Description | Report on the progress of French civilization and influence in Palestine, from the installation of the French Consulate in Jerusalem on July 20, 1843, to January 28, 1844. Results obtained. Protection granted to Jews in Algiers made effective. Violent and inhuman processes repressed. Barbarian prejudices undermined in their foundations. Principles of morality and public order strongly instilled in people's minds. Entire devotion of the Israelites of all nations and of the Chief Rabbi to the King and to France. Reasons for France's influence on the Arab Sheiks and Tribes. The existence of this influence was proved by the readiness of the Great Scheik Abougosch to punish some of his own who had disrespected our nationals; it was also proved by the tributes of the Cheiks and the Tribes surrounding the French Consul. Need to make, from time to time, some gifts to the Sheiks to maintain these good dispositions. Reasons for our credit to the authorities. 1° The wisdom and practical utility of our disinterested advice. 2° The fear of default on our behalf, following the dismissal of Reschid Pasha. Consequence of the reparations obtained in the national flag case: The principle that no one can impede with impunity the exercise of France's firmly established rights. The constant display of national colours would inculcate in people's minds this other conviction: that no one can, even by expiating his fault through harsh punishment, hinder the exercise of France's rights. The preponderance of France is indisputable. The interests of humanity and the great maxims of public order safeguarded by the omnipotence of the French name. (PP. 146-150) |
