Escaped from the Brooklyn.
--The
Points a la
Hache (Plaquemines Parish, La.,) Rice Planter of the 22d ult., says:
‘
We hear that
Mr. Charles F. Demandre's sloop a few days ago was captured by the
Brooklyn about a mile of Pess a Cutre.
During four days
Mr. Demandre was kept a prisoner.
On the fourth day the
Brooklyn gave chase to a vessel in the offing.
Mr. Demandre being left alone on board his craft at Pass a P'Ontre, as soon as
Lincoln's man of war was far out at sea, slipped his anchor and made for
Lake Borgne, where he fortunately arrived' without failing in with any of the enemy's armed steamers, which were reported to be then cruising in that estuary of the
Mexican gulf.
