he was now in disgrace with Muhammad 'Ali, whose jealousy
had been excited by his exploits, and very little assistance had reached him
by sea, only one vessel with stores arriving at Qatif in November 1839,
in place of four vessels of war which he had expected at an earlier date.
In May 1840, when a blockade of the Egyptian ports of Qatif, Saihat
and 'Oqair by British war-vessels was imminent, news was received of
the actual withdrawal of the greater part of the Egyptian forces from Najd.
Their departure had been heralded by a tour which Khalid, accompanied
by a body of Egyptian cavalry, had undertaken in the districts of the
interior in order to receive the allegiance of the local Shaikhs, whom
he was in future to govern unaided. In Hasa the order to retire was
celebrated, as it had been once before in 1819, by an abnormal display of
rapacity on the part of the retiring officials; and Barghash, a Shaikh of
the Bani Khalid, was at the same time put to death in retaliation for the
murder of Muhammad Effendi. It was intended that Najd should for
the future be controlled, through Khalid, from Madinah; and, to
enable the Egyptian nominee to maintain his position, a force of
800 Egyptian troops, of whom about two-thirds were infantry, were left
at his disposal.

The reign of Khalid, who as the creature of the Egyptians was
geneially disliked, and who appears to have possessed no capacity for
government, was short and troubled. His prestige was impaired from
the first by rumours that the ex-Amir, Faisal-bin-'Abdullah, had escaped
or had been liberated in Egypt, and by the check which his Egyptian
pations weie known to have sustained in Syria at the hands of European
po\v eis. Claims also were advanced by the Porte to suzerainty over
Najd; and Khalid, acting perhaps under the advice of Khurshid
