gen. GEORGE WASHINGTON DIXON IN
TROUBLE. The notorious George Washington
Dixon, who assumes to be at the head Of ''the
great expedition to Yucatan," was arrested al
New Orleans ON the llth inst, charged with
Sighting and disturbing the peace. The Plea
yune, in its notice of the scene at the Recorders
Office, says:


At length stir was heard at the door A
police officer, looking very much heated entered
and was followed by middle sized, dark COM
plexoned man, with a heavy black moustache
and whiskers, and long black hair inclining to
curl. As nc doffed his military cap, heavy
gold band and stars glittered in the sunshine.
His coat was of a military cut, the collar trim
med with gold bands, upon each shoulder was
perched large gilt eagle, and at The back of
his coat another, as if they had descended for
the purpose of making an aerial ascent with the
Wearer, but couldn't u bear him-aloft. His blue
pantaloons reloiced in crimson stripe down
each leg, and his tout ensemble, including a scar
across the bridge of his nose, rendered his APP
peaTance truly remarkable. The spectators and
the officers were electrified with disappearance,
but how much more were they shocked when,
after the lapse OF few moments, the Recorder
called out ia firm voice, George Washington
pironm


Had MIR. Colt suddenly sprung his submarine
battery under the Recorders desk, they could
not have been more astounded George Wash
ington Dixon, "the American bufo singer,
editor" and selEcIeated General, sc, SC,
&c" stood before them in all his native beauty,
and upon a charge preferTsd by Capt Winter,
ofthe night watch, of fighting and disturbing
the peace at an unseemly hour of tie night in
st. Charles street Dixon urged that he had
acted i'll selEdelence, had been beset for hours
by ''a certain class of individuals" and in fine
had been placed in quite as unpleasant a posi-
ton as Falstaif was with the men in buckrem.
and had enacted quite as many prodigies OF
yaor as that redoutable hero, all in solGdefence.
The Recorder expressed his opinion that both
Dixon and another person who was also ar
rested had been disorderly, and accordingly
bound them both over to keep the peace
How hath the mighty fallen!"
