A Renter's telegram, received in London on Friday, confirms the

previous rumours that the Sultan of Morocco has given way in regard to the claim for compensation made upon him by the British Legation ; and announces that on Thursday, Mahomed el Khatib, the Moorish Minister for Foreign Affairs, banded to Mr. Eliot, our Chargo d'Affaires, the sum of 21,000 agreed to be paid by his Government as an indemnity for the murder of the British subject Juan Trinidad. It is stated, however, though not officially, that the Sultan has not ordered the apology by the Foreign Minister required by Mr. Eliot, and that this question is still pending. In all probability, however, the apology, if still insisted upon, will be rendered, and the incident may, therefore, be regarded as closed.
