" This is to certify, that by order of General Mercer, at the desire of Mysore. M'Adam and Co. we made experiments with their preparations of Mineral Brown Paint in April and Sep tember, 1806. The situation of the wood and iron work made we of in this experiment is very high, and entirely exposed to the wind from the Channel , where it is difficuk to fin any coating able to resist the weather. The paint, after having withstood the winter in the above situation, has formed a very hard and com pact body on both wood and iron work ; the wood when cut is hard and very dry; the iron free from every appearance of rust.-- From the present appearance of the Mineral Brown Paint, its bard, solid, and impenetrable state, there is every reason to bdirre that it will defend the wood and iron work for years against the effect of weather and the moisture of the atmosphere ' • and we give ' it as our opinion, that it is a useful coating for wood and iron work exposed to the weather or to damp, and consider it to be 'cheaper than any other that can be procured. .

"I cannot fail to communicate to you the following satisfactory news from Greece:—Know, then, that art.: Missolonghi had been blockaded 105 days by Rome li Valessi, and stiictly hesieged for some days by land and sea, by all the Torkish forces, they ende voured, through the means of the Commanders of the European vessels at that station, to psrsuade the besieged to capi tulate, piornising to leave the inhabitants, not only their ' arms, but also all their effects. The owdiators did not fail to intimi,iate the inhabitaiiFS, by saying, that if they (IA not give op the place the snem.y would tak.: it by aushaire,qoartstetoive,;,sinkthwevap tme eit the Meek Rao, akunalleCt) * cOme co ;heir . assist= We, sutce the mpriners Wete ocquOied in , friniporting air feetillies to places of security in other' cuunfries. And thetsaid, also, that the whole of the :Peloponnesus Was on t$ point of falling .into the power of IbraltiCa l Pacha. Qn hearing this, some timid Chiefs begin to hesitate, and a council of war was held. Tlie first who,, answered the proposition was the brave Nota Box:arise who spoke to this effect : 'I and my 500 will sacrifice ourselves, and the enemy shall, at leapt, not gain Mis solonghi, without having planted his flag among our, bones. In the same manner the famous Nicetas replied also, and after him all the others, who at first had been, inclined to capitulate. The apitan Pacha having. beard this, informed Bran di Valessi that the time was precious, since be expected the Greek flotilla every mo ment in these waters, and that then he would not be: able to remain there any longer, and that, therefore, the ; order for the assault should be immediately given.- That he, in the meantime, would "second the assault- With his boats. Roineli Valessi immediately ordered all his.troops, who were in great numbers, some say -32,000, to arms; and on the 2d of Augu;t, two, hours, before sunrise, the Turks assaulted the place on all sides by land, and 4,000 men in their boats assisted. their operations by sea. The firing lasted for four; hours, and all the surrounding places were shaken by it. " The Commanders of the European vessels stood on the look out, on the masts of their ships, with tele scopes in their hands, but the denseness of the smoke' impeded their seeing. When .the carnage was some what subsided, they saw, with surprise, the banner oft the cross still waving on the walls of the fortress ; for • they had not doubted in the least of its. being obliged to surrender to the assault 'of so foraidabia a force: IThe Greeks fought with indescribable ardour and intie pidity, and filled the trenches with the enemy's corpies. Several thousands :mind a grate beneath the walls of Missolonghi, and the rest fled, pursued by the Greeks, to Kerastovo. A great quantity of ammunition, bag gage, colours, &c. fell into the power of the Greeks. Igicetas performed prodigies of valour at Vassiladi against the enemy, who attacked that place by sea, all of whom fell victims, as the Turkish fleet fled before they could regain their vessels. An Austrian schooner of war brought this, intelligence to. Zante. An English ftigate arrived here, has brought many letters and couriers, which come express from all sides, and con firm important victory. Our Lord High Comm'ssioner shed tears of joy, and conceded the merited ►ribute of praise to Grecian valour, and particularly to that of Nota Bozzaris. The same frigate, coming in haste with the news, passed the Turkish fleet, which-was in action with the Greek squadron. A merchant vessel from Ithaca confirms the above, and adds, that on Monday land Tuesday the Captain heard a heavy cannonading, and saw the summits of the mountains covered with people with telescopes in their hands. We expected to hear almost immediately the result of the naval engage ! . ment. We hope that the Peloponnesus will soon con vince Ibrahim Pacha of the valour of its inhabitants. He has already lost many of his followers in different engagements. He is surrounded by 20,000 Greeks at Ttipotaina, who will not permit him to escape." HAYTI. --...