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 »

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."

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.

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

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

age of 25 years, who cart procure fufficient recom
mendations forfobriety,and ofhavingperfoimed
the duties required by their indentures, of at lealt
two reputable citizens, who are willing to be sure
ties from them ; at an interest of five per cent.
per annum. 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

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

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.

THE EFFUSION OF A GENTLEMAN,

CHILD ASLEEP.
SOFT Babe! sweet image of a harmless mind !
How <?alm that fteep-which innocence enjoy*!
The smiling chcck thou in thy (lumber wear'ft,
Is Nature's language for 3 gentle heart ;
ft fays all's peace within. It ij thy j
It'ii the blcft privilege of thy tender age
To wake, or deep in peace ; to know no fears,
To dread rto ill, to (mile on friend and foe.
— I —Could gazing cetcli that look or cordial peace,
My ardent eye 1 I'd si* to pluck it thence,
And pbnt it in my breaft.—lnvaitithat thought :
Heavn this blift to finful man denies ;
'Tis Virtue's crown ; and e'n an Angel's wealth.
Sleep on, mild infant; deep, and never know
What thy fond Parent fecis; now feels for thee,
Though tliou feel'ftnovght. May kibd heaven grant
Thou never wake'afftin. llo* sweet to pass
From Earth to Heaven on so Toft a wing!
Those looks would fix a smile on Death's clieek.

And play within '.he Horrors of a goal.

Thy (leeplnjg hours; and when thou fniil'd, I'll smile ;
Smtle e'en in misery ; wipe myftreaming eye,

THy mother in her peaceful tomb is laTd ;
Silent her griefs, which fretted life away ;
At fight of thee her tender heirt would bleed ;
It bled for Others woes ; for thine 'twouPd stream.

From any wretch that walk'd this earth in paitiv
When thy rich blefiings on my head were pour'd
