| | Ibrahim Pasha |
 | | Ibrahim Pasha (1789 - November 10, 1848), Egyptian general, is sometimes spoken of as the adopted son of Mehemet Ali, pasha of Egypt. |
 | | During his father's struggle to establish himself in Egypt, Ibrahim, then sixteen years of age, was sent as a hostage to the Ottoman capitan pasha (admiral), but when Mehemet Ali was recognized as pasha, and had defeated the English expedition under General AM Fraser, he was allowed to return to Egypt. |
 | | Ibrahim was undoubtedly helped by Colonel Sève arid the European officers in his army, but his intelligent docility to their advice, as well as his personal hardihood audI energy, compare most favourably with the sloth, ignorance and arrogant conceit of the Turkish generals opposed to him. |