-- h is stated in letters from Oatend, that a vessel had arrived there on Friday from Port-au•Prince, the Cap tainof which stated, that immediately after the public announcement of the recognition of the independence of Hayti, some Dutch and English merchants, re.ident at Port-au-Prince t waited upon the President, for the purpose of receiving some information as to the line of conduct which he intended to adopt towards them. They were most graciously received, and assured by the President that, notwithstanding whathad °centred, he kad too high a respect for the energy and enterprise of the English and Dutch merchants to do anything restrictive of their pursuits, without the most absolute necessity ; and then they would find him ever disposed to strengthen the ties which already existed between them and the Haytian Republic. A letter from Pout-au-Prince, of the 12th of July, suys-- ,, An entertainment was given yesterday evening by the President to the Baron de Mac kau and the officers of the French squadron. The whee was splendidly got up, and the greatest order and good humour preserved. The toasts after dinner were-' Charles the Xth: I The President .of Hayti ; ' France and Hayti—mother and daughter ; and from a distinguished Senator with a great deal of emphasis and feeling--' May we never to cease to Cecil in ourselves, or to impresvon our posterity, that we owe our present simian, our existence as a nation free and independent, to the aid given us by commerce from England, America, and Germany.'"

That the prayer of • your petitioners has been. sus pended. under the hope that their representation and manifest distress would have excited the attention, and compelled the interference of your Honourable House in their behalf. . That /our petitioners have with mournful fidelity heretofore represented the injustice • and oppression which they, and the interests they represent, have long endured ; and your petitioners now declare to your Honourable House that the predicted crisis, the its evitahle result arising from the neglect of their rept,- saltation. is arrived. • • :•:.; That • every other part of the empire, every other branch of industry, has prospered ender the wisdom yf your protecting care, whilst Ibis. portion of the empire is advancing with rapid strides to that ruin which a mischievous system and abandonment to the visionary experiments of specious and interested projectors, can not fail to consummate. • That the evils which oppress your petitioners must command immediate relief, or produce inter minable ruin. . That your petitioners may not be silent under this expectation, lest they, to whew important interests are confided, should be considered as acquiescing in the measures which have l.id them prostrate. and which have made them and their children familiar with the bitter evils of penury and want. That the straggle of your petitioners is not row for restoration of that prosperity which once smiled upon them, but for bread; not for the acquisition of power, but in order that the knife may be averted from their throats. If they are to be sacrificed, let it not be ex pected that they are to be their own executioners ; if they are to let them at least be prepared by con vening their plough-shares and pruning•hooks into weapons of defence. That this is no exaggerated picture of the existing distress and apprehension, is attested.by the rapid revolution with which property has been trans ferred. Scarcely is an ancient name in possession its patrimony • and those who have been driien to the possession Of it, find it an incumbrance instead of payment. That the evils by which this desolation has, been ac complished are the heavy duties to which the staple productions are subject, the peculiar pressure of the 4 per cent. impost, and the wild and intemperate machi nations of those who contemplate that desolation with triumph and most unholy feelings. , That your peti tioners have only to refer to the Journals of your Hoii. House for the proof that the faith of Parliament is pledged to the abolition of the war-duty upon sugar ; that this duty has been drawn, not from the pocket of the consumer, but of the producer, during . ten years of peace; and that a scale of duties, varying with the price, is she only..fair mode of taxation. They have only to refer to thsir own palpable wretchedness is a claim upon the justice of your Honourable House, that this pledge be redeemed by the abolition of this duty '4, :
