For the last three weeks “our Eyes have been anxiously turned towards Barbary in expectation of the result of a Very Novel experiment which has been made in that Country.” According to accounts received yesterday, some of the leading people in the kingdom of Morocco, including the governors of Abda, Duguela, and Eramna, invited a number of people from neighboring provinces to attend a convention in order to settle the succession conflict.
