Before the 1830s, consuls acquired distinctions by the multiplication of contacts outside of the setting of court ceremonies and public audiences. During audiences, however, consuls had to mingle with the bey's subjects. Until around 1830, most consuls negotiated arrangements that respected the framework of the ceremonial of the beylical court, but which nevertheless introduced some considerable modifications. To transmit news or orders, consuls and the beylical authorities resorted by preference to converts. It was difficult to obtain a ceremonial that distinguished consuls and envoys as representatives of a sovereign of equal, or even superior, rank. The same is true of the imperium of the consuls and the limitations on that imperium through provocatio legislation. A nice touch are intermittent notes with practical information on sailing, statistics and government decrees, the kind of information useful to a traveling consul. Several consuls also advanced their ideas about how to solve the problem. This was especially the case if the visit was made on the occasion of a ceremony that characterized the consul as representative of his sovereign. Although these visits became more frequent, they were observed with care by consuls who received them. These visits, carefully mentioned by consuls, facilitated the resolution of delicate matters. Second, as the consul's words revealed, the people's own perceptions of their identity, even when explicitly stated, were often considered irrelevant. But the two governments did not compel a thorough distinction between the consuls' two characters. The contraction con can mean 'convict', 'confidence trick', 'concentration', 'concerning', 'consol', 'consul' - and 'contradiction' itself.
