In these encampments there is always a tent set apart for religious worship, and appropriated to the use of the weary or benighted traveller, who is supplied with food and refreshment at the expense of the community.
The character of the Arab, in a general view, is decidedly more noble and magnanimous than that of the Berrebber.

His vices are of a more daring, and if the expression may be used, of a more generous cast.
He accomplishes his designs rather by open violence than by treachery; he has less duplicity and concealment than the Berrebber, and to the people of his own nation or religion, he is much more hospitable and benevolent.

Beyond this, it is impossible to say any thing in his favour.

But it is in those periods of civil discord, which have been so frequent in Barbary, that the Arab character completely develops itself.

On these occasions, they will be seen linked together in small tribes, the firm friends of each other, but the sworn enemies of all the world besides.
