SOUDAN.
Oaibo, Sept. 8. The troops at Kosheh are preparing for a general advance southward. Sept. 9. Oaman Digua is reported io have declined the request of the Khalifa to march upon Dongola,on the ground that it would be imprudent to leave a way open for the Indian troops to advance iuto the interior from Suakim. The reported death of the Khalifa is evidently untrue, as it is now stated that he is greatly alarmed at the recent actions of Oaman Digna in connection with the opposition to the expedition of Egyptian forces.
