ALEXANDRIA, Feb. 3.
We are informed an express arrived at Washington yesterday morning from New Orleans, bringing an account of a serious insurrection having broken out among the troops under the command of General Wilkinson--and a remonstrance from the officers of the army to the president of the U. States, praying the immediate removal of Gen. Wilkinson from the command of that army, as the only possible mode of restoring order and discipline in the camp.
The National Intelligencer of the day following takes no notice of the above report, we are therefore induced to doubt its correctness.
