LITER.aRY INTELLIGENCE.

THE SPY "A New AMERICAN NOVEL.
The work under the above title, the character of
which we gave short time since in the extract
from the New York American" is ascertained to
have been written by Mr. CooPER of Westchester,
IN W the son of the late Judge Cooper of Coop.
erston. County of Otsego, (N. " We congratu-
late this gentleman upon the success which has
attended his publication and shall hail the Pioneer
or the Sources oil the Susquehanna" with unfeign-
ed great joy. We could almost have wished that
this early communication of the authors name had
not taken place. Curiosity is powerful incentive
and the mystery in which the author would have
been involved, would have been an inducement with
many to read his works: we trust he will persevere
and like the "great unknown attract more public
favor at each successive publication.
| Speaking of the anticipated work, the editor oil
the Commercial Advertiser says
"Hc has selected most interesting portion of our
Western Country for his incidents, know by resi-
dence of years In its neghborhood and we anticipate
great delight in camberng with author the rugged
mountains of Osego, gliding in upon the sur.
Anticipating the like pleasure, our expectation
will be on tiptoe.
