Second occupation of Najd and Hasa by the Egyptians, 1838-40.
After the deportation of the Amir Faisal, the Egyptian commander,
whose forces, regular and irregular, now amounted to about 3,000 men,
established his headquarters at Sulaimiyah in the district of Kharj and
despatched 300 irregulars to Hasa, where he caused the ports of Qatif,
Saihat and ^Oqair to be garrisoned. The position of Khalid, who from the
first had been merely a puppet in the hands of the Egyptians, was now
anomalous and uncertain ; for, though the Egyptians in their dealings
with neighbouring states pretended only to enforce the rights of the
Wahhabi Amir and at one time held a ceremony for the installation of
Khalid and invested him with a robe of honour, Khurshid Pjlsha
appears, nevertheless, to have kept the entire management of affairs in his
own hands and to have proclaimed the absolute sovereignty of his master,
Muhammad 'Ali, over the whole of Najd.
The designs of the Egyptian Government had this time a much wider
scope than in 1818-19 ; and their object seems to have been now nothing
less than the reduction of the whole of Eastern as well as Central Arabia,
and the appropriation of the 1 urkish province of 'Iraq. An assurance which
