   "  We regret to announce the death of His Highness the  Prince AmeerJah Buhaders the Nabob of Carnatic who died at Chepauk Palace on Sunday  morning after a very long and painful  illness. We understand his desease was by no means a dangerous or difficult one of properly treated, but he refused all medical aid from European hands and improper treatment by native doctors greatly hastened his death.   He was 34 years of age and was installed on  Musnud on the 3rd of Feb 1820.
