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.

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.
