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.
