Despite being imprisoned in Newgate for writing a Radical pamphlet in 1819, Hobhouse became a successful Whig politician, serving in government as Secretary at War, Chief Secretary for Ireland, First Commissioner of Woods and Forests and President of the Board of Control. He became a Privy Councillor in 1832.

Hussein Pacha. Dey of Algiers. From a Drawing in the possession of Mr. Thierry. Late Consul of France at Algiers.
Printed by W. Day. 17 Gate Strt. [n.d., c.1825].
Lithograph, sheet 440 x 300mm. Foxing.
Hussein Dey (1765 - 1838) was the last of the Ottoman provincial rulers of Algiers (or Deys). Hussein hit the French consul with a fly-whisk as an expression of his anger over France's large (and growing) unpaid debt to Algeria. The French Minister of War used this offence as a pretext for an invasion of Algeria, which began three years later. The French army landed on July 5, 1830, near the capital Algiers, and they beat the Ottoman forces in short order. Hussein Dey accepted a French offer for exile, and with it France seized and looted the country, ending the three-century rule of the Ottomans.

Hussein Pacha. Hussein Pacha, aujourd'hui Général en chef de l'Armée du Danube, de simple Janissaire, devint Janissaire Aga, puis Pacha des Janissaires, il se mit à la tête de la révolution du 16 Juin 1826.

[n.d., c.1828.]
Mixed-method engraving with large margins, scarce. 440 x 320mm (13½ x 12½"). Bit dusty.
'Hussein Pacha, today General-in-chief of the Army of the Danube, rose from simple Janissary to Aga then Pasha of the Janissaries; he was head of the revolution of June 16, 1826.' For centuries the Janissaries had held the reins of power in the Ottoman Empire, forcing the Sultan to bend to their wishes or be deposed. Attempts at reform were often countered with murder, preventing the Ottoman army from being modernised and resulting in huge territory losses as the empire failed to win wars. However in 1826 Sultan Mahmud II was ready and in the 'Auspicious Incident' provoked a Janissairy revolt and then destroyed their barracks with artillery, killing 4,000. All survivors were exiled or executed. Hussein Agha Pasha (1776-1849) sided against his former comrades and was made commander of the new Mansure Army.
