastinadoed
and otherwise ill-treated at tho Court of the
Cadi Osiut, and had then, by order of the
Cadi, been imprisoned.
On the Monday following I wrote to Zulflcar
Pacba, the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Egypt,
demanding the Immediate release ol the iui
prisoned man and an investigation of his case,
and also announcing that I should expect ap
proprlate satisfaction for tho barbarous out
rage committed by order ot the Cadi on Paris.
Ills Excellency, on tho afternoon of the same
Jay, replied that he had Just telegraphed lor
lull intoruutlun as to tho tucU to the Moudlr
(Governor) of Osiut, and would communicate,
it to me at once. Two days lator, his Excel
lency accordingly Informed me that tho Moudlr
hail reported by telegraph that neither ho nor
the United States Consular Agent nt Osiut had
the least knowledge that Faris was an Aiue.il
can protege, but tint he would nevertheless
order an inquiry Into tho lacts.
In regard to Paris, it is proper to remaik
hero I hat I learned from tho missionaries that
ho was a Syrian physician of considerable
learning nuel accomplishments, whom ihcy em
ployed at Oslutfor the tale and distribution of
Jlibleu and religious publications. Ho was
not technically an Ameilcan protege, not hav
ing been provided with the iiecssiiy ccrtlfl
cate from this Consulate General, though In
Syria he had once enjoyed that privilege by
the lavor of tho proper authorities thcie.
Nevertheless ho had been presented in person
to tho Moudlr of Osiut, nud commended to his
protection as tho agent ol tho American mis
Hiouarles by Mr. Lansing some three mouths
before the outrage on him. The canm and
clrcumstauces of ibis nllalr wero bililly these:
A Christian woman, ol Osiut, who had been
compelled to proleBs Molmmmedaulsm, wished
to return to her original laitu. In the absence
of the Coptlo Ulshop tho employed Paris,
(whoso argumentative, no less than tils mrille il
skill, gives bim the. title ol Et Tahetb or Ellin
Aim, the Arabic for Doctor,) to be her ultotney
in cnronlvlnrr with tho mini formalities re
quired to enablu her to enjoy, In peace, her
new relklon. PirK wllhont coiwultlng Ms

appear in ber b'half before tho Cadi. Ills
liyuuuw u iuio uitifciii, uvt-vii, us well en
that of the wonan, was strictly opfoimiblo
to the laws of E;ypt, nml tho well-known Fir
man of the late Sultan, which guarantees rell

encies of th" Porte. Hut, InnpUro so reraolo

ii population of nt least twenty thousand for
Hie mrst part bigoted Mu.'ulmin. thy pinctl
cal enforcement of such libeiallly is exceed

Fiitb, being summoned to appear in the
court of tho Cadi as tho woman's attorney,

