occupied by the Egyptian troops in 1818, as is fully related in the
chapter on the history of Najd,
The year 1826 brought relief from the difficulty with the Janissaries,
who on being required to undergo a modern military training, mutinied
and were at last completely destroyed; but it was also marked by the
disadvantageous treaty of Akkerman, concluded with Kussia. In 1828
another war with Russia began, which lasted until the Treaty of
Adrianople on the 28th August 1829.
In the interim, from 1820 to 1827, Greece had been carrying on a
struggle for independence of Turkey, and ultimately, at the battle of
Navarino, the united fleets of Britain, France and Russia had taken
action on her behalf and destroyed the navy of Muhammad 'Ali of
Egypt, to whom the operations against the insurgent Greeks had been
confided by the Porte.

had by this time himself become a danger to
the Sultan ; and in 1831 he began to encroach upon his master's
dominions. Syria was occupied and Asia Minor invaded by his troops.
Britain, France and Russia then intervened, and a temporary settlement
was effected in May 1833. It was followed a couple of months later
by the Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, which created a virtual offensive-
defensive alliance between Turkey and Russia and made Rusian influence
supreme at the Porte. In 1831 an over-centralised system of Govern
ment was established for the whole Ottoman Empire, which eventually
caused paralysis of the provincial administration and produced evils
hardly less serious than those of provincial independence, but of a
different kind. In 1839 the trouble between Muhammad 'Ali

and the Porte was renewed, and the attitude of the former was so aggres
sive as to provoke the intervention of certain powers including Britain,
upon the side of Turkey. Mahmud, however, died on the 1st July 1839
before matters had reached their final stage, and even without knowing
that a part of his army and the whole of his fleet had gone over to the
Egyptians.
