METHOD OF PRESERVING CORN IN SACKS.-Pro vide a reed-cane, or other hollow flick, made fo by glewing two Clicks grooved hollow; let it be about three feet nine inches long; and, that it may be the eafier thruft down to the bottom of the corn in the fack, its end is to be made taper to a point, by a wooden plug that is fixed in, and (lops the orifice. About an hundred and fifty fmall holes of one eighth of an inch diameter, arc to be bored on all fides of the flick, from its bottom, to two feet ten inches of its length ; but no nearer to the furface of the corn, left too great a proportion of the air should efcape there. By wreathing pack-thread in a fpiral fcrew-like form round the flick, the boring of the holes may be the better regulated, fo as to have them about half an inch dillan' towards the bottom, but gradually at wider diftances lo as to be an inch asunder at the upper part ; by which means the lower part of the corn will have its doe proportion of frelh air. To the top of the click let there be fixed a leathern pipe ten inches long t which pipe is to be diftended by two yards of fpiral wire coiled up within it. At the upper part of the pipe is fixed a taper wooden fawcet,into which the nofe of acommon houfehold bellows is to be put, in order to ventilate the corn. If corn, when firft put into Cocks, be thus aired every other, or third day, for ten or fifteen mi nutes, its damp fwear, which would hurt it, will, in a few weel:s, be carried off to Each a degree, that afterwards it will keep fweet with very little airing, as has been found by experience. By the fame means many other kinds of feeds, as well as corn, may be kept fweet, either in fads or fmall bins; but then in bins the air links mutt be made only near the bottom of the canes, be. caufe the air muff in that cafe all afcend nip.rards, fine it cannot go through the fides of the bin, as it will through lacks. This method mull not be underflood to refer to barley; all other grain is fafely preferved in this snowier.: but nothing can prevent a deleterious fermentation of barley once out of the flraw. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sit—Tithes have long been confidered a fubjc of great grievance, both from their tendency to check a fpirit of general improvement, and the ob noxious manner in which they are often coUetfted by tithe farmers, and the unprincipled part of the Clergy.—l am unfortunately fituated in a Pariffi, where one of this latter defcription occafionally re fides. One of chore charafters emphatically de fcribed by Mr. HORNR Toots, in the following words : " Neither defigned by Nature nor Edu cation for the Sacred Funetion; who fomehow contrives to procure Ordination, but who would have been much more fitly employed in making hobnails." A man under the influence of his own paffions, in a conftant (late of effervercence, and regardlefs of thole precepts of his Div IN a MAIM, which in culcated " Peace and good will towards men."— An overbearing intolerant difpofition, united to the fear of having tithes taken in kind (which, to an irduflrious farmer, is more dittreffing than a Rack Rent), has enabled him to hold his parifh ioners in a (late of Vaffialage for years ; dealing out to them that quantum of Church Duty which fu is his owa difpofition and convenience, and retaining Curates without any licence from the Ordinary, that he may gratify himfelf by dientiffing them at pleafure, which he frequently does. For many years, this Gentleman has been in the habit of re fiding for fia months of the year in the County town, and for thefe Lift foss years, has negleeted to officiate in his Parifh Church in any capacity whatever, yet enjoys full health and`vigour. He employs a Curare at prefent, who comes once a we:.k to gallop over Divine Service, which is the amount of all the duty wc have performed in a Re&ory of fome value. Shall it be laid, that this . man "labours in the Vineyard," or has any title to receive indulgence from a Bill laid to be now pending in Parliament ? I poffefs a little Cottage in this parifh, with a neat Garden round it, which appears to have attrafted the attention of this be nevolent Prieft. My Garden, which I have tome little pride in, is now vifited daily by a tithing man, properly educated for the purpofe of creating vex ation, and avowedly acknowledged to be his chief motive. A fituation like this, which is remote from my large market town, vaill not admit of any void for the articles produced in a Kitchen Gar el-n. Terrors of the Exchequer are held up to my fel rants, if a flrawberry or cherry is pulled by the children without the Tithing man 'icing prefent.— Under there circumflances, Mr. rot rout, (for the law affords no fufficient retirees) I hope you will pert-it the infertion of this Ihott (latement, that f9me Member of the I.eg , fi it tir: m.oy confider and gc it in fin port if .tr.y all that r.lay hereafter be brought alit n the ilonfe of Commons, for the 116,1ition ill tithes. I am, hit, yours, Ito STICUS. BMA/BURGH, JULY 15. Our Journals contain the following article : The difpatcbes which the brig Lodi has brought from Egypt have as yet only been publifhed by extracts. A letter has however been received here from a perfon belongingto the army on board the Lodi, in the road of Nice, which Rates that the fituation of affairs in Egypt is not the beR poffible, of which there are two principal caufes :—Firfl, the difagreement between feveral of the Generals, efpecially beaveen MENou and Rso.sii FR ; and le condly, the plague which broke out in Cairo and Upper Egypt a fhort time before the attack of the Englifh, and prevented the neceffary meafures being taken to collea the whole army, and attack the En , rlith on every fide before they had time to ellablith themfelves on fhore. Before the Lodi failed, above 50,000 perfons had already fallen viCtims to this dreadful difeafe. In Cairo nearly rOOO die daily. Many of the French have been carried off by this dillemper, which is the more ferious a lots, as the number of French troops is ' now greatly diminifhed. In Upper Egypt, Moo.. RAD BEY, five o::hcr inferior Beys, and 1230 Ma malukes, have died of the plague. The difagree ment between the French Generals, was principal ly occalioned by the plan of operations againit the Englith, which MENOU propofed, and Ittortteß decidedly difapproved. The confequences of this were a kind of fchifm ; for REUNIER, and ft veral others of the Generals would no longer take a part in the military operations, and at length REGN lER embarked for France, where he has adually at ' rived, with General DA MA S, late Chief of the Staff of the Army of the EaR, under General KL GEER, the General Infpeftor DANTE, alld fe veral other perfons of ditlinetion. TURKE r. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE s 5. The.laft accounts which ve received here from Egypt came down to the ad of June, and mention that the army of the GRAND VIZIER had formed a junkion near Cairo with the corps under the Capi tan PASHA. The Gamin Vizrza bad waited for thic jundion to undertake an attack upon Cairo, where there is ftill a French corps which en deavours to defend the forts there. We have not as yet received any account that the Englifh troops from the Eaft Indies, which have landed at Suez, have joined the GRAND Vitiate. In an aaion which took place on the 18th of May. be tween the French and the GRAND VIZIER, a corps of Turks of sOOO men bravely maintained their ground againit almoft an equal number of French, who endeavoured to attack the rear of the GRAND VIZIER, till they received a reinforcement of 4000 men, which compelled the enemy to retreat. The difagreement which prevails among the French Generals has been of great advantage to the Turks and the Englifh. The &nation of Alexandria is Paid to be more than critical ; it is greatly in want of water. Dif patches from the Commandant of Alexandria to the Firft Conful BONAPARTE, found on board a fhip taken by the Englifh, fully confirm the diilref fed condition.of Alexandria. We have received advices here, that the (qua. dron of Admiral GANTHIALIME was feen on the 12th of June off Cape Spartivento, on the Coati of Calabria. The next day the fquadron of Admi ral WARR Ls! appeared in the fame teas. It is be lieved here that an engagement has taken place between the two fleets at the entrance of the Adri atic. • The French Admiral, it is fuppofed, intend ed to take on board more French troops at Otranto, or Brindifi, and. thence proceed to Egypt, or pof fibly make an attack on Tome of the Turkifh pro vinces in the neighbourhood of the Adriatic. The Englifh Amballador here, Lord ELors, fent off to the fleet under Lord KIITH, confidera ble fums of money, which he had received from his Court. Mr. HAMILTON, private Secretary to Lord ELGIN, has the charge of this money on board the velrel that carries it. It is lard Sir SIDNEY SMITH is returning to Eng land on board the Troia. His Secretary haft loft his life in the Nile. ITAL r. MILAN, JULY 6. A Genoefe Journal of the 11l init. rays, that ac. cording to accounts brought by a fhip arrived in the Gulf of Spezzia, a confiderable Spanifli and French fleet has been fees off the coati of Sardinia. According to advices from Leghorn, of the sci intl. a French fhip of the line and two frigates had approached that road; and by accounts from Naples, of the 24th of June, a numerous fleet bad appeared in fight of that harbour, but their flag could net be cfiGinguifhed. The fame accounts from Naples, mention a tea engagement between Barletta and Brindill ; this engagement is likewife mentioned in letters from Ancona, of the 22d of June, with the addition that a cannonade had been heard there which Lifted eight hours, and :flames had been leen to attend at a diflance, as if from !hips on fire, but nothing farther was known of the circumflance or iffue of this engagement. According to the laft accounts from Leghorn, Porto Ferrajo Gill holds out bravely, notwith. Handing the heavy bombarding, which has done great damage; fome Englifh flaps have thrown new fuccours into the place, and the French have ereeed a new battery of four mortars. At Naples intelligence is faid' to have been re ceived, that the French flotilla s on the Nile, not withflat.ding its being fupported by land-batteries, had been defeated by the Erglifh flotilla, and had loft 18 men in killed, t zoo in prifoners, and a part of the 17 Hoops of which it was compofed; and that the Englifh fleet had afterwards advanced againfl Cairo. The Italian emigrants have been ordered to quit Leghorn, where Grncral isfurscr had the no:di:try me:dm-es to prevent the En lilh ficni being with pro% Th, port of Le•lJrn hid born ihnt tip tnr a th:.,rt evacuation of the Papal fort of St. Leo, and of the province of Monte Feltro, on the part of the French troops. A dreadful calamity has happened in the Ro• man territory, on the road from Chiete to Topoli, by the finking of a mountain, which has rendered the road impalTable at the diflance of a league and a half. According to the accounts of fome French officers, this phenomenon was the effect of an earthquake, and has coil the lives of Soo inhabi tants and 23 Frenchmen. A river in that neigh bourhood has been obilruaed in its comic, by this event, and has now formed a lake of the furround kg fields. GER MANY. VIENNA, JULY Is. According to accounts from Paris, the French Government will not fend an Ambaffador, but only an Envoy to Vienna; and an Auftrian Envoy is in like manner expeEted at Paris, fince in the Treaty of Campo-Formio the maintenance of En voys only is ftipulated, and the Treaty of Lunerille is founded on that of Campo-Formlo. Count PHI LIP CoextrrzEL will therefore go as Imperial En voy Extraordinary, or Ambaffador to Paris ; and the Counfellor of State, Citizen CHAMPAGNY, will come as French Envoy to Vienna. The Privy• Conference Minifter, Count PHILIP CoBEHrzFL, who is appointed Ambaffador to Pa ris, «•ill fct out for that city In the Autifmn. The Honourable ARTHUR P&G ET, who is ap pointed Britifh Envoy Extraordinary to our Court in the room of Lord MOT°, is expected here in the prefent month.

It was accompanied with another curiofity, a very polite note which the Admiral had written with his left hand. The engaging civility, politenefs, and agreeable be haviour of the Officers of this fleet, and of all the people in general which thofe by whom they were vifited cannot fufficiently extol, completely defiroys that prejudice which has prevailed in Germany againft the Englias charafter, and for which too jug ground has been given by the con.