zens of Osiut, who. with tbo attendant labble.
numbering about sixty, anil subsequently In
creased tn two hundred, weio ovldeiilly ills
prged lo raisn u tumnlt. Theyliadlilely beatd
of tho accession of the now Sifltao, who wo
generally believed to bo an unrelenting enemj
of religious freedom, and under whoso reign
they pxpected unlimited license to exterminate
the cillous heresy ot Christianity. Without be
ing allowed to explain bis crw", and in evident
agrecmnut with tho prearranged plan' of the
Cadi, Paris was insultingly told to sit upou the
grfluud, uud was then bastinadoed and tortured
in tho most Inhuman manner until bo pwooni ii
away frrm his sufferings.
After being reviled, beaten with staves,
shoos, conrbnshes, (raw bides,) and being spit
upon, kicked, und iiigblfully maimed, he w.i
dragged by n, clamorous mob. urged on by tbu
Cadi and'Multl, to tho criminal cell ot the
prism, and only released that evening when
the jailer reported him to be dying. On re
viving the next day ho was again imprisoned
but wjs liberated by tho order of the Muidlr,
who hold an InvutVaiion and strongly con
demned the irregular and brutal proceedings
of tho Cadi and the populace. The Doctor who
pxamloid FarN rcporled bis wound lo be of
very perious character, aud it seeinj probable
that hU health Is permmently impaired. The
tumult thus created In Osiut, by popular vio
lence, was so great that the few European resi
dents there consideicd thiir lives In danger,
and Icared that tho m .isacres of .ledd.ili nml
Damiscus weio to bn leuewed. They there
lore petitioned for protection to thu Moudlr.
who itsued a proclamation commanding tho
Inhabitants to latum peaceably to their bouses,
nud to desist from further disturbances.
It Is to be observed that the barbarous tor
tum of the bastinado Ins bem ubollshed even
in tho army mid navy of Egypt by u decree ot
tho Viceroy dated on tho ninth of July of the
present year. Nevertheless, in tho semi eccle
siastical courts of tho Cadis, tho rules of which
are not determined by civil authority, this cruel
abuse llouiishes in full vigor.
A minute and deeply Interesting recital of
Hie proceedings at 0lut, willten by Paris to
tho Missionaries, is appended to this dispatch,
marked A. I also communicate herewith n
translation (marked B) ot the Cadi's letter to
the Moudir, justifying tbu outrage, and tbo
Moudlr's reply thereto (marked C) condemn
ing severely tho tua'meut of Paris. It will bo
soen that tho Cadi adiilts and even glori's In
his misconduct, which bo considers lo bo war
ranted beyond question by the approval and
co-operation of thu most distinguished and
wealthy Mussulmans of Osiut, and by tbo pre
cepts ol bis religion.
On Saturday, the 3d of August, having ro
ceived a letter fiom our Consular agent at
Osiut Inquiring as to the title of Faris to United,
States pioteclion, I returned a peremptory or
der to give bim all the ofllclal uid bis circum
stances might require.
On Monday, August Sth, I visited tho Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, In company v.itb Mr.
Robert Wilkinson, tho United Stntus Vlco Coav
sul at Cairo, and Mr. Lansing, the American.
Miionary, and one of the omployuB of Paris.
Alter laying before his Excellency the facts
relating to thu outbreak at Osiut, I requested
of the Government n steamer to convey raj sup'
or mv agent up the. Nlln to iu.-nro an lmnarllal
Investigation preliminary to the i unisbment of
the ci lino, lie replied that ho would pro-s.-nt
my request for a Bteamer to tho Viceroy ud
answer at once, but as for tbo punishment ot
those who bad assaulted Paris he could not
say, for It bnd not appeared that Paris was an'
American protege, no formal aud regular no-
tlco to that ctlect Having over ueeii s'trved liy
tho Con-ul General on tho Egyptian Govern
ment. In reply, I said It was quite iminateilal
to mv uurpose whether Faris was or was uot au
American protege in tho usual sense of tho
term. Fails was luo agent una repiescntatlvu
ot two American cltlzsn engaged tu u liw
tul missionary enterprise. An outrage on him
was an outrug on them, nud I should dem end
satisfaction as urgently as If they and not their
representative had been thus mallie itc.l. The
case, In my opinion, was one to be s lilt d not
by diplomatic technicalities, but ou its sub
stantial meilts, and ou the obvious principles
ot justice und common sense. Ills Excellency
assured me that it would be sHlled amicably:
and I withdrew, awaiting tho result ol my iu
epjost. Oa the following morning a verbal iuei.nge
came to mo fiom the .Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, stating that a Government steamer would
go to Osiut in a futv days, and that I should
have notice in tlmo to avail myself of that con
veyance.
Finding that this foreign olllco illctiInii was
not likely to expedito my busln ss, I reolved
to make a direct appeal to tho Viceroy, who.
with the most courteous readiness, granted me
an audience lor nine o'clock on the morning of
tho Sth InsWnt. At-ndcd as b loin, I called
at the palace of h s Highness at thn tlmo men
tinned. Alter answering his inqulile respect
ing our national struggle for Dm maint'iiencu
ot the Unilid States Government, I changed tin
subject by adverting to a small Insuru-clion In
his own dominions, which I hoped he would treat
with the same Mgor wiilcn wo applied to hucIi
troubltsut home. I Iheu uufuuuded tho case
to his Hlghnefcs. and told lilm (hat my Govern
ment and millions of people tbioughniit Ihe
world would await his decision with Interest.
Not only tho numerous and inlluenil il luilgtoiis
nfsoclallons of Christendom, but the friends of
civilization i very where would bold this to be
a lest question us to tho progress ul jus gov
ernment aud ril'gious toleration In E?ypt. II
his Highness wcie. to reconqnor Syrii aud
repeat In bin own persou tho military triumphs
of I is father, Mehemet All, he would not giln
such a degien of the confidence ol loielgu ua
lions In the strength and justice ol his Goveui
me'iit as by a satisfactory settlement of this
alfilr. The Viceroy replied tint itwiisdilllcult
ut present to enforce thn doctrine, ot tolention
in upper hfijpl, nml that some allowance
should lie mado tor tho peculiar opinions aid
wnys of tho people there. The Government
would always exert Itself to promote h rmo
nlous nud j ist li-latlons between foreigners and
thn n Hive population, and to do right to peo
ple of all leliglous en (ils. He also suggested
hat there might bo some exaggeration in tbo
stories of Ihe outbreak nt 0lut. In reponv,
I remarked that a perusal uf the report of bis
own officer, fbe Moudlr, would probably con
virco bim that there was no exaggeration. I
did rot rely on the stnlement of Fnrls, alone,
which, however, bore Ititerrnl evidence of its
truth. I would be willing lo rest my case on
the report of tho Moudir, wMch my friend, Mr.
Lansing, li.id brought with him. I would
almost consent to take the letter of the Cndl,
confessing nr.d justifying tbu atrocity he had
perprtratod. The VfVroy then fleclorcd he
would give mo nnmle satisfaction, and nked
mo what I desired. A steamer should bo put
nt my disposal In fortv-elght hours to convey
inysolf or mv commMoner of investigation to
Osiut. I tell his Highness that there was dan
gi r in delays ; that tbo opinion of tho Moudlr
concluded nil tho Invesgallon I dculred. I
now did uot wish for investigation, bat for im
mediate justice and pnnishm int. I would rest
tho casii on tho report of the Sioudlr, made after
his exam nation, and ask his Illghness to
aw ird penalty on tho bask of tbo facts therein
contained. Iho Viceroy nso-ifed, and said
that while I was sitting them, bo had ordered
tho Moudlr, by telegraph, to dome j'istlce. He,
also took tho letter of Fails and oter docu
ments landed bim by Mr. Lansing, nud prom
ised to cons'der thcni.
On the 15tb Instant I sent Mr. Wilkinson to
Ir.qulri of th Viceroy what had been done,
and lo specify what measures I would wlh
him lo adopt in case ho desired definite Inform
ation Ills incline's said ho bod deposed tho
Cadi and his subordinate from their offices.
Mr. Wilklnsjn told bim that I required the. im
prlsonrreut, not only e.f tho Cudl and Mulii,
but of all the tlnrleaders In the ouliage men
tioned in the Cadi's letter. I would nSo et-
peci ;i nan in nu.uuu io ua cxacteu from their
property to compen-ato Paris for tho Ii juries
ho had sustained. Ills H'ghnesj thought (his
pen illy too ferere. but promised to Inform nw
whit he would do further In a few days.

