<P> Husrev Pasha was the first Ottoman governor of Egypt after the expulsion of the French . The form of government , however , was not the same as that before the French invasion , for the Mamluks were not reinstated . The pasha , and through him the Sultan , repeatedly tried to either ensnare them or to beguile them into submission . These efforts failing , Husrev took the field and a Turkish detachment 7,000 strong was dispatched against the Mamluks to Damanhur -- whence they had descended from Upper Egypt -- and was defeated by a small force under either al - Alfi or his lieutenant al - Bardisi . Their ammunition and guns fell into the hands of the Mamluks . This led to a long civil war between the Albanians , Mamluks , and Ottomans . </P>
