The source of good news in a Browning poem (5)

I believe the answer is:

ghent

(Other definitions for ghent that I've seen before include "European city" , "Belgian city (from which the "good news" was brought to Aix)" , "Belgian port" , "City of northwest Belgium, known for its cloth industry" , "NW Belgian city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
