MADRAS,

It is with feelings of deep regret and concern that we an-
nounce the death of Sir Samford Whittingham, Commander..
in-chief of this Presidency, which took place most unexpectedly
yesterday evening, his Excellency having been to all appear-
ance in perfect health a couple of hours previously. He had,
we hear, attended a meetinc, of Council, and was preparing to
take his evening drive, when alarming symptoms suddenly
appeared, and, notwithstanding the prompt exertions of me-
dical aid, he was carried off by apoplexy after a very short in-
terval. During the brief period his Excellency has held
command of the Aladras army, his conduct has insured him
.the esteem of all ranks, by whom his loss will be deeply la-
mented.
The remains of this gallant and much-respected officer, whose
term of command here has been so brief, will be interred this
evening at St. Mary's Church, is Fort St. George, with all the
honours due to his rank. The flagstaff and the shipping in thi,
roads have had their ensigns hoisted half-mast
highon th
an-
nouncement of his death.— Spectator, Jaa.2o. e

Our Indian express has brought advices from Egypt to the
24th tilt., on which day the Great Liverpool steamer left Alex-
andria with the mail. Nedjib Said Effendi, Envoy Extraordi-
nary from the Porte, had arrived on the 20th ult., bearing
three &maxis for Mehemet Ali, one containing his pardon and
restoration to the Government of Egypt en heredite ; another
declaring the hatti scheriff of Gulhane to be the law of Egypt,
and a third appointing him Pacha of Sennaar, and prohibiting
the practice of slave hunts, or of making eunuchs. The Envoy
also announced certain other conditions which he would be re-
quired to adhere trv,—viz., to build no more ships without the
Sultan's permission, and to submit to the surveillance of com-
missioners in the military, naval, financial, and commercial
departments of his administration. It is said to be the inten-
tion of the Divan to limit his army to 20,000 men, and to pre-
vent his nominating officers to ranks above that of a Lieu-
tenant without the Sultan's approbation. He was to pay up
his three years' debt of tribute of 170, , under the inspee •

would not be a partyto compelling him to submit to a demand
