French diplomat M. de Forbin wanted to ruin diplomatic relations between the two states. He rescued [Christian slaves](/source/White_slavery) on a French ship called the ''Téméraire'' from Algiers. Even with two riots in the capital, Hassan calmed the situation with his goodwill.<ref name="auto"/>

When the [Bey of Tunis](/source/List_of_beys_of_Tunis) [Mourad III](/source/Murad_III_Bey), Algerian [Janissaries](/source/Janissaries) rose up against Hassan, forcing him to abdicate his title of Dey to the [Divan of Algiers](/source/Divan_of_Algiers). The Divan decided that [Agha](/source/Agha_(title)) [Hadj Moustapha](/source/Hadj_Moustapha) would take the title of Dey. After that he was sent to Tripoli where he probably died.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Garrot |first=Henri |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=p-xAAAAAYAAJ&q=Hadj |title=Histoire générale de l'Algérie |date=1910 |publisher=Impr.
