CAUTION.
TAYLOR and Co. (successors to M'Adam and Co.,
beg to Caution the Public against the use of any Paints pur-
porting to be MINERAL PAINTS which are not supplied from
their Manufactory, or furnished by their appointed Agents, as many
persons are imposing upon the Public the refuse of the Gas Works
(which has been proved by the. highest authorities to be most inju-
rious, particularly as a covering for wood work) by pirating the
name of their Paints, which have for upwards of twenty ywts (note
evithsteeding the great and open competition) received
pateenage from Government, who still continue to use it, end the
following Certificates, granted by the highly distinguished Of
in his Majesty's service, will fully prove its durability and econontie.
notwithstanding the apparent cheapness of these spurious and ineffi-
cient imitations. The ingredients these Paints are composed of are.
Manufactured at the Works erected and conducted under the late'
Earl of Dundonald's Patent, to which no other house has access.
The Mineral Paint* are a cheap and durable costing for all out-
door work, such as Wooden, Iron, and Canvas Roofs, Sheds,
Out-houses, Peaces, Palings, Gates, Beet emitEtema beetilinnse
sides and upper works, Wood and Ireerllll/8111ilielks,
Cables, and all Wood and Iron Work under weterotempossd to the
weather ; for Tiles on Roofs, to prevent that keel's water and
being injured by frost ;and for coating Brick walls le prevent damps.
No wood coated with these Paints will be wornmaten, nor will
insects or vermin of any kind hatable hot-bed frames, or other
places, coated with them, and they will be found an effectual cure
for the dry rot; being composed entirely of Mineral substances they
are insoluble in water, and thereby resist moisture in a manner sue
perior to all other preparations.'

" We hereby certify, that the Wooden Barracks In Great Britain
have been, for several years put, covered with Messrs. M' Adam
and Co.'s Mineral Brown Paint, for the preservation of the wea-
ther boarding, and it has fully answered the purpose for which it
was applied.

" 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 Romeli
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

And thetsaid, also, that the whole of the :Peloponnesus
Was on t$ point of falling .into the power of IbraltiCal
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-Princet 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.'"
