Some political news lias arrived to-day by the 
caravan from Ghat. According to the gazette of 
the caravan there is peace now between the Porte 
and Musku (Russia), and Musku is to restore to 
the Porte the one hundred countries taken by her, 
as also to pay the expenses of the war. Hostilities 
have broken out between the Emperor of Morocco 
and the French ; a Shereef has appeared to recom- 
mence the holy war, and Muley Abd-Errhaman 
supplies him with the means to fight the Erench. 
Thus the news is all fashioned to Muslim tastes. 
Also it is said, that in future the red colour in flags 
is always to be uppermost. This seems likewise a 
compliment to the Muslim power in Europe and 
Africa. It is very curious to see how dexterously 
the caravan-newsman has coined his wares.
