to Rass in Qasim. The movement, which was undertaken in defiance
of Muhammad ; Ali^s orders, was a dangerous one; but the Wahhabi
Amir was overawed and agreed, in consideration of the Egyptians
retiring from Qasim, to relinquish his claims to Makkah and Madinah,
to acknowledge the Sultan of Turkey as his suzerain in a general sense,

of March to the end of June 1815, and his halt in Qasim was of only
four weeks' duration. The treaty arranged with the Wahhabis was
not ratified by Muhammad ; Ali, possibly from pique at his son's

besieged for three or four months, but failed to take, notwithstanding
heavy losses in killed and wounded and a vast expenditure of ammunition.
He obtained possession, however, without difficulty, of Khabrah, Anaizah
and Buraidah ; and Qasim as a whole then submitted to him.
Shaqrah in Washam was taken in January 1818, after a short siege,
it being the first place in Southern Najd to fall; and a massacre was
committed by the Egyptian troops at Dhrumah, but not without some
provocation in the shape of an irregular attack which was made upon
them. On the 6th April 1818 the operations against Dara'iyah were
begun ; and they continued with varying success, the besieging Egyptian
force being itself at times reduced to the utmost straits, until the 9th
