St. Petersburgh, May 7. ALEXANDER. The Scots emigrants, who lately arrived at Pit lan, sailed from Leith about five weeks ago in the Helen, Chartres. They consist chiefly of small farmers and shepherds front the so' hero counties of Scotland, ho have been induced, by . the liberal arrangements of Count Poe, a Polish No bleman, to settle as a Colony on his estate of llovs ponda, for the purpose of introducing the improved agriculture of Scotland into the fertile but ill-culti vated plains of Poland. The Count has allotted a tract of hi,: best land for the station of the colony, to which he has given the name Of Scotia. They enter upon regular leases of twenty years, at a rent almost nominal ; and, besides other peculiar advantages, they are, by an ukase of the Emperor ALL A ANDBR, freed from the operation oft he military conscription. Liberal provision has also been made by the proprietor for a Presbyterian Clergy man, who will speedily join cheat, and who will also act as schoolmaster to the Settlement.

ANECDOTE of BUONAPARTE AND TALMA THE FRENCH TR AGEDI .—The interest which this celebrated iragediaa's visit to London seems to have excited in the mind of the British patine, induces us to think the folio ing anecdote, which W e nave upon . the authority of a French Gentle man, now resident in Dumfries, may not be alto gether uninteresting to our readers. While Boo wiparre w as wily a Captain at Artillery, he and Taluta :rappelled to dine one day at the same hotel, though nut in the same party. The player on !bat occasion dined alone, while the soldi,r of fortune presided among a knot of brother officers, Who hail assembled on his invitation, and at his expence. While his friends were retiring, 800 - ;miute lingered behind, for the parpnse of set tling the bill, which, having beco charged more extravagantly than-he expected, unluckily exceed ed the means he could command at the moment. In this dilemma, be evinced his characteristic promptitude and decision at character. Unlike a Frenchman, he mimic ut ither speech nor apology, but produced hiS sword saying to the waiter," Re tain this for the balance till to=morrow, when, upon the honour of a Gentleman, I will redeem the pledge." The waiter, who probably could not discriminate betwixt the "heaven-erected face" of a man of honour and the address of a swindler, de murred about the bargain ) when Talma started across the room, and indignantly told him, if he doubted the gentleman's word, to place the sum to his account . The waiter bowed assent, and retired. Boonaparte felt the obligation ,alt bough his manner of expressing his sense of it was laconic, and even dry. But riS may be conjectured, did not lose any thing by his bond of ciaution.— O n the contrary, his politeness gained hint a powerful friend, who, both during his and imperial reign, embraced every opportunity that presented itself at praisin f .; his talents and promoting his. interest.—(Dumfries Paper.)

The Abettors of Unirersul Suffrage are therefore, if not declared, yet ill-concealed R&•pnblic:lns.
