Last Saturday Colonel Mangin, in command of the French column

for the rescue of the nine French prisoners at Marakesh, reached the city. The Pretender, El Hiba., escaped in disguise, and the people of the city came out to meet Colonel Mangin in token of submission. This successful affair has caused great relief in France, as there had been much anxiety as to the fate of the French prisoners. They were found in the safe keeping of the friendly Bald El Glawi. It is fortunate for the French that El Hiba, who was at the bead of a troublesome-looking jehad, has discredited himself in the neighbourhood of Marakesh by his exactions.
