[MOROCCO]: MATRA JAMES: (1746-1806) American Sailor and Diplomat who had accompanied James Cook on his voyage to Botany Bay in 1770. Matra served as His Majesty's Consul General at Tangier from 1786-1806. Small archive of nine contemporary manuscript drafts of letters from Matra, unsigned, thirty five pages (total), folio, n.p. (Tangier), June - December 1804, to Earl Camden. Matra writes a series of diplomatic letters in which he makes references to Napoleon, French espionage and other matters, stating, in part, 'I believe it will appear Sir that the restless ambition of Buonaparte is not content with disturbing of Europe, but that he seriously means in his leisure moments to attempt something in this country. Towards the close of last summer a Passenger landed here from…..Spain; about 30 years of age, he was in the Turkish dress & called himself Ali Bey, a Syrian, but he spoke not a word of Arabick. His story was that when he was an infant his Father & Family took refuge in England…..since he grew up his time has been employed in travelling through England, France & Spain. I have always observed here that the more absurd the Tale the more readily it was believed by Moors……yet this man had not been twenty four hours in the Country before he was suspected to be a Brother of the Corsicans, & still all over the Country he goes by no other name than Bonaparte…….he was asked if he wanted anything from the Emperor; he answered no, he was very rich & only desired to return to, and spend his days, in the religion of his ancestors…..About the middle of September he received from Cadiz forty cases, two of which were filled with mathematical instruments, the others contained such articles as are usually given at this Court as Presents…..The whole was consigned to the Spanish Arsenal. About this time he solicited my acquaintance considering him as an adventurer……The Emperor arrived shortly after with whom he went to Mequinez & we never met, which at that time I did not much regret, as we had here…..a man decorated with the Order of the White Eagle…..by the late Ali Bey of Egypt, who had been sent young as a Hostage to St. Petersburgh, & by an Empress of the Greek Church, brought up in the Catholick Religion. I believed him to be a Polish Jew…..who had taken up a trade he was no means qualified for & I concluded that this second Ali Bey was one of the same cast……On his arrival Mr. Goblot the Spanish Vice Consul & Secretary visited him & generally was with him every evening at what time all the Servants & Interpreters were put out & the Room shut……Goblot is a French man, but he has been near thirty years in the Spanish Service……In his [the Syrian's] journey to Mequinez under the very eye of the Emperor, he sounded all the Rivers, measured their breadth & examined the roads & mountains with the accuracy of a Quarter Master General…..The Moors are petrified…..The Emperor seems blinded by his piety & charities…..& by the very valuable Present he made him……yet I believe that H.I.M. is not altogether without his suspicions…..I conclude…..he can surely be no common traveller……that he is immediately an Agent for Spain I cannot readily believe because there is scarce any temporal advantage which……would induce the Court of Madrid to send a Christian here……Much is not easily to be done against a man who has such a command of money, & parts with it so readily as he does, but I will lose something on him. His principal Servants & Interpreters are Jews & I know that I can command the Services of the Jewish Priesthood in Morocco…..& I hope in the course of the summer to have him completely surrounded' (6th June 1804), 'Until about a week past there was every reason to expect a civil war of the most serious consequences. H.I.M., who was in Mequinez, for reasons not distinctly understood here had a dispute with the Udaya, a most powerful tribe who cover a great extent of Territory' (18th July 1804), 'I have the honour to inform Your Lordship that for a month past an attack by this country on the commerce of America was considered as certain. The Emperor had loaded one of his Frigates…..in the Pass given by the American Consul there was a prohibition for the ships entering any Port blockaded by the United States…….I believe My Lord there has been for a long time past very considerable intrigues here on the part of Spain to procure a revolution, as under the present Emperor there is no probability that they will obtain any corn from this country….' (25th August 1804), 'I have this morning received official notice from the Emperor that it is his intention to send a Person to London with a considerable sum of Money to purchase certain articles and I am requested to assist him…..to procure good Bills of Exchange……the sum I believe will be nearly two hundred thousand Mexicos' (18th September 1804), 'The danger I most apprehend arises from the disposition of the Emperor, which is a secret to none of the Parties. It is impossible to detest anything more than Mulay Suleiman does the Jewish Butchers of Gibraltar, whom he has described to myself as a set of Rascals enriched at his expense. He certainly has not much more love for us……we are the only nation who get anything from him, & he would be glad……to be rid of us…..The state of Health in Gibraltar and the main parts of Spain has caused a most rigorous Quarantine to be established here; but I have after a little struggle obtained a continuance of the supply for the Garrison…..all subject to the usual laws of Quarantine' (29th September 1804), 'I had a long conversation……I then learnt for the first time that the Emperor expected we would make him a Present of two Ships. I did not lose one moment to employ the strongest, but most decent language I could, utterly to destroy every hope of that nature……A very long experience has taught me the full value of such promises, yet when the state of Gibraltar became so deplorable….I wrote directly & solely to himself…..I told him plainly that if our Army was reduced the Spaniards who were in force at the lines were not such blockheads as to let the Peace stand in the way of such an acquisition as Gibraltar…..The opposition I meet with in this business is astonishing. Of course nothing is…..openly…..said, but every street & alley in the place is filled with whispers of the danger I am leading the country into' (20th October 1804), 'Of Bin Tab I know nothing personally……but I have a sufficient knowledge of his character from many who have associated with him in Portugal, Spain & Italy; he is a merchant & man of pleasure, and having lived much with the Christians, his manners are more polished than those of any other man of this country, As to other points I suppose he is a complete Moor as I have never known a change of life make any real change in the national character of these People……he generally keeps an open table where ever he is, & is reckoned a good judge of wine, of which he is very fond……of the English he knows much more than he is willing people should suppose' (21st October 1804)OWING TO LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THE SALEROOM THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THIS LOT CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED HERE.
