Sir, London, 17th January, 1818.

Respecting goat-skins dyed red or yellow, these are not brought by caravans from central Africa to Marocco, but are manufactured at Marocco, Fas, Mequinas, and Terodant the metropolis of Suse, from which manufactories they are conveyed to the interior regions for sale.

Goat-skins, with the hair, in the raw state only, are exported from Mogodor to England.
