RANGOON.
(From the Englishman, Jan. 18). A letter received by the last Ragoon mail advises us that, notwithstanding the lightness of the monsoon in the Prome district, and the fears that were in consequence entertained that the rice crop would fail, it has been exceedingly good ; and that large exports of paddy are taking place thence into Burmih Proper, and of rice by the river to Lower Pegu. The exports of rice into Burmah Proper from Pegu aye expected to be unusually large this year, for while the paddy crop in the British possessions has been unusually large, it has, been exceedingly scanty in the King's dominions.
