RILEY, THE DESERTER. .
This uotoriou renegade and deserter troco

sympathy in the heart of a few citizen of
Hie United Suit s, by spreading abroad the
report that he wo unjustly uu united by Gen.

KatY, the DepERTtB. A letter to the
Fawtucket Chronicle, from one of a party
bound 10 Calilorina, by the way of Mexico,
hue the following notice ol the personage
above named. Ledger
At Jalapa we were called on by Colonel
Riley, the Irish deserter, (so called). He is
an officer in the Mexican army, and say he
lias been unjustly punished by Gen. Scott,
us he never was an American citizen, nor
wa he enrolled in the American army. He
cume to Mexico on bis own hook, and asked a
coraruistioi from Gen. Taylor, was refused ;
and as bus object was to make money, he
joined the Mexican, and alter serving in
all the battles, waa taken at Lhurubusco.
He received two hundred stripes, the letter
L. was burnt on his cheek, and he was im
prisoned nine months. H Intend a soon
as Geu. Taylor take hi sent to apply to the
U. S. lor redress, which, if his story be true,
he will uodoubtedly get. h i aaid Gn.
Taylor never considered bin aV deserter,
lie is a hue specimen of an Irish gentleman,
and a friend lo all Americans, il bo great
influence here, and ha helped many Ameri
cans ihal were la trouble here. We dined
with him on Sunddy. and had a very pleas
ant time.'
Now it ia a fact too well known to bear
contradiction, that Riley dcaerted frn the
American army at Corpus Christi, a abort
lime before th war with Mexico, and thro'-
out the entire eampaign, evinced an Arnold-
ike hostility to the American. Me wa
among ihe lat to quit the bloody height of
Cerro Gerdo. and on the gory field of Chortt-
busco, he did more lo injure the Americans
... . I I . .
in their advance upon tnose worse, mau sunr
ofheer they had 10 contend with. He waf b
leader 0: that body ot aeserier Known as
The Foreign Legion.' and commanded them
at the bridge of Chunibuaro, better known
ii this huLnrv nf that aanffuinarv conflict, as
the 'Tele de Fcnt , and being aa eipcti
artilleryman, he created fearlul havoc mi me
American ranka. as tney issuea inui me con
vent, and bore down upon the spot. Ho
was taken prisoner, together with hi men,
who not loutf afterwards expiated their their
crime upon ihe gallows ; while h. the main
mover, and principal prraoiisgo. e-K-

commenced. And yet, ttn man wnose

and soldiers in our army, wnose oones are