did not wish .o puulsh the other rffenders
without further iniestlgitlon. I tbttn said that
this modo of proceeding was ton dil 4ory. I
wished his Highness toehostlse offenders against
my Government w prompt'yas he would chas
tise ouenacin nrauut nts own There was no
need of further Investigation. Tho same facts
which warranted, In liw opinio i of bls'lliuh-
nes, the puubhm iho Cadi, would ju-
tlfy the punlshtnen io Cadi's accomp'lces.
I would not bo sati d wi'houi thu imprison
ment ui iucui uii, in nuutiioii to a neavy line.
His Jixcellency replied that thu Viceroy wns
extremely desiious to meet my wishes, but
feared such severe penattie-s would only pro
duce fresh uminoilies ngalmt the Christians ;
would nut milder penalties s rvo my purpose
better ? To this- I answered tbat half-way
measures irritated rather than subdued tho dis
orderly, tempting them to try their strength
with the Government. For tbo dispersal of
mobs, In my own couutry at least, tho superior
efficacy of bullets over blauk cartridges had
been conclusively tested. I again urged the
impoitance of immediate action, that 1 might
report to my Government a satlslactory solu
tion of tho matter by the next mall.
On the following morning, Noubar Bey
brought to tho Consulate tho message that his
Highness had consldeicd my suggestions, and
wcubl immediately lino and imprison the
thirteen men. He thought, however, that I ex
peeled too much ; that twu or Ibreo thousand
dollars was as much as thoy could pny, and a
month a long enough term of confinement. I
replied that, In consideration of the prompt
and handsome manner in which his lliuhness
had treated my wishes, I would consent to re
duce tho pecu ilary uward to SJ.OOU j bur,
who i so small a period as, one month was
suggested, I feared his Highness did uot an
precla.'n the enormity of the ciimo he proposed
to punish. Foi tho culprit who steals my
spoons cno month might bo sufficient : but hern
was a crime ngalnst civilization a crime which
It was the Interest of tho Egyptian, not les
than of my own Government, to rebuke, mid
tho minimum of punishment I could accept
w.n ono yo-ir. I bogged his Excello.icy to
u'-suro tho Viceroy tint ho would i ever regret
hiving embraced the opportunity I tuns gave
him of cnmuie.ndlog his Goicrnment to tho
swnn.UhieB of the world, and. ns I had l.eaid
ill it ihe Viceroy wub intending to tall that d ly
lor Constantinople, I trusted ha would send me
a favorable rtsponso bel'oru his deparlme.
Hi) Excelleucy then returned, promising lo u
puit the result of his interiiew.
About thre.il hours later I recelvi d a me sago
that tin Viceroy had ordertd the t'lirteea men
whet,,) names 1 had mentioned lo be imprison
ed for ono year, und that the flue ol llio thou
sind dollars should bo exacted lioni them,
eieh paling accoidlng to tho digree of his
ciiipabilfty. In older, boweier, that the p-iy-meutof
Fails might not bo delayed, the Gov
ernment would in once pay tho money, reim
bursing lb-elf nlterwards by tho collection ol
tbo fine.
Accordingly, Ibis morning, just two months
since the day of my iirriinl in Eypt, I had the
Hallslaction ol seeing Iho messenger ot the fiov
erumeut di posit a bug containing tho five
thousand dollars In gold In tbo office ol this
Consulate General, whero It Is now held sub.

