The overland mail of the 1st February from Bombay has

arrived at Marseilles, bringing dates from Calcutta and Madras to the 24th of January. The Indian news is barren of interest. A notification had been published in the several Presidencies, under instructions from the India House, announcing that the sum of 600,000/. was to be raised in India by bills on the hypothecation of goods for the service of the East India Company. The advance on goods will be to the extent of three-fifths of the value.

Letters from Alexandria of the 21st February, mention that Mehemet Ali had gone on a voyage to delta; sea-air being recommended for the restoration of his health.
