SCOTT.

[To TIIE EDITOR ON TRIO SPECTATOR. '']

DEAR Mit. SPECTATOR,—You have made us unhappy. In to-day's paper your " A." has these words, " But lie did it as a novelist, and not as a poet." This disquiets us much.—Yours truly, THE TROSSACHS, NO1111AM, CORRUISK, ASHIESTIEL; MELROSE, THE BRIG 0"rURK, SMAJTAIOLINI, Bair Liter, N mwAnK, BEN VENUE,
