GENERAL SCOTT.

We have met with the intlmation that Gen :.
Scott was about 10 writeR letter, defining his
position on The Compromise Measures. We
are glad TO see by leiler in the New York
Tribune. which has semi-auihori,ive tone,
that Gen. Scott is not going to commit any
such act Of supererogation. We make an
extrac. from The letter: .sss
"The report from Washington, published
in one or more Of the New York papers Of
Wednesday last, stating that Gen. Scott was
upon the point Of writing letter approving
The Compromise, and which some Of his
friends were yerdant enough 10 suppose had
some ruth in it., is without the shadow Of
foundation. Ii is Of piece with the strange,
startling, extraordinary announcements we
often see made for the use and consumption
Of open mouthed gullibilily. And the report
is not only untrue now, but it will be untrue
TO the end, however often it may be revived.
If Gen, Scott cannot be elected without
letters, without pledges, "wilhout protesIa-
