What defence indeed, could they have made against such a powerful army? for at the end of 1897, Seoud had under his command a hundred and eighty thousand fighting men, betong ing to the wandering tribes alone. As to his wealth it increased daily, particularly by the prizes his allies made in the Persian Gulf, half of the value of which came into his coffers. These Arabs had assembled a considerable number of dows, carrying each four or five hundred men, and from twelve to sixteen guns. With all these forces the Wahabites did nothing| of importance in 1808, except pillaging the last caravan, and putting a total end to the pilgrimage to Mecca. They likewise made some attempts against Syria and Egypt. Scoud had sent letters to Damascus, Aleppo, and other cities of Syria, threatening them with destruction, if they did not embrace his doctrines. Despair gave to the Ottomans some energy; serious preparations were made on all sides; and the threats of Seoud ended in the occupation of a few fortresses to the south of Damascus. most striking event of the year, was the march of Seoud himself, at the head of forty-five thousand men, against Bagdad; but he was defeated in several skirmishes, and compelled to retire.