After compliments, I beg to inform you,
reverend gentlemen, that I have olrendv writ
ten you briefly ot my having been bastinadoed
uy a .Muslim mob in the Court of Justice at
0lut, by otdr of the Cadi and Mufti, until 1
was nearly killed.
At that time, however, I waa still In a state
of great weakness, and therefore was unable to
give yon a lengthened account of the matter.
Now that, by tho grace of Jcsns, who hath
s dd. " my strength shall bo made perfect In
weakness," and by means of medicine and sur
gery, I am somewhat recovered, it behooves
me to Inform you of the whole matter more in
detail, as also what was done In my behalf by
my European friends, Messrs. Casavetti and
Nicolopulo, and by others, such as the agent
of our own exalted Government, Abd el-Mes
slab, the ngent of tho French Government, and
Mrarre. Yarfleb and Gluoreh. The following
Is a brief statement of the cast :
Tho Ulama (learned men) of the Mohamme
dans were In tho habit, from the first opening
of tho (missionary) book-shop, of coming lo
me singly and in companies to inquire what
wi.s my object in selling books at so cheap a
ta'e. Ilnlormed them it was the beneficence
of bi nevolent people, who, in accordance with
tho command of God which says " Love thy
neighbor as thyself," knowing that on account
of various reasons, one of the chief of which
Is the Ignorance of the mass of tho people, of
