Ran the Blockade

NEW YORK, March 24.

The Key West letter of the 21st says that while the captured Steamer was being chased by the Brooklyn the steamers Tennessee and Florida succeeded in making their escape out of the Mississippi, and are probably by this time in Havana.  The Tennessee had 1600 and the Florida 800 bales of cotton on board.
