The greater pdrt of the district of Djesn is his own property; and he is increasing his estates every year. The Emir Beshir can do nothing important without his consent, and be is obliged to share with him all the contributions which he extorts from the mountaineers. The Druses, who form the richest part of the population, pay the least, being protected by the Sheikh; and the Erair scarcely dares to do justice to a Christian against a Druse. The Emir and the Sheikh are^ however, apparently, on ...the best terms: the latter visits the Emir almost every week, attended by a small retinue of horsemen, and is always received with the greatest apparent cordiality.* The Emir Beshir is an amiable man; and, says Burckhardt, " if any Levantine can be called the friend of a European nation, he is certainly the friend of the English."

Bertrand, his physician, made many inquiries about England; in particular, respecting his friend Sir Sidney Smith, who formerly saved him from the vengeance of Djezzar Pasha.
