LONDON, March 28. From the French National Gazette. THE schemes of the Sciota company become more alarming. More efficacious means than those proposed by M. Maulu ought to be a dopted if we would effe<sually rid France of this iiuifance. If the gentlemen, who have Opened the office under the ~3iredtion of the Sciota com- pany,are foreigners,the befl treatment they ought to expetft is to be ordered to depatt the kingdom ■within eight days, as persons guilty of violating the laws of nations. If they are Frenchmen they ought to be brought to trial as fubjedts charged ■with the crime of treason againlt the nation. — !No pretence whatever can jultit'y a further fuf ierance. A company avowedly formed to depo pulate this country, ought not to be allowed two days existence in France. [Notivithjtaiding the extreme jealousy of the Pariftam in refpeci io the emi gration of their countrymen to the United States, it is thought they might part withfever al thou funds of them ■without cc/ifideratle detriment. That the National Afewiily view the matter in this light is evident from the late arrivals of French emigranti in the Pctoiomac.] The following is translated from a late Paris Daily Gazette. It is highly proper and laudable for the United States of North America to make agriculture and commerce the foundation of their power ; and it is possible we may charge theni unjustly when we lav, we have reason to fufpe<ft that they have no objection to depopulating France, provided they could thereby advance their own population — a measure which would not be permitted even by nations actually in a ltate of hoftilicy with each other. Is it then possible to suppose that the A merican States mean to make so ungrateful a re turn to France, for the succour (he has afforded them ? " An association, however, knowii by the name of the Sciota company, actually exists in Paris, who have opened an office in New-Street (RueNeuve) No. 162. This company have already printed and published adveriifements, the sole design of which is to persuade the French to emigrate to N. America. The offers they hold out are very tempting—a paflagefree of expence—a fliortand easy service after their arrival, and lands given them in return for such service. They have even the ailurance to fay, " That this is confering a benefit upon France, considering lier present situa tion, in dilburthening her of a fuperfluous popu lation, ac once diltreiiing and dangerous." It is not probable ihat the French government will con sent to such emigrations. France has new lands to cultivate as well as the United States of Ame rica, and labor enough to employ all her citizens. How eome» it, then, that such an office as that of the Sciota Afl'ociation should be allowed in Paris, and the publication of their pamphlets pexmitted » ASSOCIATION. The following articles are said to have been f'gned at Berlin on the qth of January last by the MinisterS of the King of Great Britain, the King of Prussia and their High Mightinesses the States General of tht United (Dutch) Provinces. WHEREAS the troubles of the Netherlands are of a nature to interelt the high contracting par ties, and which may poflibly call for their inter ference, the following general articles hive been provisionally agreed to, which they severally bind themselves to carry into execution. Article I. " They will not take any part in those troubles, unless invited or compelled so to do by circumstances. 11. " Having an interell in the preservation of the privileges of the Netherlands, the high con crafting parties shall invite his imperial Majesty Co secure them, and fee that the Prullian and Dutch frontiers be not hereafter diltui bed or alarmed. 111. " Shonld the Netherlands become free and independent, then the High contracting parties will take into confidcration the nature of the con stitution, and deliberate whether they will recog nize their independence. IV. " No foreign power ftiall be fuffered to accede and become a party in this treaty, with out the consent of the prefept high rt>ntra<3ing parties. x V. " Whatever may be the conTequences which this treaty may produce the high.contracling par ties will ltand by each other and inake a common cause of it." BKLGIC PROVINCES. The unblefflilhed cliaradler, and pacific prof fers of Leopold 11. have no imprelfion on tht Belgic ftanss. In the Memoir which accompa - liied his lifter, and the Duke of Saxe Tefchen's letter to the states of Brabant, he unequivocally reprobated the Emperor's system, promised the most unlimited redress of grievances, and offered to accept the soVereignty of the Netherlands un der limitations and reftriftionfc that would have rendered it nearly nominal. These propofuions were, by the states of Bra bant, on the 6th, referred to the fovcreign Con grefs of the Belgic Commonwealth, and rejected on the 9th by that body, without a diviftoii or debate. BOSTON. DR. FRANKLIN'S WILL THE Selectmen having received from tlie exe cutors of Dr. Franklin's will extracfts there from, communicated the laine to the town, at the adjourned town meeting. The extracts are lengthy, and contain many of those judicious and elegant maxims and otferva tions, for which the Doctor is so jnftly celebra ted. They contain legacies to the town, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and his relations. To the town he has bequeathed i isol. One hundred pounds of which is to the grammar schools—the interest of which is to be laid out in medals, to be given tofuch fcholarsas shall excel in certain acquirements.

The interest and a tenth part of the principal to be paid annually. Thisfum be ing thus made an accumulating fund, the Doctor has provided for the appropriation of its produdt in 100 years, [when it will amount to 131,0001. IterlingJ—one hundred thousand p'titids for public works, and the remaining 3i,0001. to begin a se cond Fund on the principles of the legacy now left ; Until another centnry expires, when it will accumulate to 4,000,000!. —one million of which the town is to dispose of ; and the other three mil j lions the state, the Dotftor not wifliing to extend his views any further. There are many other particulars, which, as we relate from memory, we cannot at present give correct to our renders. Nor can we attempt any part of it in the language of the deceased. As a corretl copy will undoubt edly be published—the foregoing Iketch may i fuffice. ■ PORTSMOUTH April 2S- A gentleman of Montgomery county, Pennfyl vanin, took the following piethod lately to pre ftrve peach trees from being injured by worms caterpillars, &c. He cleared away the gum that iliucil out of the tree affe<fled by the worm ; strew ed a little flour of brimstone round the root, and covered it with fine mould that it might not blow away, yet fothat the fun might opiate through and cause the Ibrimftone to fumigate \Vhich des troyed the worms, one. pound bf brimllone is fufficient for near two hu Ired trees. The fame kind of sulphur he alio found ro be deftrucftive to caterpillars. In the latter cafe his plan was as follows : He fplic thfc end of a pole or stick, put therein a few briinltone matches, set them on fire, and held the pole under the nest. This destroys the caterpillars. A pole thus lightened will serVe for three or four nests. NKW-YORK, May 22. A debating society has been lately established in Wilmington, Delaware.
