The Express.
London, England, 1853-06-21 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1853,

gave the following number of sick under treatment :
Ordnance, 5 ; 59th regiment, 29 ; Ceylon Mies, 18 ;
Oue Lucas, 6 ; total, 58.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's st. Pottinger came in last evening about
sundown, bringing 1,214 chests Patna and 319 Be-
mires Opium. The Pottinger left Calcutta on the
31st ult., but owing to the displacement of some of
her machinery, lost a couple of days drifting about
in a calm whilst repairing. She left Singapore on
the 12th instant—has had strong head-winds the
last four days—and passed the Paoushun and Erin
some three or four days ago.
From Rangoon we have, per Straits Times, the
following intelligence:

Great Barron Pagoda, March 10, 1853.-1 hasten to give
you the cheering news, arrived but last night from Prome,
on the accuracy of which every reliance may be placed.
Our commissioner arrived here last night, and will return
to Proms, accompanied by the commodore, for the purpose
of signing the treaty. The high officers from the court of
Ava are expected at Prome by the 25th lust. They arc
most anxious for peace; but whether they will swallow the
large and bitter pill prepared for them by our politicale
remains to be seen. The Berenice has been detained, I
suppose to carry the above particulars for the information
of the Governor-General. Tho people at Ava are literally
starving from scarcity of grain. The heat continues
unabated. _

All is well and quiet at Rangoon, Pegn, Hamada, and
Promo. The land column under Brigadier•Geoeral Steel,
C. 8., is getting on famously, by capturing the enemy's
guns to any number. A rumour is prevalent that the old
King, who was ?lOU eat inventus, is going to thrash his
brother, whom our friends would have king. Should
such be the fact, we must support our priAje, and with
this view the general, with a strong force, will move for
Ave, it is expected, on the 25th inst.—more anon. The
heat continues unabated during the day, but the mornings
and nights are cool and refreshing. Sichnesa, lam glad to
say, is not prevailing to any alarming extent ; and small-
pox, according to mercantile phreseology, " on the de•
cline."
