had now sunk into his official * dotage. The general stare of the Pashaliq
in May 1802 was one of inefficiency, confusion, and alarm. The city
of Baghdad and the town of Basrah were both insufficiently defended
against attack ; and the garrison of the former, apart from some 500
ragamuffins described as Baratalis, Tufangchis, etc., consisted of 6,000
to 7,000 Janissaries, "undisciplined and unruly, who probably, when
" distressed by the inconveniences of a siege, would turn like a wounded
"elephant on their own party/' The greater part of Kurdistan was
still comprised in the Pashaliq, but the leading Kurdish families were
distracted by feuds and broils, and the district itself, apart from the
military contingents which it furnished, was not a source of strength to
the Baghdad (xovernment. Of the Arab tribes of the country the
Shammar Toqah upon the Tigris near to Baghdad were disaffected
towards the authorities, by whom they had often been cruelly treated;
and the more distant Bani Lam were in partial revolt through the
attack of a Shaikh, recently deposed by the Turks, upon the successor
whom they had set up in his place. The whole district from Kut-al-
Amarah to Jassan and thence to Hawizeh was, owing to these causes,
pre} to disorder. Besides these troubles at home there was also the
constant danger, or at least the constant fear, of invasion from Central
Arabia on the one side and from Persia on the other.
