They were met by the janissaries with the same spirit as before.

We went in state, accompanied by the Consul, with two janissaries in front, bearing silver maces, and a dragoman behind.

Besides, the janissary of the Consulate had showed us the way to his house.

Depending upon the attendance of the hotel-keeper at Cairo, who had been apprised of our approach, we had not put the janissary on shore, as we ought to have done, at the British Consul's country-house, who would have furnished us with a talisman to pass the gates.

they were all gentlemen, and formed gradually a great power, like the Janissaries at Constantinople, and frequently disposed of the purple itself.

Unlike the Janissaries of old, their sole ambition is to obey, and not to rule their sovereign.

These troops had not been recruited for eight years, and will soon die off; and yet we see that the Bey treats these remnants of the once formidable Turkish Tunisian Janissaries with great respect; of course, in an affair with the Arabs, their fidelity to the Bey would be most unshaken.

Colonel Campbell was most particularly kind and attentive, offering one of the government janissaries as an escort to Cairo; an offer which we most readily accepted, and which proved of infinite service to us.
