Rev. George Scott.—We stated some time since that this gentleman—who on his late visit to this country, received so much assistance and sympathy from our churches—had been forcibly expelled from his station as a missionary preacher in Stockholm. The excitement against him was so great—in consequence of some statements made by him while in this country—that the government were induced to close his chapel. Mr. Scott writes to the editors of the New York Observer, that he designs to publish a statement of facts in the case—facts, he says, "which will astonish the Christians of England and America." He is at present in England.—Boston Recorder.
