My friend finding himself thus perfectly secure, appeared in highspirits, and proceeded to the palace to prostrate himself before hissovereign. He was received with every mark of the highest approbationand favour. At his return to the camp, he came to me with a smilingcountenance, and related the flattering reception he had met with. Hethen informed me, that the Emperor had given orders, that a convenienthouse should be immediately provided for me, and that an officer ofthe household was coming to conduct me to my very new habitation. Thisofficer arrived while we were talking, and I followed him to my placeof residence, which I found exceedingly neat and commodious. This Icontinue to occupy, and am furnished abundantly with all thedelicacies which the city of Fez affords.

I have exceeded the bounds of moderation in this letter already, andmust therefore postpone my introduction till my next.
