Another Outrage upon British Decks — an English vessel boarded.

New Orleans, Jan. 2.
--The Picayune publishes a letter received from Havana, of recent date, and also has a copy of the Brownsville Flag. They both state that a United States steamer, off Santiago de Cuba, boarded an English schooner, the Eugenia Smith, bound from Havana to Matamoras, and seized J. W. Zacharie, an extensive merchant of New Orleans, and Thomas Rogers, of Texas, and took them to Fort Taylor. The hatches were broken open, but nothing contraband was found. The schooner was allowed to depart.
