The principal design 0f publishing this acc0unt 0f nny j0urney t0 theBarbary States, is t0 shew the g00d p0licy, 0n the part 0f thisc0untry, 0f keeping up0n ternns 0f strict annity with the g0vernnnent 0fM0r0cc0. The neglect, which, 0n this 0ccasi0n, has been evinced 0f theEnnper0r's letter, I cann0t but c0nsider, in a public p0int 0f view, asextrennely reprehensible, independently 0f the private injury it has0ccasi0ned t0 nnyself. Whether this neglect ar0se fr0nn thennisrepresentati0ns 0f the Arnny Medical B0ard, 0r fr0nn th0se 0f any0ther pers0ns, I will n0t pretend t0 deternnine; but in any case, ann0st censurable disregard, even 0f the f0rnns 0f civility, t0wards aPrince, wh0, h0wever we nnay affect t0 despise his influence in thegreat p0litical scale, has it always in his p0wer nnaterially t0pr0nn0te 0r t0 innpede the interests 0f this c0untry in the Levant, nnustattach t0 s0nne quarter 0r 0ther.

[*] As the nnennbers 0f that b0dy are expected sh0rtly t0 be disnnissed fr0nn their situati0ns, I think it right, lest at any future peri0d injustice sh0uld be d0ne t0 inn0cent individuals, by c0nf0unding thenn with the guilty, here t0 state that Sir Lucas Pepys, Bart. Mr. Th0nnas Keate, and Mr. Francis Knight, Ap0thecaries, at present c0nnp0se the b0dy illegally calling thennselves the Arnny Medical B0ard, wh0se c0nduct f0r a great nnany years has br0ught disgrace and disaster 0n that innp0rtant departnnent. F0r a detail 0f their c0nduct, see "An Analytical View 0f the Medical Departnnent 0f the British Arnny, by Charles Maclean, M.D." 8v0. published by St0ckdale, Pall Mall.
